Your Family As Bands During The Holidays
FanPop

Ahh, the holidays. Tons of food, cozy homes, and your dysfunctional family. Let's face it, we all have that one family member that is just out there or maybe your entire family is like that. And sometimes it's a struggle to deal with them, so let's think of them in a new light: as bands. Yep, I said it. Let's compare these wonderfully weird family members to bands. Here we have five musical doppelgangers for those standard issue family members that we all have.

1. The Weird Uncle - Sigur Ros


The weird uncle. You know the one who always speaks nonsense and can stop a conversation mid-sentence with something he thinks is witty, but highly irrelevant. You usually give him a weak laugh, or the "you tried" pat on the back. Sigur Ros is the perfect fit for our uncle. We love how beautiful they sound, but honestly have no clue what they are talking about.


2. Fun Loving Cousin - Real Friends

We all have that one cousin that we adore. In fact, he hated his hometown just as much as you do and he got out. He's traveled and seen more of the world than you. And much like you, he puts on a happy face even though he is dying inside during his visit home. With their happy sounding music and often times insight fully sad lyrics, Real Friends becomes that cousin.

3. Overly Political Father - Stray From The Path

With elections happening right before the holidays, politics are often a big topic amongst families and old dad is the biggest fan of political talk. He is loud and abrasive and doesn't care about your beliefs. Nope, you know nothing about politics when dad is involved. To mix things up, he's probably thrown back a few shots of whiskey to fuel his fire and to ensure those red veins pop from his forehead. Stray From The Path fits with dad like turkey and stuffing with their pissed off angry sound and politically fueled lyrics.

4. Cool Aunt - Halsey


She's your mom's younger sister. She's hip, she's happening, and she's the person you call when you're drunk and need a ride home. She's your cool aunt and she's definitely the black sheep in the family. When you wanted to dye your hair blue, she showed up at your doorstep with the supplies and helped you through it. But she had blue hair before it was cool. Just like when everyone was really into Dubstep, she liked it first. Not all of her ideas are the best, but over 90% are so you listen to her advice and knowledge. Being on the up and up puts your aunts match as Halsey. Coming onto the scene with catchy music and different look, she matches your aunt perfectly.

5. Edgy Younger Sister - Attila

Everyone goes through phases. And if you're a 12 year old girl, you've already encountered about one hundred different ones. Your younger sister has now hit her edgy phase, where she has traded out her regular bright clothes for a darker pallet. She now sulks through the house with eyeliner dripping down her cheeks and enough hair spray for two million old ladies. She's got a brand new foul mouth and attitude to match. All of this is a little bit of a front because she secretly still indulges in my little pony and kept her favorite Barbie when she threw all of her toys away. With a front like that, Attila is her match. With their so-called bad attitude and party music, they really just care about what everyone else thinks about them and will crack very easily.

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.
