A few years ago for one of my english classes at school I had to write an essay on a social issue and I chose sexism in music. I chose that because it’s a major issue that should be changed and it’s something that people need to pay way more attention to. In that essay, I wrote about this non-profit called Girls Behind The Rock Show. Well, now their trying to change the music industry and I’m stoked.

GBTRS partnered with Girls Against from the U.K. are currently running a campaign that started on Sunday Jan. 1 to get an award for women in music. They want recognition for women in the mainstream world of music as well as the punk rock/ alternative world as well as women behind the scenes in the industry. The campaign is aimed at NME, Kerrang! and Alternative Press and the goal is to get them to add a women in music award to their award categories. It’s a seriously good idea.

In order for this to happen though they need help, GBTRS is a small non-profit and in order to get people’s attention, people need to blast this everywhere. It would really help them out and you would be apart of the change, which is pretty important. If you decide you want to contribute to this change, there are some simple things you can do, retweet the pinned post on their twitter. Post the video on your Facebook and Instagram. When you’ve done that, tell all your friends to do it too. Essentially you want to plaster the inter world with this. When you post these tag your favorite female musician.

Bands like Paramore, Tonight Alive, The Pretty Reckless and artists like Lights, Tay Jardine, Lady Gaga and like a billion more all sing like beasts. But they often get overlooked because they just aren't that popular or aren’t considered to be the cool thing. Women that work behind the scenes do so much work to help get your favorite bands music get out to the world. These people deserve to be recognized and rewarded for what they do to contribute to the music world.

Girls Behind The Rock Show and Girls Against are creating something that will create change in an industry that has long been ruled by dudes. Help get this out to the world and help create the change for future musicians of the world.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
