Not A Single Day Goes By Where You Don't Cross My Mind

A Thank You To A R I Z O N A, From The World’s Most Grateful Fan
Alexis Lynch

Last year I stumbled upon a band of the name A R I Z O N A on Spotify. Let me tell you - it was the best stumble I have ever made in my whole life.

Their music is something different from what I've ever heard. It was music I related too, music for every mood I had or was going through. Their music helped me through tons of things that was going on in my life and now I wanted to give them a Thank you from me, or the other fans, to them.

Dave, Nathaniel, Zach, J-Man, and the whole crew,

I want to thank you guys from the bottom of my heart for changing me into a different person from who I used to be. You might never think of it but your music has helped me and probably a good group of your 6,298,240 monthly listeners on Spotify.

The first time I saw you guys was unreal, it was at my first festival GovBall. I didn't expect your music to sound exactly the same live, but guess what? It did.

Out of all the other artists, I have seen in my lifetime (it's only nineteen years so I mean it's not a lot but anyway), A R I Z O N A sounds true to their album tracks. After Govball, I fell even more in love with the thought of your band and your music. I listened to the words deeply and some of those words hit home to me.

This is when I realized Ihad to meet you guys. The first time we met, I was starstruck. Not only was it at a small party for the band, close friends, the media, and the fans but it was also the first night I met you guys.

Outpost changed a lot for me. When meeting all the other celebrities I have met in the past they acted like what you would think celebrities would act like - snobby, rude, just doing it for the money but you guys were completely different.

I was treated like I was a long lost friend of you guys and it made me feel so welcomed into this group.

Not only did I meet you guys at Outpost I happened to meet some of the most amazing people (Catherine, Madison, and Ashley) who I can consider close friends now.

The best night of my life happened on October 11th, 2017, the Philly concert where I bought VIP and just got to really sit down and talk to Zach and Dave (I still wish you were Nathaniel). During this VIP session, we sat down and talked about life and if we enjoyed where we were currently.

Honestly, during this session, I realized that this place in my life where I currently am is Where I Wanna Be. Zach, when you say at every show "If you're not doing what you love with who you love, you are wasting your time." it gave me this Electric Touch. It helped me really realize I'm doing what I love with the people I love so I know I'm not wasting my time.

Let me start by saying Not A Single Day goes by where I don't listen to your music so, Thank all of you for letting me understand that I'm going to go through tough times and I'm going to overcome tough times.

That it's okay to cry sometimes, it's okay to admit that I Was Wrong. You taught me that People doCry Every Night, it might not be me or someone I know but there is always someone out there that was once feeling what I was feeling.

Sure, sad thoughts may Cross My Mind or keep my mind Running but it happens to everyone. I am Brave Enough to get through whatever obstacles is in my way and your music helps me believe that.

No matter if you guys are Oceans Away I will always feel a connection with you and your music so basically what I'm saying is that this girl Ain't Gonna Leave. Once again, thank you. Now I just have one question when Are You going back on tour? Because I need to see you guys again.

Love, A Dedicated Fan.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective.
