Iv'e had this post half written for about 3 months. Until now.

You know how Spotify gives you a yearly wrap up your music? Well,

I was one of those teenage girls that blasted Burnin' Up on repeat. I had every single album (I still have them all) and even bought the solo records that the boys released. I WAS A SUPER FAN! I'm serious! I watched the Jonas Brother's 3D Concert Experience about 30 times and could recite the whole movie. As you can tell, I was definitely bummed when they broke up. We had no answers and had no information or the truth as to why they split.

UNTIL NOW.

Happiness Begins, the Jonas Brothers documentary on Amazon Prime, gives us all the answers.

The documentary begins with home videos and the history about how the band started. They were honest about how they started the band and how they each has their own talents growing up until they formed the band.

About half way through the documentary, the real raw stories began.

Nick admitted that he had wanted to end the band and felt like they were not growing as a band anymore. It crushed the brothers relationship.

From that point on, the brothers were distant from each other for about 6 years. Kevin said they missed out on pivotal life moments because they had unresolved issues.

Nick was the one who broke up the band, but also the one that got them back together. He missed the feeling of playing with Joe and Kevin.

The brothers decided to give it another shot. But, they had to be 100% honest with each other. They had to.

The documentary shows how raw and real the brothers conversation was. Viewers found out that Nick and Joe played a show without Kevin. They sang Jonas Brother songs and Kevin just was not there.

Nick went solo, and Joe said he wanted to go solo as well. Joe figured out quickly that just because he was a Jonas, it did not mean he was going to be successful on his own. Joe said it was a humbling experience. After releasing his solo album, he waited 4 years to try it again. This time, Joe formed a group called DNCE that released a hit song called "Cake By The Ocean".

In February, the boys announced that they were making a comeback via Instagram. Every girl who grew up on the Jonas Brothers lost their minds.

They released an album in June.

"Sucker" was the Jonas Brothers' first number-one song and the first number one by a boy band on the charts since "Bump, Bump. Bump" by B2K.

The boys are now on tour promoting their album Happiness Begins.

Scheduled in March, the boys will release their book Blood!

THE WORLD BLEW UP. We didn't know it until this year that the Jonas Brothers were what we needed to get back in touch with our feels!

Here is to 2020 and another year to chase happiness!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
