Meet Jen Robbins, Co-Founder


Tell our readers a little bit about yourself. We want to get to know you better!
I'm a single mother of a amazing little man, who is my world. I'm dating a friend of mine that I've know for 16 years and is now my best friend. I love all kinds of music. It's a huge part of my life.

What’s it been like volunteering for Rock & Roll Saved My Soul? What is your favorite thing about it?
It's been amazing sharing and spreading the love of music to others and giving back to the local music community.

What made you want to join the Rock & Roll Saved My Soul team?
RRSMS is a great cause to get involved with. My sister, Kate (founder of RRSMS) inspired me to want to give back to the community through something that has touched my life in so many ways.

Who are some of your favorite bands?  Favorite album(s)/song(s)?
Slipknot, Mushroomhead, Lennon, Less Than Jake, Nightwish, and Alanis Morissette, especially Jagged Little Pill. 

If you’ve been to a concert, which was the most memorable? Feel free to share any stories with us!
The Less Than Jake show I went to with my sister and grandma.It was actually one of the stories I submitted for Volume One. 

If you could go on tour with one band for a month, which band would you choose and why?
I'd like it to be Slipknot. I haven't gotten a chance to see them live yet, but think it'd be an unforgettable month. It would be unbelievable. 

Are you a writer or musician? What genre? Where can we find out more about your writing or music? 
I am a writer, photographer, editor, and artist. You can find out more about me via my Facebook page.

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 me...
