Camila Cabello Meets Hundreds of Fans For Album Promotion

Camila Cabello (pronounced Ca-MEE-la Cabe-YO) visits FYE at the Hanover Mall, Sunday, December 10th, 2017 for a meet and greet photo shoot. The event was held to promote the upcoming release of her debut album, “Camila”, out on January 12th, 2018, following the year departure from her former group “Fifth Harmony.”

The meet and greet took place from 2pm to 4pm where fans started lining up at 10am for check-in. Cabello met around 320 fans and took a photo with all of them. The 20-year old singer arrived 20 minutes late, though when she finally arrived the mall went from quiet to wild in a matter of seconds. As soon as everyone saw her in the flesh, the area was filled with screams and hands filled with phones quickly went up in attempts of recording and taking photos. Cabello danced over, smiling, and blowing kisses to her fans as she arrived.

A professional photographer was in attendance for taking the pictures and the backdrop was a blow out picture of Cabello’s album cover. Fans noted how considerate the starlet was when she declined the chair that was given to her because she wanted to stand with the fans and not sit during the pictures. She has a reputation for being extremely caring and kind towards her fans, often calling them her friends.

Cabello was dressed in black leather pants, black heeled boots, a black hat, and a black and gray-striped long-sleeved shirt that had little black furry pom-poms on her hands, obviously showing that the Cuban, Miami-native is not used to the Boston snow weather.

For the first hour and a half, the lines seemed to never move. At the front, there were ropes of three lines then the line went all the way down the hall and looped around. It seemed like fans were standing forever, however they had the company of their friends and family to keep them entertained before it was their turn to meet Cabello.

Cabello took her time greeting and talking to her fans, one by one. Around 3:20, Cabello left to take a 10-minute break because her strong need to sit down. During the break, workers came around and told fans that the rest would have to take a group photo due to time restraints. Cabello needed to leave at 4pm due to a concert later on in the evening.

The starlet came back at 3:35 but at that point, the rest of the meet and greet was rushed. Cabello also denied having the rest of the fans take group photos and made sure to take an individual photo with the rest because of how important it was to both her and the fans.

Eventually, it was my turn to meet her, in which we exchanged hugs and got our picture taken. This being my 4th artist meet and greet, I noticed that the main difference with this one was the fact that there weren’t security guards rushing fans or pulling anyone away. Everything was taken in a caring and considerate manner. Even though as time was close to running out and everyone was still rushing, they all worked in a caring way to make sure everyone was still acknowledged.

Cabello’s manager, Roger Gold, and her mother Sinu Cabello were both in attendance. I had the opportunity to briefly speak to her mother and deliver a letter for her daughter, which she kindly took.

This is Cabello’s second time doing a meet and greet at the Hanover Mall. Back in January 2015, she visited with her former band “Fifth Harmony” where they instead signed autographs. Cabello departed from the group on December 19th, 2016 and has been working on her first album for the entirety of the current year.

This was Cabello’s first meet and greet as a solo artist and she is scheduled to have another one on December 16th, 2017 in Tampa, Florida. She later traveled up to Boston for the Jingle Ball Concert where she had another meet and greet that was sponsored by iHeart Radio’s contest. Later that night, she performed her singles “Havana”, “Never Be The Same”, along with others.

Four days ago, “Never Be The Same” was number 3 on the iTunes chart and “Havana” was number 4. These are her highest listing songs as a solo artist. Fans and maybe even people who aren’t officially her fans are awaiting the release of her debut album. Especially after all the drama that was created after her departure from the group. Many people are curious to see how well she’ll succeed but her fan base is very dedicated and supports her through everything. We can expect Cabello to have a very successful release day on January 12th, when her self-titled album is finally out.

College Series Post #4 - Classes & Semester Tips/Advice

It is the day before Labor Day which means for most students, myself included, it is officially the first week of classes! How exciting, right?! College is an important chapter in our lives and as always, we want to do our best and succeed. People say that college classes are more difficult than high school classes, which can be true, but don’t let that scare you into thinking you can’t pass and have a successful semester. Whether you’re a fresh, new student starting your first year ever or you’re returning for your sophomore, junior, and senior year, these tips and pieces of advice will help you have a smooth first week and first semester. Keep on reading!

First Day of Classes

So it’s the first day of classes and you’re probably thinking “omg what do I bring to classes?!” Here’s the first answer: confidence. It is natural to be scared and nervous but don’t let that ruin your experience because there are so many other people who are feeling the exact way. If you calm down and tell yourself that you’re not alone, it’ll be okay if you get confused or lost, or that you will have a great start to the year, and that you’ll be a badass student it’ll help make you feel more confident about walking onto that campus.

Now, here are the real material things you should bring to classes: pencils or pens, a notebook, a folder, printed syllabuses if your professor emailed them to you early (I know professors hand these out on the first day, but sometimes they miscount and run out of copies plus it’s good to be prepared), any assignments or books (some professors do email you days earlier requiring this), water, and a snack.

