2014 Recap

The end of 2014 is bittersweet for me.  On the one hand, I have had so many incredible experiences within the past 12 months, and so many of my best memories were made this year.  On the other hand, I am very excited about the year to come and what 2015 will have in store for me.  I will always look back at 2014 fondly, though.

February 
I got my first and, so far, only tattoo.  I had been bugging my parents about it for months and, finally they gave in.

March

I went to Playlist Live (click here to see my post about that) where I met a ridiculous amount of YouTubers that I love. 

April 

I finally went to New York City, a dream that I've had since I was little.  Times Square, seeing The Phantom of the Opera on Broadway, Central Park, visiting NYU-- the trip was perfect.

May 

May was a busy, but completely amazing month.  I met Matty freakin' Healy from The 1975, and he put my friend and I on the guest list for the concert since we didn't have tickets.  He was perfect.  The show was perfect.  It was all perfect. 

I also graduated college with my AA degree before graduating from my high school a few weeks later.

High School Graduation

June 

In June, my beautiful niece Violet was born, who I flew to Virginia to see (as well as the rest of my family, of course).

August 

The biggest change to happen to me this year was in August, when I started college.  I moved from my home in Miami (where I've lived my entire life) to my university. 

That just about sums up my year!  Well, besides binge watching Gilmore Girls and Once Upon A Time.  I hope everyone else's year was amazing, and I wish all of you the best as we start 2015!  Happy New Year!!

Playlist Live, 4 Months Later

So, this post is about four months late, but I didn't have this blog when it happened so I figured better late than never, right?  Basically, back in March I was lucky enough to go to Playlist Live in Orlando.  I never want to forget that weekend because it was the most incredible time, so I thought writing it all down was the best way to remember it.

So we drove up on Friday and literally as we drove into the parking lot, Dan and Phil were standing there talking to a group of fans.  By the time we got to them, though, they were leaving already.  (This happened to us about four other times that weekend, specifically with Dan and Phil).

Basically, we just walked around the hotel lobby and the pool and outside area on Friday and ended up running into a bunch of people!

I also met Connor Franta and Sawyer Hartman, but I look absolutely horrible in those pictures so I didn't want to post them.

So we woke up early this day to get in line for the Expo Center because we wanted to get into the meet and greet for Marcus, Jim, Joe, Alfie, and Caspar.  We ended up getting into the meetup, but it wasn't really organized very well and our time when meeting them was cut down completely.  We waited until almost everyone had left, though, so we could get a bit more time with them.

They were all sooo sweet and lovely.  And while we were waiting, Caspar looked at us and shook his butt and it was probably the most magical thing that's ever happened to me.  After that, we kind of just walked around and looked for more people (again) and had extremely good luck (again)!

Again, everyone was as nice as could be.  We didn't meet as many people on this day because the meetup took up a lot of time, but it was still an amazing time.

So we were considering going to a meetup on Sunday with Zoe, Louise, and Tanya, but since the meetup on Saturday was unorganized and long, we decided against it.  Instead, we walked around (that really is the best way to meet people) and met people who we honestly didn't think we were going to meet, like Tyler, Troye, Zoe, Louise, and Tanya.  Sadly, we didn't get pics with Louise or Tanya, but Louise talked with us a little bit and gave us candy.  

Troye Sivan (one of the sweetest people I met)

Joe Sugg (again)

Zoe!! (one of the other sweetest people I met)

Alfie (again)

It was one of the most amazing weekends I have ever had, and the entire ride back home my friend and I were so sad that it had to come to an end.  All the youtubers I met were nothing but nice to all their fans.  I cannot even explain how great everyone was, especially Troye and Zoe.  They were such genuine people, and it was obvious they were just as happy to meet their fans as their fans were to meet them.

Have any of you ever met any youtubers?  Let me know!!
