The Literal Tease Of My Chemical Romance.

The Literal Tease Of My Chemical Romance.
ETOnline

Devastation is the only word that can describe what the entire former emo realm of the music scene feels.

July 20, 2016, the former emo/punk band, My Chemical Romance (MCR), posted a mysterious video to their social media pages. A video that was nothing but a flag depicting a calligraphic 'X' flying to an instrumental piano rendition of "Welcome to the Black Parade," one of MCR's most popular songs.

At the end of the less than a minute long video, the date 09/23/16 flashed upon the screen. This ignited the dormant fanbase, thus causing an explosion in the music industry. Fans, other bands/singers/song writers/musicians in general, record companies and especially the musical media were all wondering the same thing: what the hell is MCR planning and when can we learn more?

Everyone was expecting one (or both) of two things: 1) a reunion tour or 2) they're bringing the band back together and producing a new album on the depicted date. Positive vibes were the only thing felt from these posts and everyone was already breaking out the extreme eyeliner and getting ready to launch back to the emo days. Literally nobody expected the curve ball that MCR finally dropped the following day, July 22, 2016.

"We've been really touched and blown away by the response to the teaser trailer. We are not touring and there is no reunion planned - only a release for the anniversary of [the album] "The Black Parade." Thanks so much for continuing to keep MCR in your minds and in your hearts." - as said by My Chemical Romance via their official Facebook page.

Sorry folks, all we get is a re-release of "The Black Parade" for its 10-year anniversary. No tour. No reunion. Just a disappointment via none other than a teaser video.

It also didn't help that this is what's seen on their website:

But apparently this screen has been up even since the band's break-up in 2013, as stated by Rock Sound TV. But to anyone who hasn't been checking the site, it would seem like encouragement for a reunion tour.

We all honestly should not have gotten our hopes up since everyone who was formerly in the band are all doing their own separate things now, so truthfully, it wasn't too bright to jump the ball so quickly. But I can't help but feel disappointed; MCR was such a fantastic band who produced so many amazing songs that are still popular and relevant today.

No hate to the former band members what-so-ever, they did what they felt they needed to do. But still, come on guys, you could have given us a little 10th anniversary of "The Black Parade" tour for old time's sake.

But despite this minor fumble that broke social media, we'll carry on. Because, no matter what, even though the band MCR is gone, your memory will carry on.

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.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.

All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
