Hello everyone, I know it has been a couple of months since an article was written by me. But I am back into this and time to review one of the concerts that I just went to a few weeks back. The concert took place at the Studio at Webster Hall in New York City. So let's begin the concert review

Eyes Set to Kill concert review

Yes indeed, you are reading the title correctly as I went to go see Eyes Set to Kill. The band was accompanied by Bad Seed Rising and the Nearly Deads. This was the first concert I went to that was an all female fronted tour. Also the tour has FREE VIP! so do not pass up on that. Just to get this out of the way already, but all of the ladies did wonderful on the tour. This was only the third date of the tour and the tour will range up to May 22nd with May 21st in NJ so I might go again to see all of the wonderful ladies again.

Awake at Last

So the band to begin it all was a local band from Dover, Delaware called Awake At Last. The members of Awake At Last are Vincent (vocals), Tyler (bass and backing vocals), Eric (lead guitarist), Imran (Rhythm guitar), and Jon (drums). For this band, they were the only male fronted band of the night for an all female fronted night. But I can say that the guys did a wonderful job of getting the small capacity crowd going nice and early. The band had some bumps in the performance, more or less the fact that Tyler's wireless amplifier blew on him during a middle of a song. But thanks to the Nearly Deads for lending the guys their drum kit, the band was able to perform a complete set list. Which if anyone heard Vincent sing, some would think that he's like the cloned version of Gerard Way's voice. And if others saw the way that Eric played guitar, some would imagine him being the kid from School of Rock because his techniques are the same that were used in that hit movie. By the end of the night, I became really good friends with all of the guys and the guys currently have another tour going right now, but be aware they are rising up fast. The band released an EP in 2014 but as for some time in July of this year, the band will be releasing their first full album and expect big things from them in the future.

The Nearly Deads

Now to begin the actual show card. the first female fronted band of the night was The Nearly Deads. The Nearly Deads come from Tennessee, but that night was their first ever performance in New York City as a band. The band did really well to start out the night even thorough it started with some teasing to the band's guitarist. The band consists of Theresa (Vocals), Steve (lead guitarist), Kevin (bassist), Javier (rhythm guitar), and Josh (drums). The band did really well for hearing about them for the first time. The Bands merchandise is based on pop culture and movie reference and nerd references. This is because there is a cool poster of the members being cards in like Dungeons & Dragons with statistics and sayings from them. Also, there latest album is called Revenge of the Nearly Deads which references to Revenge of the Nerds. the band is a combination of punk rock and grunge with some alternative rock thrown in. The band is currently unsigned so everyone go check them out and if you like their music then buy merchandise and Tweet the band to a record label looking for some new talents. So from their pop-punk feeling to their bassist almost walking into the crowd during their set and them all having boxes to stand on, I was truly impressed by them. 10/10 would see them again.

Bad Seed Rising

So by now almost everyone should know about them from my early articles about them. Even though it was only a month after seeing them again (Memphis May Fire tour), the kids never seem to fail me. Their set list included hits like What I've done?, 30, Dexies, and Can you feel me. So their set list was a bit longer than their set list when on the Memphis May Fire tour. They all did really well like always, but one criticize is Francheska's vocals seemed a bit soft on the loud meter which would be lost in the loudness of the instruments. For once I did not Snapchat their set, but rather live stream their set on Facebook for once. I would probably live stream their set again, but maybe be a little bit father away just so the vocals do not get lost. But all around, my wonderful children once again did really well and I am truly proud of them and I will always go see them live whenever. Whcih one thing I liked is Aiden just kicking his drums over and leaving the stage with his drums all over. Also, Francheska was crowd surfed away to the merchandise table like always. 20/10 infinity see them no matter what. Sadly I cannot share the live video, but if you log onto Facebook and look my name up you can watch their entire set from that night.

