Meet Keleigh Grosso, Social Media Marketing Specialist - Instagram


Tell our readers a little bit about yourself. We want to get to know you better!
Well, I'm 22 years old and I've been writing since the first grade. I mostly write within the horror/paranormal genre but I've also been dabbling in romance and thriller. A lot of my pieces I've written are based or loosely based on real life experiences that I've been through, which I think it make it more personal and interesting. My biggest inspiration to pursue writing is my 11 year old niece and my four year old sister. They keep me motivated even when I'm at my lowest points.

What’s it been like volunteering for Rock & Roll Saved My Soul? What is your favorite thing about it?
It's been amazing volunteering with Rock and Roll Saved My Soul! My favorite thing about volunteering with RRSMS is getting to connect with other people and organizations that share the same passion and love of writing that I have.

What made you want to join the Rock & Roll Saved My Soul team?
I wanted to be a part of something bigger than myself. I saw an opportunity to work with a group of people, who like myself, wanted to share their love of writing with the world and at the same time, spread awareness for certain issues like domestic abuse and bullying, and I took it. I'm so happy I did.

Who are some of your favorite bands?  Favorite album(s)/song(s)?
At this time, Pentatonix is at the top of my list. Pentatonix is an a capella group that won season 3 of The Sing-off. Two of my favorite songs from Pentatonix are "Water" and "Sing". Also, I've been listening to Shawn Mendes recently and his song "Life of the Party" is my cheer up song.

If you’ve been to a concert, which was the most memorable? Feel free to share any stories with us!
My most memorable concert experience was when I got into interview Chad Kowal and Robby Creasey of Farewell, My Love for my high school senior project called "Music Saves Lives". It was funny because when my friend and I first got to the venue, we weren't sure how or where it was going to happen. Eventually, the tour manager texted Robby and told him that my friend and I were there and he and Chad came out to talk to us. We waited until after their set and then tried to find a place for the interview. At first, we were going to do it back stage but my friend and I were just one year short of being old enough to go back stage, so Robby and Chad began joking that we could do the interview in the girls bathroom. Finally, because it was too noisy in the venue, we ended up doing the interview in front of the venue. Robby and Chad were such kind and sincere guys and they were constantly making my friend and I  laugh! That was the best concert memory I've ever had!

Also, before the concert, my friend and I made huge gold, heart shaped cookies for each guy in Farewell, My Love, and after the show when I went to tell Chad goodbye, he told me a fan he had met earlier in the night had asked him for the cookie and she freaked out when he gave it to her. He asked me if I was mad, which of course I wasn't. I was actually very flattered. :)

If you could go on tour with one band for a month, which band would you choose and why?
Oh, man. This is such a hard question. If I had to choose, I guess I would pick either Pentatonix or Mariana's Trench. Both bands are so fun and high energy, I think it would be a blast to tour with one of them!

Are you a writer or musician? What genre? Where can we find out more about your writing or music?
I am a horror writer and slam poet. I'm on Facebook under Writingthroughmyeyes, or my website. My website is where I post all my pieces of writing.

Anything you’d like to add?
I just want to thank Kate for adding me to the RRSMS family. I finally fell like I've found somewhere I belong.

Drug Use in High School and College

Image
Drug use and experimentation tend to proliferate on college campuses. For those who can afford this experience, campuses are often a sanctuary for drug use. In high school, drinking alcohol was my only experience with substance use. Right before college, I was required to partake in an online program about alcohol – one that demonstrated how to minimize harms associated with drinking, such as not drinking if you are planning on driving, staying well hydrated, eating before you drink, knowing how many alcoholic beverages you’ve had, or spacing out the drinks you are already consuming. These strategies help to keep people safe and prevent deaths, and are referred to as harm reduction. In my freshman year, I found myself in a position where drugs of all kinds were almost literally falling into my lap. How did this happen? I was encountering drugs I had never even heard of left and right, and with the emergence of online drug markets, it could be as easy as shopping on Amazon. I

National Aunt and Uncle Day

Image
National Aunt and Uncle’s Day on July 26th honors a special set of relatives we look up to throughout our lives. During holidays, family events and sometimes sleepovers, aunts and uncles often hold an extraordinary place in our hearts. They fill our lives with fun, laughter, love and incredible memories.   This holiday provides an opportunity to spend time with our parents’ siblings we trusted and leaned on growing up.  It would be an excellent time to get out the old photo albums. Look through the pictures, and relive the memories of earlier days around the Christmas tree or at the 4th of July picnic or maybe at the beach vacation that included those special aunts and uncles in your life. Get together with your relatives and create new memories. Remind them of all the reasons you enjoy having them in your life. Celebrate the lessons they’ve taught you and share them with the next generation.  Another way to celebrate the day is by documenting family memories and history.
