I Waited Two Years To See Billie Eilish Live And It Finally Happened
Sydney Leigh

I remember hearing one of her songs for the first time and instantly being hooked. This was back in my Spotify days (I switched to apple music, don't hate me), I was listening to an alt/indie radio, folding some laundry and "Idontwannabeyouanymore" started playing and I WAS HOOKED. Needed more. I eventually got around to listening to her whole album "Don't Smile At Me" and felt alll the Billie feels... if you know you know. I fell in love with every song on the album and when she started touring I wanted to go to a show but not many people knew who she was at the time. Clearly, that's a whole different story now. She has grown so much and still has even more ears around the world to reach. She is pretty popular now so when she released her latest album "When We All Fall Asleep", I knew she would announce a tour soon after and she did. Somehow by the grace of god my cousin got chosen as a candidate for presale tickets and snagged us some seats for her show in Atlanta (that sold out btw). R U KIDDING ME??????? We somehow managed to get cheaper presale tickets to see Billie Eilish in row C.... wow.

I couldn't believe I was finally gonna be able to see one of my favorite artist preform live and I really didn't believe it up until I saw her WALKING BEHIND STAGE. My friend and I looked at each other at the same time and yelled: "OH MY GOD THAT'S HER!" Shortly after the lights dimmed and she headed on stage and gave it her all as she does at every show. I had seen videos of how energetic her shows were online and it was the exact same in person. She loves to bounce around and get groovy and loves when the crowed does too. I was so impressed to see how similar she is online as she is in person. Its nice knowing that she stays true to herself because she really is such an inspiration to many people, including myself. There was a good amount of children at the show as well so I like that she is setting a good example, its kind of adorable!

Another thing that shook me was her voice. Not her singing voice but just her normal talking voice. I've watched a few interviews of her and seen multiple videos throughout all social media platforms of her and her voice in the videos sounds deeper. In person, her voice is much more high pitched and raspy which I thought was unique. I was so impressed with the entire production. The lights, Intros, digital screen, and props (like the bed you can see in the cover photo), all added to her performance. I was so inspired by the forms of art she played in the background of her singing. They were all super cool. (i will definitely insert some pics). Most of her backgrounds were meant to be eerie and that's definitely the vibe that Billie gives off, I love it. Besides, basically everything is perfect about the entire show I think the best thing was being able to hear her hit high notes in real life... WOW. I was honestly speeches. Her voice sounds EXACTLY like it would coming out of your little I Phone speaker, it's incredible. I admire her for that. I can't imagine how difficult that must be, I feel like a lot of popular artists don't sound the same life and it can be disappointing at times so hats off to Billie!!!!!

I can easily say it was one of my favorite shows, top 10 material haha. She was so fun to watch and sing and dance with. There was so much energy in the venue and since it was a sold out show I feel like that made us all even more hype, especially Billie. She made sure to thank the crowd, she really is so sweet and talented?? To be only seventeen years old she really is killing the game and has the perfect mind set about life in my opinion. If you ever get the chance to see her live I would 100% recommend going, not only will you get your money worth for sure, but you will also leave with an experience to look back on and smile about even if Billie says "don't smile at me", trust me she wants you too :)

"I want to thank Google, Wikipedia, and whoever else invented copy and paste. Thank you."

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

1977
The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
