Without Twilight (BEDA Day 3)

I really don't have time to write this post, but I have to, because I won't have access to a computer again until tomorrow morning.

I am going to begin this post with a little story:

I began reading the Twilight Saga shortly after the first movie came out. I was reluctant, however. I think I thought I was above it and didn't want to just read the newest book fad. But I did. And I read Twilight in less than a day.

I devoured the rest of the series within two weeks, avidly discussing it with my (then) best friend, Ellen. We were both Team Jacob.

Months past, and I began reading other books, including Harry Potter. I discovered Kaleb Nation, and John Green, and Maureen Johnson.... and Twilight no longer appealed to me. I became a hater of the series.

But I'm not here to bash Stephenie Meyer's books right now. Here is my list of how my life would be different if I never read Twilight:

1. I never would have read Harry Potter.

2. I never would have become a Nerdfighter.

3. I never would have found Kaleb Nation.

Everything that I have done this summer would have been completely different if I had never read Twilight. I never would've heard of Wizard Rock, therefore not going to Roflcoptour in Old Bridge. I never would've gone to Orlando, because I really only went there for the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. I never would've reconnected with Taylor. I never would've started this blog, nor would I have started making videos. I never would've listened to most of the music that I do now.

And I also never would've been able to say this:

See you tomorrow for my 4th BEDA entry.
