As a huge fan of music, I really like to follow my favorite artists as often as I can, in the hopes that I will eventually meet them, or that my fandom actually means something. Really, I just go to these frequent shows because of my love for music itself.

I recently invested in an app that is linked to my music accounts, that will notify me when my favorite artists are playing in concerts near me (don't download it if you're weak like I am). Of course, I went crazy for this app.

I bought tickets to my favorite groups as far as Frankie Cosmos, No Vacation, SALES, Weezer, and now there was Oh Wonder. I was so excited for this concert, but I didn't want to be there too early. So my boyfriend and I got there like ten minutes beforehand. I think it was for the best, because we couldn't seem to find a decent spot to stand at all. I am really short, and everyone else is really tall compared to me.. so I was having trouble either way. Another note: hats need to be banned from concerts because it only makes it worse for us shorties.

Anyways, the concert opened up with an artist named Sasha Sloan who came from Los Angeles. She was pretty good, but I couldn't understand what she was singing, because her drums were hella loud. She had great energy too, but I felt a little bad since she closed the show with, "Thanks guys! Go buy a CD so my label doesn't drop me!" I was thinking to myself that I would rather listen to her music on Spotify or something of the nature, because I have access to it all through there.

Then they waited another thirty minutes to set up for Oh Wonder... which felt like for-freaking-ever. I was standing there... moving around to find another decent spot.

Thirty minutes later, Oh Wonder comes on the stage! I went crazy! I was so thrilled to be seeing them in concert! They had the coolest light show! They had other band members, also Josephine (the only female in the group) brought her younger brother on the stage and he played saxophone during "Lose It" and OH MY GOD. It was the most surreal musical experience I have ever encountered!

Listening to Josephine and Anthony talk during or between their songs was the cutest and coolest thing ever. Josephine has so much energy, and Anthony had so many jam sessions during the songs. I just couldn't contain my joy, really. I was so happy to be there! I didn't get tired of their energy or music for a single second. I felt SO much energy during their song, "Heavy."

I had waited for a long time for a concert that I could feel the music through me, and I could not have been more impressed. They are such good artists, and they know how to perform well and just put on the best show. I personally think they make the best music live. People were having a good time all over. Everyone's hands were up...everyone was dancing... everyone was cheering. I just hope they enjoyed the energy us Nashville folk gave to them!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. 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.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
