Care for a bit of commentary on what’s new in the world of Miley Cyrus? But of course you do! It is becoming impossible to avoid hearing about the girl since she has taken the world of young, mislead girls that shout out “YOLO” followed by a quaint giggle because they find the slogan so meaningful, by storm.

A loyal following of Choi’s fans from all across Wisconsin gathered in the Den, making the night one of the most popular musical events this semester. Before Choi took the stage, a group of local artists performed to warm up the crowd; many of the local artists were singers, but one dance group executed a routine that got the crowd moving. After the local artists section of the night was completed, the man of the hour stepped on stage, causing the crowd who had been anxiously awaiting his performance to burst into a cheer that was loud enough to cover up the sounds of the unfortunate vaccuming upstairs.
