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.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
