A Night on the Town

I didn't do anything fun on campus this week, unless you count eating all the marshmallows from the lucky charms at Conn, which I do. Besides destroying the cereal I went to a show that was absolutely the peek of my month. New haven is an amazing place for a girl like me. Music is my heart and soul quite literally and the reason I came to southern is for the amazing nightlife around the area. For instance there's a little club down the street called toads place, maybe you've heard of it. It entertains the masses with every genre of music having graced its puke stained steps. This past week a few of my friends and I went to see a band called '"The White Panda" which consists of two men I'm assuming of Chinese decent who wear masks and throw down the sickest beats over popular main stream songs you hear on the radio. They aren't very well known but my friends and I have been fans for years. It's a show worth your $30 ($20 with a southern I.D.). I believe the best feeling in the world is when you stand in front of a speaker and feel the vibrations throughout your body, even better when you know every word of every song. I was apprehensive about going considering I had a midterm the next day but I'm so glad I went. I see all my friends ripping their hair out over these exams for one reason or another and it's just depressing. Getting away for the night was more than refreshing for all of us. It's easy to get stuck here and become anxious and depressed over all the new pressures college presents so getting out and exploring new having is something I recommend for everyone. It's not this big bad city that everyone makes it out to be. the occasional homeless person looking for change and car drivers who don't yet understand the function of red lights is about as bad as it gets as long as you're not trooping around the slums alone. A bus pass and some bravery is all you need and the town is your oyster.
