Blink-182

The students at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM) and many others were forced to put together the pieces of their memories after the 1968 occupation of UNAM and the Tlatelolco massacre at the Plaza de Tres Culuturas.

Auxilio Lacouture, a fictional character who narrates Amulet, is a woman who remained in the women’s bathroom for thirteen days beginning during the army’s raid at UNAM. As she tells her story, she…

Both my friend Jacqui and I were both just in our dorm rooms at around 10o’clock on a Thursday night, I had just finished homework about to jump into bed. We were just texting back and forth as usual, until we both brought up the Silent Disco that was happening behind the Dance hall. We were curious about the event, and wanted to attend but it seem too late to go because it was just about to end at 11. We went anyways, in the clothes we sleep in. Arriving we had to give them our IDs and grab…

types that appealed to a large audience. Billie Joe Armstrong’s band was very influential to the music industry. A Times UK article states about the American band, “their influence has been all over British carts” and that bands from Sum 41 and Blink 182 had been weaned on Green Day and Billie Joe Armstrong. Armstrong also helped bring renew in interest in punk rock in the U.S. in the 1990s along with The Offspring and Rancid. Billie Joe has sung…

I’ll admit that I have a problem, a band merch problem to be exact. With my second blink-182 shirt being the newest addition to the family, I’m up to twenty-three band tees, along with a flag, a snapback, shorts, a couple vinyl records, and plenty of stickers. The rest of my world, briefly. It’s nothing too thrilling, which has left me plenty of room to make it such. My application shows the academic world I come from. That’s where my achievements are based and where my interest in my major…

In William Shakespeare's tragedy Hamlet, several characters make impulsive decisions and are also immediately taking actions without thinking of the consequences. This allows them to behave irrationally. Each person in Hamlet at some point wants to get revenge on someone. These irrational behaviors move the plot of the play. I personally think that I see a lot more of irrational behavior mostly from Hamlet rather than other characters. It all starts with the ghost Sr. Hamlet. Hamlet constantly…

There are very few artists or groups who get lucky enough to survive the ever changing-musical landscape and manage to carve a career for themselves in the music industry. If they do, it usual comes at a cost. Whether it being the reshuffling of band members, power struggles, the inevitable break up and reunion, Styx just like Journey, Foreigner, Kiss &Van Halen, were no exception to the trials and tribulations of the music business. After 13 years apart, the Chicago-based band's classic lineup…
