Over and Out: ELO’s Farewell Tour
On Wednesday, October 23 I attended Jeff Lynne’s Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) farewell tour in Sacramento, California. The concert took place at Golden 1 Center and was a sold-out show. Although I am a big fan of ELO, I originally had not planned to go. I went to the box office less than half an hour before the show started, and my friend and I were lucky enough to snag a really good deal on tickets.

It’s Time To Change Children’s Literature
Growing up, my nose was always buried in a book. Reading was my escape, my bridge to other worlds. Unlike today’s generation of iPad kids and endless scrolling on social media, books were my go-to distraction. They offered a sense of adventure and wonder that, in my opinion, no screen could match.

In today’s episode of The 1% Flow, we dived into a topic that resonates with everyone: commitment versus consistency. These two concepts are often talked about together, but they’re not the same thing. Commitment is the decision you make when you say, “I’m going to do this.” But consistency? That’s the action of doing it every day, regardless of how you feel or what obstacles come your way.
Liam Payne’s Passing: A Heartbreaking Loss for Fans and Loved Ones
I’ve been a One Direction fan for as long as I can remember. From the moment I was 12, I had everything One Direction—posters covering my walls, CDs playing on repeat, pillows and blankets that made me feel closer to them. They were the first band I was truly obsessed with. Their songs were the soundtrack to my teenage years, and Liam Payne was always a central part of that magic. So when I heard the news of his passing, it felt like a punch to the gut.
