We All Want The Same Thing


Rixton Concert

Besides Ed Sheeran I also saw the British boy band Rixton. Since I really love One Direction it wasn't hard to fall in love with Rixton. The night before I saw them they dropped their debut album named Let the Road. I had heard some of their songs before but I never thought I would want to see them live, but once I did they were amazing. They have such a good energy that you can't help but dance. Most of the audience members weren't sure who they were but as soon as they started the audience was having a really good time and enjoying them. Their songs were catchy and had good lyrics and would sometimes mix in other songs. Once they come out with their own tour I would definitely want to see them, they were so fun and charismatic. They were all really talented with the instruments that they play and seemed to have a lot of fun themselves.

Ed Sheeran Concert

Recently, as in last night I went to a Ed Sheeran concert. The red head sang his heart out in an amazing performance. I attended the sold out show at the CMAC in Canandaigua and it was packed. Every single seat in the seating area was sold out including the lawn seats, Upstate New York was obviously very excited to the award winning artist. I've been to a couple concerts and no one had this much raw talent. He made amazing sounds just from hitting his guitar a certain away and he didn't mess up once. During the show he announced that he had been working on a song for about 3 years writing about a sentence a month. Little did the audience know he was actually going to rap. A lot of the audience members were shocked that the singer that normally sang slow love songs could actually have it out in a rap battle. Not only he is an amazing singer but he's super nice. Halfway through a performance a girl, about 16 ran up on stage with a security guard chasing her. Ed stopped the security guard asking if the girl just wanted a selfie, and took a picture. He was very friendly towards the girl asking her name and if she was having fun. The audience was very into the show, singing along, clapping and dancing. I definitely would see him again because he was such a fun performer.

Youtubers I watch

From my last post I was talking about how much I really enjoy YouTube. I thought if you watch YouTube and are looking for new youtubers to watch or if you just thought "Hey let me watch some youtubers."

My first two youtubers are Caspar Lee and Joe Sugg- They are roommates that live in London. Both of their channels are funny, they both go for the challenges and collaborations with other youtubers. They're probably my favorite.
 Caspar's Channel
 Joe's Channel

Zoe Sugg- Zoe's Channel

Alfie Deyes-   Alfie's Channel

Marcus Butler-  Marcus's Channel

Oli White- Oli's Channel

Connor Franta- Connor's Channel

That's all I can think of right now and I can guarantee that I'm forgetting some but you should definitely check these people out! :)

Youtube Going Viral

There is something about teenagers sitting in front of camera's talking and messing around that catches millions of peoples eye. For me, I was just sitting around on watching music videos and I was looking at their make up and I was thinking, wow I wish I could do my make up like that. I was twelve then and thought I could probably pull it off when in fact it would probably look like I got punched in the eye a hundred times. I wanted to learn how to do that, so I had looked up how to do it. That leaded to me watching "Getting Ready in the Morning" Videos. (Stupid, I know) I had heard all my friends talking about it but I didn't think I would really like it. I slowed down with watching the videos. Then, about a year later I started watching them. At first I had no idea why I found them so interesting. It was just people sitting in front of a camera talking. But as you watch these peoples videos you start to get there life stories, I mainly started watching British you tubers and there are a whole group that I watch and they're all best friends. I think there is something interesting about being able to see a glimpse of other peoples lives, most youtubers vlog which consists of them bringing a camera with them and recording what they do all day. I think these are also cool because you can just watch people go throughout their lives but you get to see them in their natural habitat, doing what they normally do even if it's boring.

Girls Vs. Schools

At my school, like most schools there is a strict dress code mostly obtaining to females. This has struck a lot of peoples attention lately including mine. Most of the dress code is there so our bodies won't be distracting but why do girls have to cover themselves and be ashamed because boys can't help but look and stare. Why can't boys be the one that are taught not to look and be distracted because he can see my shoulder. Girls have to be punished because our bodies are so distracting to boys and is disrupting their learning process. So because we show our knees we're to blame for the 60% the boy that sit next us to us got? I get that there should be a certain guideline on how you should dress while you're at school but, why do we have to look like nuns? Recently one school suspended over 50 students, all of them were girls. Girls already have problems with their body and then a teacher or administrator who is supposed to be supportive tells them to cover up their body it doesn't exactly make a girl feel like she is special. I agree that there should be a guideline but I don't think they should be shaming girls bodies. I think girls should be able to show their bodies and be proud of who they are instead of having to cover it so they don't distract boys from their education. Most girls aren't even dressed proactively they're just wearing a crop top a couple inches above their waist or and off the shoulder shirt, none of this stuff is going to make the boys go crazy and flunk all of their exams. No girls body deserves to be shamed because it effects boys studies, this isn't the 1920's where woman had no rights and the men had all the control over what happens. This is 2015 where girls should be able to wear what they want without being shamed.

Top 4 Vacation Spots

In my years of living (which isn't a lot) I have gone on some amazing vacations thanks to my parents. I have had amazing experiences while on all of these vacations and I'm extremely lucky to have been able to go.
This is a really hard list to make considering I've been to amazing places.

1. Provincetown, Cape Cod, Massachusetts- Provincetown is an amazing place and was actually my first vacation. I've been there quite a few times and each time it's nearly impossible to get bored. During the day I would usually go to Herring Cove and it's an amazing beautiful beach. But there is tons of stuff to do there. At night you can go to Commercial St. and go shop and eat out. It's lively and there are so many amazing people. It's definitely my favorite place.
2. Scotland
When I say Scotland I mean Edinburgh and Glasgow because that's where I went. Since my family is from Glasgow that's where I spent most of my time. The people there are unbelievably friendly and helpful. Downtown Glasgow is so nice as well. They have amazing shops like Primark and great food like Greggs. If you're going to Scotland you should definitely make your way to Glasgow. When I went to Edinburgh I went at a perfect time. It was fringe festival and I went to the Royal Edinburgh Tattoo and that was an amazing experience that more people should try. Overall Scotland is amazing and beautiful.
3. Clearwater, FL
The one truly amazing thing about Clearwater is there beaches. If you want a really good beach then Clearwater is definitely a place you'll love. They also have amazing weather and tourist attractions.
4. Toronto, Canada
I might just say that Toronto is one of my Favorite places because I went to an amazing concert there but actually Toronto is a really fun city. There are tons of shops and restaurants. The people there are also very friendly, and just a bit aways is Ikea. :)