It’s as simple as that

When you get to class, try to sit in the front or the middle. I prefer to sit in the middle, close-ish to the front due to my poor vision and also because I don’t like to feel like the entire class is watching me if I’m directly sitting up front. Sitting on the end seats or along the sides are really nice because you might be lucky and score a seat next to an outlet, you feel less crowded, and it’s easier to collect your things and leave class sooner rather than having to wait for the group of people surrounding you in the middle.

Some people might already have their books in the first class, don’t feel bad or nervous if you don’t. Some people just like to get a head start. The first class you’ll get your syllabus that your professor will go over. Pay attention to it because that’s what contains all of your assignments, tests/quizzes, and due dates. It’ll also give you a feel of the class workload. After that, your professor will tell you if you’ll need the book or not, then you’ll do introductions, and depending on the professor you’ll either get to leave or you’ll start to work on the first lecture.

Also, don’t feel bad if you arrive late to a class. Professors understand you’re just trying to find new rooms; sometimes even the professors are late.

It’s okay to not make friends on the first day. You have the entire semester to do that! Don’t feel pressured to rush into any friendships. So when you go to lunch and you don’t have a lunch buddy yet, that’s completely okay. No one cares if you go to lunch alone. Everyone is independent in college and you don’t need someone to go everywhere with you. Embrace being alone! It’s quite nice, actually. However, if you being seen eating alone does make you nervous, try going to smaller cafes with fewer people or eat your lunch outside on the grass or a bench. Maybe even try sitting at a table that’s next to a wall or close to the corner so you’re less “visible.” Or better yet, just plug in your headphones and watch YouTube videos while you eat because that will distract you from thinking about attracting attention.

Now fast forward a few hours: you have just finished classes. Take this time to determine if you’re going to drop a class or not. I would recommend only doing this if you have a really full semester and you can tell the workload will be high, you found the same class but at a better time, or it’s a class you really don’t need. Then check your class registration portal because a lot of students drop and switch classes on the first day so if there is any class you were hoping for an opening in, you may be in luck! Or you may be helping another student trying to get into a class. After you do that and officially finalize your schedule, go to the book store and pick up any books and materials that you’ll need. Remember: try to rent if you can.

Then after all of that, when you leave to do whatever, treat yourself for getting through your first day of classes!

Note: I originally mentioned that I was going to give tips and advice for the first day of classes and more, but my advice for just the first day was longer than expected so the others will be in another post. Keep an eye out!

College Series #1 - Packing

Dorm Room Packing

If you’re living on campus, then you must prepare for dorm room living. Living in dorms can be exciting because you’re living on your own and you have access to friends, RA’s, and other campus things. The downfall is last dorm rooms have limited space and only supply the beds, desks, dressers, and a closet. So you’ll need to practice the art of not taking everything with you and to fit your room into a few suitcases and storage bins. Here’s a breakdown of the ultimate dorm room packing list:

Bedding

·         Full Bed Set (Twin XL)

·         Mattress Pad (Highly recommended, unless you can handle sleeping on a somewhat stiff bed)

·         Standard Pillows

·         Back Pillow (Extremely useful since dorm beds don’t have headboards)

·         Spare Blanket

·         Extra Sheets

Kitchenware

·         Tupperware (technically, you could sneak out some food from the dining hall and save the leftovers)

·         Plastic Plates (you’re going to want to cook food in your room and eat it there)

·         Plastic Utensils

·         Water Bottle

·         Keurig

·         Mini Fridge (unless your dorm hall lets you rent them)

·         Microwave (again, unless your dorm hall lets you rent them)

Storage

·         Hangers

·         Shoe Rack

·         Storage Bin

·         Basket for toiletries

·         Shower Caddy

·         Makeup Holder

·         Bag/Basket for medications

Clothing

·         Rain Jacket

·         Rain Boots

·         Snow Boots

·         Winter Coat

·         Fall Coat

·         Long-Sleeve Shirts

·         Short-Sleeve Shirts (enough shirts to last a few weeks before laundry but not a lot because of limited space)

·         Jeans

·         Shorts

·         Pajamas

·         Undergarments

·         Sweaters

·         Exercise Clothing

·         Dresses

·         Dress-Up Clothes (in case of possible interviewers during the semesters)

·         Going Out Clothes

Décor

·        Wall Art/Posters

·        Desk Lamp

·        Floor rug

·        Command Strips & Hooks

Toiletries

·        Body Wash

·        Shampoo and Conditioner

·        Facial Care

·        Hair Care & Supplies

·        Toothbrush

·        Toothpaste

·        Toothbrush Holder

·        Mouthwash

·        Deodorant

·        Perfume/Cologne

·        Makeup

Miscellaneous

·        TV

·        DVD Player (negotiate both with your roommate(s)

·        DVDS

·        Laptop & Supplies

·        Extra Chargers

·        Headphones

·        Fan

·        Printer (negotiate with your roommate (s)

·        Batteries

·        Umbrella

·        Lanyard & Keychain

·        Trash Bin

·        Broom

·        Lysol/Clorox Wipes

·        Hand Sanitizer

·        Jewelry Holder

·        Step Stool (for bed)

·        Bed Risers

College Series #2 - Supply List

College Supply List

So you’ve bought all you needed for your dorm room, now all you need to do is gather some supplies for classes and studying. When it comes to supplies, it’s pretty much to each their own because not everyone feels that they need all the same stuff; some need more while some only want less.

