Spring 2023, my first year taking college in-person, me and a group of good friends went to see Bangor’s own indie band Milk St and Michigan folk-punk group RENT STRIKE, at a small concert venue in the Bangor Arts Exchange. The music was fantastic, the crowd’s energy was infectious, and the pit was insane. The whole experience reenforced my love for live music, and all of us went back to our residence hall with huge smiles on our faces. We were lucky to see those bands when we did; the venue closed permanently only a year later.<\/p>\n

When I stepped into Lord Hall’s art gallery for the first time, with all those beautiful paintings and prints lining the walls and the sculptures perched proudly on stands, I knew I wanted to have my own art in there. I jumped at the opportunity in 2024, and submitted a painting from one of my classes – a remake of Alice Neel’s portrait of activist-teacher-author Harold Cruse, done in acrylic paint. The painting made it in, and I was psyched to see it on the wall, and just as excited to see what everyone else had made as well. My dad’s and stepmom’s smiles when they came to see the exhibition meant everything to me.<\/p>\n

My dad and stepmom took me and my siblings to Boston in late October, 2022 so we could see an AWOLNATION concert. It was our first taste of the big city, and we loved it. The concert at the House of Blues was fun and gave us a sneak peek at upcoming music from the artist, and we also had a blast at the New England Aquarium, looking at all the different marine animals. We also got to eat some delicious stir fry at the Quincy Market, watch an acrobatics performance, and stop at It’sugar for something sweet (their mango mochi is the best). There was not a single moment when we were bored. I want to make it a point to visit Boston again, because it was such a blast.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
