For those of you who don't know, on Wednesday, November 15th all pop punk emo fans got some very saddening news. After 23 years Warped Tour is coming to an end. Warped Tour founder Kevin Lyman announced on Wednesday that 2018 will be the final year of a full country Warped Tour.

Warped tour was a place where you could go to listen to all your favorite bands, meet some of your icons, and just time to forget whatever was going on in your life and connect with different people all while listening to your favorite music. It was a time for you to experience crowd surfing, though you were petrified that you were going to be dropped any second, and it was a time to watch people in the mosh pit go crazy. Who knows maybe you even dared to jump in and join them.

If you're like me and were really desperate to meet people from your favorite band, but either they didn't have a meet and greet scheduled or their meet and greet was during another show you really wanted to see then you risked it and snuck into the back where all of their trailers were parked after their show. Pictured above is me completely fan girling over Charles Trippy because I will forever be a We The Kings fan until I die. Yes it may not of been completely legal to go back there, but I got to meet Charles and also Derek Sanders from Mayday so I'd say the pros totally outweighed the cons.

If you are a diehard pop punk fan and you've never been to a Warped your, or even if you've experienced Warped before and are an alum, I highly recommend going this summer. From what they have let on it's going to be the best one yet.

All I have left to say is, Van's Warped Tour thank you for giving me one of the best summers of my life. You will be missed. Stay forever warped.

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?

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.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. 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. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
