Keeping Up with One Direction

On October 31, 2015, One Direction played their final show as a group. It has been ONE FULL YEAR without One Direction.

One Direction played their last show of their fourth world tour, "On The Road Again", in the city of Sheffield in England. After four sold out world tours and four blockbuster albums the band has essentially split and gone their separate ways.

This inevitable breakup began around March 25, 2015 when Zayn Malik left the band. He left during their tour, leaving so many fans upset that they would not be able to see the whole group ever again. Zayn later explained how he needed to leave the band and that he was not into it anymore. He expressed on Twitter how sorry he was and how he still loves his fans.

At this point, One Direction fans were worried about two thing; whether or not Zayn was pursuing a solo career and what the remaining members of One Direction would do for the rest of the tour.

Well both of those questions were answered. Ironically, Zayn released his first solo album, "Mind of Mine" on March 25, 2016, exactly one year after leaving One Direction. But as for the rest of the boys, they made sure that they continued the tour and gave fans the best experience.

Once the tour had ended, fans were sad but then were filled with joy when realizing there was still one album left for One Direction to release. "Made in the A.M."

One Direction had released their first single without Zayn, "Drag Me Down," on July 31, 2015 which was a smashing hit. It was on every radio station across the country. But after this song fans could sense some tension between the band and former bandmate, Zayn.

This new song was a tease at the new album they would release in November 2015. Fans went crazy during the release of "Made in the A.M." and the boys were so excited by how beloved their new album was. But the joy, quickly went away as fans began to realize that there would be no tour following this album.

Many music videos were released for songs like "Drag Me Down," "Perfect," and "History."

When they released the video for "History" fans knew that this was the end. The boys went their separate ways, hoping to pursue individual careers.

In the past year, there has been much drama surrounding these boys, even Zayn. Harry Styles acted in a movie and was seen dating Kendall Jenner, Louis Tomlinson had a baby with his former girlfriend Brianna Jungwirth, Liam Payne has been hiding in the shadows, and Niall Horan has been hitting up golf courses, soccer fields, and writing his own knew music. He released his first solo single "This Town" recently, which fans love. Lastly, Zayn has been engaged, then not engaged to Perrie Edwards and then now he is dating a supermodel, Gigi Hadid.

A lot has happened since the last time One Direction performed in front of their fans and many fans miss their favorite boys and hope that sometime soon they will reunite and maybe play another show.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