Eyes Set to Kill

Well like Michel Buffet says "Annnnd, noowwwww. It's time for this evenings main event" with Eyes Set to Kill. If you have not heard of them, the band has been around since 2006 and has been internationally known around the world. The band consist of founding member Alexia (lead vocals and guitar), founding member Caleb (drums), new member AJ (rhythm guitar and unclean vocals), and Tiaday (Bass). For any of their die hard fans they should be happy regardless if the sisters are not together because the sound of the bands music has not changed at all with the new members. For the first time seeing them they did a really good job because everyone was going insane for them. One song that I like live is Broken Frames because of the unclean vocals involved in the song because I am a screamer who sounds like screams from Jeremy McKinnon (ADTR). Also while I was at the side of the sage, Tiaday just got in my face and I was complelty covered in her hair, but that did not bother me at all. But they did really well performing and which everyone liked the show. Including myself, I would definitely go see them whenever they are in the NJ/NY area. 20/10

So the concert as a total was an awesome night and for my 5th concert of the year already it was a good one. All of the girls are the nicest girls ever and anyone should catch this tour to experience something new of an all female fronted bands tour. The show was phenomenal besides the volume of the instruments being brought up a lot to destroy Webster Hall. But maybe May 21st in NJ, I might return to catch the end of the tour and see all of these lovely ladies again.

In case you're unaware, "resting bitch face" is the term used to describe when a person's natural, expressionless face makes it look like they are mad at the world. Whether they are walking down the street or simply spacing out thinking about what to eat for dinner, it's very easy for others to assume that this person is either upset or mad at them. Because of this, those of us with Resting Bitch Face (RBF), and especially us women, have all experienced many of the same situations and conversations, including:

We've all had a crush before. Whether it leads to something or nothing, the process has all been the same. The awkward feelings, the stalking, and the stress of trying to keep this huge secret. The feeling of becoming a total spazz is something that cannot be avoided, and the most spazzy family that can relate to this feeling is the Belcher's.

At the tender age of 18, we are bestowed with the title of “adult.” For 17 years, we live under the rules and guidelines of our parents, school, and government, and to stray from any of those rules or guidelines marks us as a rebel. At 18, though, we must choose which college we want to go to or what career we want. We are allowed and encouraged to vote. We can buy lottery tickets and cigarettes. We can drop out of school, leave our household, and do other "adult" things. At 18, we start down a path of thinking for ourselves, when for the entirety of our lives other institutions have been mandated to think and do for us.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

University of Kentucky

pointsincase.com

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

The struggles of having an RBF are all too real

1. People asking if you're mad at them.

2. Those people who hand out flyers don't always try to stop you.

3. Creepy guys telling you to smile.

4. "I thought you were a bitch when I first met you."

5. People telling you you'd be "so much prettier if you smiled."

6. Doing your makeup and looking great, which somehow intensifies the bitch face.

7. Regularly explaining "it's just my face."

We all go through certain stages when we have a crush, Tina just explains it better.

That moment that someone you never looked twice at suddenly makes you do a double take out of no where.

But you can't have a crush, that's outrageous. It's all in your head.

Because you don't have a crush, there's no reason to tell anyone about anything. Right?

But then they do something irresistible and you start to lose it.

Now accepting the fact you have a crush, you have to keep it under control.

Then there's the part where you tell your friends who will claim they called it.

They'll be excited and cheer you on. That's until they realize that your crush is all you'll be talking about.

Your obsession has become so bad, that your Facebook stalking is getting out of control.

But your friends will try and help move things along any way they can. That doesn't mean it will be any helpful though.

As time goes on, you start having fantasies about the two of you and it's starting to scare you a little.

You can't focus on anything because all your attention is on them and everything they do.

Anybody who comes near your crush is now an enemy, and you are willing to fight for your crush.

When you see them, you act like an idiot. Trying to hide your feelings may not be as discrete as you think.

Keeping your feelings inside will start to be harder and harder until you can't keep it inside anymore.

Who knows, maybe it will work out? Take a chance.

Everybody hurts sometimes.

May the odds be ever in your favor.

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

1. You feel like an elder.

2. You may feel lonely.

3. Senioritis is more real than ever.

4. You may feel a little down sometimes.

5. Fear of missing out won't be as real.

6. You are a college pro.

7. You'll have more free time.

8. You're happy you're still in school.

9. You feel like a guru.

10. You continue to grow.
