Yes, yes and yes you should. Here's why:

1. The week before the show will be the BEST ever.

Every time I convinced myself it's okay to spend $25 to go see band I'm not super into anymore, I go on a music binge. For example, in October 2017 I got the chance to see Pierce the Veil. I was a huge fan of them throughout middle school and high school, but I hadn't really listened to them at that year. That is until a week before the show. I was listening to them 24/7 and all my memories of listening to them flooded my mind: when I only listened to Bulletproof Love when dude broke my heart, to when my cousins and I would scream along to King For A Day on the drive home. Reminiscing the good ole days made the show so much better.

2. 14-year-old you would be mad if you didn't.

I don't know about you but growing up going to concerts took so much planning. I had to find a way to earn money so my weeks would be spent washing as many dishes as I could so my mom would THINK about buying me a ticket. So when bands would announce a show out of the blue, I often took the L and couldn't go.

Now, as an 18-year-old with 2 part-time jobs, I have more money, therefore, I can afford to go a show if one happens to come along.

So when I can't decide if it's worth it or not I picture how mad 14-year-old, emo me would be if she heard I skipped out on seeing The Maine in their hometown.

3. Who knows? Maybe you'll fall in love with them all over again.

Call me a dork but music means a lot to me.

When I fall in love with a band that love is forever. But as time goes on and I listen to them less and less, I tend to just forget. But going to a show is like discovering a hidden treasure chest and as the band takes the stage you're flooded with an abundance of old memories.

Your cheeks will blush and your eyes will water as you sing along to the song that got you through the good times and the bad. You might not be a die-hard fan anymore, but you'll remember how much you used to be.

4. Because you should NEVER say no to a good time.

Giphy

I've never had a bad time at a show so I can assure you, you'll have the time of your life.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!
