Earlier this month I got the pleasure of camping at Lodi's very own, Yogi Bear's Campground. All places have their pros and their cons, Yogi Bear's was no exception. In some areas, they exceeded all of my expectations but in others, they fell way short. So here are my pros and cons for if you decide to take a trip to Jellystone Park. PROS: - The entire site is HUGE. It takes around twenty minutes just to walk from one side to another. In fact, they provide rentable golf carts and bikes just for getting around. You could barely walk five feet without being passed by someone on a scooter or bike. - The campsites are grass instead of dirt, which saved our feet from becoming too dirty. It was enjoyable to be able to put our bare feet onto the ground and not become encased in a layer of dirt and grime. - There is a lot of different activities for your little ones to do. Every hour (starting at 10 am) is a craft or activity in the Pavilion. Along with that, there are ...

Earlier today alternative rock band, Twenty One Pilots dropped their newest music video for their song, ' The Hype.' The video begins with the band once again performing in their living room. As the shot zooms out we can see a small crowd of people, not really paying much attention to the duo. As the video progresses we get to see more and more people fall in love with the band, until everything begins to fall apart around them, forcing Tyler Joseph and Josh Dun to pick up the pieces of their lives around them. The video represents their fear of buying into the hype around the band and then losing everything. At the end of the video, we get to see Dun hand Joseph a Capri Sun which is a tie-in to their hit, 'Stressed Out.' The video so far has been loved and adored by fans.

British punk-rock band, Bring Me The Horizon released the highly anticipated music video for their song, ' Sugar Honey Ice And Tea'  earlier today. Having been a fan favorite from their most recent album, 'AMO' it was no surprise that this was the next music video that the group chose to put out. The video itself has been extremely well perceived by fans so far. There is really no way to perfectly describe or sum up this video, other than it's weird on literal steroids. It was a wacky, crazy, and fun way to start off a Friday morning. Along with the release of the music video, the band has also been teasing a collaboration with singer, Halsey and their social media accounts. It is currently unknown when the suspected track will drop, although it is expected to be soon. 'Sugar Honey Ice And Tea' music video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-iM83TiKdY0

Mental health is a huge issue in the United States and continues to grow worse with each passing month. Anxiety disorders (panic disorder, O.C.D., post-traumatic stress disorder, and phobias), depression, bipolar disorder, eating disorders, personality disorders, and psychotic disorders plague the lives of 1 in every 5 adults in America. Mental health disorders are mainly caused by biological factors (genes, physical illness, injury, or brain chemistry), life experiences, and family history of mental health problems. 1 in 100 (2.4 million) adults lives with schizophrenia. 2.6% (6.1 million) adults live with bipolar disorder. 6.9% (16 million) adults live with major depression. 18.1% (42 million) adults live with a form of an anxiety disorder.

In 2017 alone 47,173 Americans committed suicide and 1,400,000 attempted to...

American rock band, Badflower recently released their fourth music video from their album, ' OK, I'M SICK ' for the song ' Promise Me .' The video came out on June 13, 2019, and has gathered 554,837 views on Youtube at the time of this article. Being their newest video, I decided to go ahead and give it my honest review. The video will be linked at the end of the article. The video tells the story of two lovers growing old together. It is a beautiful sentiment that the band handles well. We see it start out with the couple as children when they first meet each other in a hospital. They lighten the dark and gloomy mood of their location with childhood innocence and playfulness. This plays a huge part in the overall theme of the song and the video, which is living in denial of growing old. The next scene cuts forward to when the duo are young adults, in a bar. The characters still maintain the same innocence as their children counterparts, further i...