Books

You’re going to need textbooks, depending on your class but here’s the major tip: DO NOT BUY ANY BOOKS UNTIL YOUR PROFESSOR CONFIRMS THAT YOU’LL ACTUALLY NEED THEM. Some Professors on the first day will tell you if you’ll need the book or not or how much you’ll actually use them. You’ll save yourself the struggle and money if you just wait. But of course there’s always that one professor who will email you a few days before telling you you’ll need it for the first day so there’s your exception. Once you figure out the book situation, just know that renting is the cheapest option unless for some reason you have to buy the book. If you do rent, only rent from the bookstore as a last resort. Check out Amazon Book Rentals, Chegg Books, or Campus Book Rentals.

Also know that if you need a book that requires an online code for homework, you’ll have no choice but to buy the new book because if you rent a book that’s supposed to have a code, you won’t be able to use an already used code. Therefore, you’ll have to rent the book and then buy the code separately and they do not come cheap. I once rented an algebra for around $50 but had to buy the code for $90, and it was because I didn’t know about all the above. So yourself the struggle.

Other Supplies

Now that we’ve gotten the most important supply out of the way, the rest self-explanatory:

·         Folder

·         Binder (You’ll get lots of handouts from classes and it’s important to save them)

·         Planner* (The most important supply after books)

·         Tab Dividers

·         Notebooks (Some like having one 5-subject for all classes and some like individual notebooks for each class)

·         Pencils

·         Pens (Aim for multi-colored ones as well)

·         Highlighters

·         Sharpies

·         White-Out (If you write in pen a lot, you’ll need this)

·         Sticky Notes (This can be used to make mental notes or to annotate while reading)

·         Index Cards (To help study of course)

·         Paper Clips

·         Stapler (Don’t be that kid who tries to pass in essays without it stapled. Most classrooms and professors don’t have staplers)

·         Printer Paper

·         Ink

·         Calculator (Scientific if you’re taking a math or chemistry class)

·         Flash Drive

·         Dry Erase Markers

Other

·         Lanyard

·         White Board Calendar

College Series #3 - Roommates

College Roommates

College is slowly approaching and for some people you’ll be returning to your second home and for others you’ll be moving into your new home for 4 years. Exciting, isn’t it? While you’re preparing yourself for the first week, classes, and dorm room packing, there’s also another important thing you should be prepared for: roommates. Also known as the person or people you’ll be living with for the next year or so.

Some people have amazing roommate experiences and are lucky enough to become best friends, and others have mediocre or not-so-great experiences. For some, you’ll be moving back in with roommates and for others it’ll be your first time. So whether you’re a freshman or maybe a sophomore or junior, here are some pieces of advice to help you live with a roommate.

1. Learn about each other and your habits. Everyone lives differently. Everyone has different ways of doing things and everyone has different preferences. Have a talk with your roommates and learn each other’s study habits, sleeping preferences (like if they need a nightlight or a fan on, etc) and each other’s schedules. The more you know each other’s routines and habits, the less conflicts they’ll be. Which leads to number 2… 2. Be respectful and considerate. If you have a 9am class and your roommate doesn’t have a class until 12, try to be considerate and don’t make a lot of noise or shine the light while getting ready. Also, if you know your roommate has a test or assignment due the next day and needs quiet time to study, don’t be obnoxious and bring friends over or don’t blast your music. 3. Respect each other’s things and space. Don’t eat your roommates food unless you ask, don’t take any of their stuff unless you ask, and don’t leave your things on their side. 4. Keep your room clean. The cleaner your room is, the easier it is to live in it. Maybe once a week tidy up your spaces, sweep the floors, wipe down everything you both touch with Clorox wipes (seriously). I knew a friend who’s roommate was extremely messy and just being in their room was overwhelming and I didn’t even live with them. Just keep up with the cleaning. 5. Compromise and sort out any differences. Nothing is perfect. At some point there’s going to be something you or your roommate is doing that’s going to cause a little issue. Don’t stay quiet about it, talk about it sooner rather than later so that tension doesn’t grow and you won’t resent each other. 6. Be friendly. You don’t have to be the best of friends with your roommate, not everyone vibes the same way or really has that great connection and that’s okay. You can still be friendly with each other and go out to lunch or maybe study together every once in a while. Stay on good terms. But sometimes there may be differences you can’t sort out or you just can’t get along, and if that’s the case then talk to your RA and they can help and you can possibly change rooms.

Roommates are essential not just for space or financial purposes, but because you’ll always have someone. They’ll be your first friend, maybe your closest friend, and they’ll be the next person besides your family to know your living habits. It’s fun to share college with someone. Just know that whenever you look back to your college years, your roommates are always going to be in your memories.
