A Letter To My Favorite Band

You are the only exception.

A Letter To My Favorite Band

Dear Paramore,

It all started in the 7th grade. The first song I heard was ‘That’s What You Get’ on Rockband 2 when I was playing with my cousin. I’ve fallen in love with your music ever since. Then, I later learned to play ‘The Only Exception’ on guitar. Til this day, I know it by heart.

The first record I bought was Brand New Eyes a year after that record was released, I believe. The only song I knew was the only exception, and that sort of became my ‘anthem’ in 7th grade. Later on, I eventually listened to the other songs on Brand New Eyes and I would put it on repeat. I discovered a little later on that you had two other records out, so I slowly, but surely bought the other two.

I know every single song of yours by heart.

On November 24th, 2013 my friend Sydney and I went to your concert for the first time. We decided to go to the venue at around 11 am and noon. Before I left, I saw on the news that it was the coldest day of the year, but it was more than worth it to wait seven hours in line to see you live and SO up close. The seven hours consisted of walking to target several times, talking about our favorite songs, and how excited we were for you guys to start the show.

Since you opened with 'Grow Up' I've associated that song with my first time seeing you guys live and I always will.

I remember Sydney and I wearing the exact same shirts and what a thrill it was to finally see you guys live after four years of listening to your music.

On July 11th, 2014, I had another chance to see you live, but this time with my friend Stacia when you guys were on tour with fall out boy. Although I wasn’t as up close, it was still another amazing experience. Fall Out Boy was amazing too.

A lot of my friends know me as the biggest Paramore fan. I know so much about you and my friends know that I could talk about you forever.

I love the quirks, personalities, and facts that I learn about each member. I love seeing the band grow from when I first listened to you. I love how when you play Misery Business live, you invite someone on stage and the stage is theirs. I also love how the fan base is so incredibly supportive and amazing. I’m so glad I’m apart of it. I love everything about you.

Whenever I feel have a bad day or I just want to hear a happy song, your music lightens up my day.

It’s so crazy to think that because I’ve worn a Paramore shirt, I’ve met some of my best friends. It’s a conversation starter and I meet someone who loves them as much as I do or is first discovering who you are.

The next thing on my bucket list is to meet you guys and to go on Parahoy. It’d be so crazy and amazing to talk to you, tell you how much I love you and give you a hug. Going on stage and singing Misery Business with you would also be amazing.

Ok, ok, anything associated with you, my favorite band in the world, would be amazing. Anything as simple as hanging out with you the whole entire day; jamming out, eating, etc.

I love you, Paramore. Thank you for making music and existing

Love,

Your Biggest Fan

Daily Fun Lists

One of the most dreaded places on campus is the library. Nothing awesome ever happens here. Usually, the only reason you're here is because you've procrastinated so long that the library is the only place you'll actually get stuff done. It gives you this feeling of sadness and impending doom. You have no idea how this is going to go or how long you'll be here, but you do know it is about to be the most excruciating experiences yet. But it has to get done, so you drag yourself to the lovely library.

With each new year comes new goals.

Deciding on a goal can be hard, unsure of what to change for this new year. A new goal for myself is to be happier and take care of myself more. I am a very driven person; so driven that I commit to a million and ten things.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.
