An open letter to my favorite band.

Dear Pierce the Veil,

Jaime, Vic, Tony, and Mike, it's nice to be writing to you! Hope you all are well! You've recently just finished your first tour after releasing your new album "Misadventures." From the pictures it looks like you had a blast. I hope you did. You played every single song off the new album. There was no way I was missing out on that one. I went to the very last show in LA at The Mayan. This was my sixth time seeing you. The feeling of excitement and awe never goes away. From the moment the lights turn off and I see you come on stage, there is a huge smile plastered on my face. Anyway, my mind was blown! I loved watching you do your thing. Your shows have always amazed me. You really outdid yourselves on this tour. Your songs were great and your production left me speechless. Whoever makes those great interludes you play before your songs has got me wanting a live album.

Misadventures has been more than any album I could have hoped for coming from you. I found so much of how I felt and myself in the lyrics. The many different twists and turns and surprises make it what it is. You can tell how much time and effort went into making this album. I hope you are proud of what you have created. You have made something that showcases what you went through during this time period in your life and no one can make the same thing as you. You are so unique and your songs tell your story.

You recently talked about it in interviews and spoke about how making this album a lot of wrong turns and unexpected delays. You didn't have an explanation as to why things happened that way. You created something good out of whatever bad happened. You didn't let any misadventures hinder your journey to making this new album. This fascinates me because I can relate to that very deeply. You didn't let some bad things ruin your good time. You worked through it and made sure that you came out of it.

Life is a big adventure for me and part of my adventure is a little tough but the other parts are really good. Much like your album, my adventure has taken me to some crazy turns and crazy places. Finding a piece of yourself within something someone else has written is a great feeling. You did just that for me and I can't say thank you enough for how much it means to me.

I have loved going from being a freshmen in high school that listened to "Collide with the Sky" to a sophomore in college who listens to "Misadventures." Your growth has been a testament to my own growth. I have grown up some more with you guys.

Thank you so much for your music, your excitement to do music, and for showcasing your love for your fans always. I speak for myself when I say this, but I'm sure others agree we love you just as much.

Dakota

If you need a new series to watch, I recommend One Tree Hill. I watched this series three times now and it only keeps getting better. If you need any more reasons beside the fact that all of the seasons are on Netflix for your binge-watching pleasure, here are seven more reasons to watch it.

Friendship. It's defined as the state of being attached to another person by feelings of affection or personal regard, but what really is friendship? Is it that occasional hallway talk with that one person who always manages to cheer you up? Is it that relationship you have with someone where they can be gone for a long period of time, but when they come back, it's like they never left? Is it spending every waking hour with someone, and knowing every detail about their life? Is it the relationship that's filled with fighting, but filled with even more resolution? I've learned that it's all of these things, and every friendship is different. It's a beautifully dysfunctional mess that should always be cherished and never be taken for granted.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.
