Tales From The First Time Participant Of A Small Con

Small Con, Big Heart

Tales From The First Time Participant Of A Small Con

Small cons may be tiny in stature, but huge in heart.

Thanks to Odyssey, I got the chance to finally attend a small con, in particular that of the New Jersey Comic Expo. While my experience strongly lays within the expertise of huge cons such as New York Comic Con, I was pleasantly surprised by the beautiful nature of what a small con can offer.

Everything is more personnel, prices are nowhere near the sky rocketed prices big cons offer, and most importantly, you aren't gasping for air and space as you try and navigate the massive amounts of crowds just to walk two steps ahead of you.

In this smaller cons, such as this one, are a breath of fresh air, literally and figuratively.

Navigating myself through the spacious walkways, I was able to fully analyze and enjoy the full nature and joy of the con itself. I was able to talk and actually see each stand, and was able to snag some pretty great Pop! figures at a decent price.

The exhibitors at the Con as well were some of the amazing bunch of people I have had the pleasure of talking to. You can just tell how passionate they are about what they do, and in return make you passionate about the project as well!


(Me and what I call "The Con Crew.")

The real closeness, emotionally speaking, of the con really makes me long for the days when NYCC used to be just as tiny as this one. This isn't saying NYCC isn't amazing on its own, because my god it is, but the feel you get at a tinier con is just something immeasurable in joy that I cannot simply describe it to you in one small article.

If you, like me, have never attended a small con before, I highly suggest it. Check out online all the local cons coming to your area and snag them tickets quick so you may enjoy the magical joy that are cons.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
