Timeflies is a two-person group that was first formed back in 2010. Rob Resnick produces the beats while Cal is known for his vocals and freestyle skills. They are known for their upbeat, self-wrote songs. The two first met in college at Tufts University in Massachsettes. They then began writing and producing songs from their dorm rooms. Timeflies grew their fan base by creating and posting original mashup covers on YouTube called “Timeflies Tuesday”. Their YouTube channel has grown to have as many as 175 million views. 
You may have heard some of their most popular songs which includes “I Choose You”, “All The Way”, and “Worse Things Than Love”. Their music features in popular films such as “About Last Night”, “My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2”, and “American Idol”. They have also performed on stage on shows such as “Good Morning America” and “Jimmy Kimmel LIVE!”. 
North Dakota State University’s Homecoming will kick off with the annual Homecoming Coronation show on Monday, Oct. 7 at 7:30 p.m. The show will be held at the North Dakota State University Festival Concert Hall.

  1. Very good work, with just a few issues.
    'is said to' isn't really the best way to say that a group is playing something, it makes it sound like maybe they're coming and maybe they'll be on another continent.
    If this isn't on campus, tell us why.
    It's also unclear if they're playing the dance or during the festivities of the week.
    When introducing the band, both members need the same amount of coverage; who is Cal?
    Watch your tenses as well; 'includes' is used for singular things, 'include' should be used when referring to the band's songs.
    When talking about the shows they're played, there's too much filler. "They played on "Show A" and "Show C"." That's all you need.
    It also wouldn't hurt to include a website for the event.
    Good work overall, the issues I'm noticing are becoming smaller with each article.

People involved: 1 st Girl: Black hair light blue eyes Green NDSU scrubs  Big smile  2 nd Girl: Blonde hair  NDSU gold sweatshirt  Where: Starbucks 52 nd Ave.  Large tables in the middle of the room The story: Two girls were sitting at a table inside of Starbucks off of 52 nd Avenue. They were studying and seemed to be biology majors considering the majority of their textbooks were science based. I overheard their conversation about their Christianity. It seemed as though the girl in scrubs was preaching her advice from her own experiences to the girl in the NDSU sweatshirt. The girl in the scrubs was consoling the other girl for maybe drifting away from her Christianity. They talked about how it was okay she lost herself for a moment, but now she needs to put more of an effort into going to her bible study group. This then led to a different conversation consisting of the girl in scrubs showing concern and giving advice towards ...
