There is one thing my roommate Paige and I have always known we have in common, music. That’s why when we heard our favorite band, Forever the Sickest Kids, was playing in Salt Lake City last March we jumped at the chance to take the 12-hour roadtrip there. It seemed like the only logical thing to do for spring break. Work on our tan? Sit under a palm tree? No, we were going to mosh at a concert. It was my first time seeing Forever Sickest Kids in concert and Paige’s fifth. I felt like Paige, being the more experienced concert goer, was taking me on a whirl-wind music romance! That roadtrip continues to be one of the best memories I have in Alpha Xi Delta and it was not something we were willing to let go of so quickly. This summer, Paige and I decided to semi-recreate our Salt Lake roadtrip and take the 8-hour Denver roadtrip to see Forever the Sickest Kids again. After our drive to Salt Lake, Denver felt like we were driving just around the block. With double shots of coffee in hand at 6am we began our Forever the Sickest Kids Roadtrip Part II, making it to Denver that afternoon. We spent that night yelling every lyric at the top of our lungs at their outdoor concert. It’s always a great feeling to know Paige will always be there to take on those crazy adventures with me. There is one thing Paige and I will never argue over and that is what music playlist to jam to every morning. I feel so lucky to have found a music twin, a friend, and a sister in Paige.
Xi Love,
Caroline Pugh
