This past weekend I went to AwesomeCon in Washington D.C. It was so much fun! I met so many people and made a lot of new friends!

I had always wanted to cosplay at a con, I just thought it looked so fun! Because of this, I was able to cosplay as Rey from Star Wars my first day there, and Starfire from Teen Titans my second day there! My older sister, Melody, came along with me and we had so much fun!

It was amazing to see everyone bonding over their shared love for different fandoms, and I truly felt welcomed into this amazing world of fans! There was so much to look at and do I felt overwhelmed, but in a good way!

The first day I had fun running around the show floor with my sister, meeting the REAL B.B.-8 from Star Wars, carrying Luke Skywalker On My Back, and so much more!

The second day my sister and I scored awesome seats to see both John Barrowman AND John Boyega in their panels!! I even got to ask John Boyega a question! I literally just about died from excitement, and even told him I felt like peeing my pants! I feel like I blacked out at that moment because I think I was so excited that now I can’t remember it clearly. Thank goodness my sister captured our encounter on my phone!

I met so many cool people! I met someone with the most realistic Deadpool costume, 2 AWESOME Nightwings’, fellow Rey’s like me, 2 Luke Skywalkers’, an unbelievably cool Slade, and so many more! I hope to be going to many more cons to come!

I felt so welcomed into this world that I’m not sure I ever want to leave it! Everyone should go to a con at least once just so that you can geek out about your favorite things with other fans too
