Whether you’re an avid music listener or a casual listener, concerts are something you should try to attend as often as possible.

Yes, it gets expensive. No, it isn’t tangible, but yes, concerts make some of the best memories. Whether you live 5 minutes, an hour, or 5 hours from a concert, it’s an experience that you will never forget, no matter how often you go to concerts.

1. The memories

I’ve made endless memories at concerts with old friends, made memories with new friends, and met people I will never forget at concerts. Personally, I’ve been to over 100 concerts and if I just look at the ticket from a particular show, I remember it vividly and it takes me right back to the night of the show.

2. Stress relief

I mean, come on. We’re in college, and stress is a part of our everyday lives. Concerts give us just one night where we don’t have to worry about anything but enjoying ourselves.

3. Health benefits

Happy people are generally healthier people. I don’t know about you, but I’ve never seen anyone who wasn’t happy at a concert. Plus, I read somewhere that people who go to concerts often are more likely to live longer, happier lives than those who don’t….

4. Adventure

Concerts give us the opportunity to travel to places we’ve never been before. You don’t have to go to your local concert, you can travel to New York if you want to. Plus, take a few of your friends along on your road trip and have the trip of a lifetime.

5. To have fun

I know we don’t have much shortage of fun in college, but concerts are the places I personally have the most fun. What’s better than dancing around with your friends while your favorite artist is on stage having just as much fun with you?

In case you're unaware, "resting bitch face" is the term used to describe when a person's natural, expressionless face makes it look like they are mad at the world. Whether they are walking down the street or simply spacing out thinking about what to eat for dinner, it's very easy for others to assume that this person is either upset or mad at them. Because of this, those of us with Resting Bitch Face (RBF), and especially us women, have all experienced many of the same situations and conversations, including:

We've all had a crush before. Whether it leads to something or nothing, the process has all been the same. The awkward feelings, the stalking, and the stress of trying to keep this huge secret. The feeling of becoming a total spazz is something that cannot be avoided, and the most spazzy family that can relate to this feeling is the Belcher's.

At the tender age of 18, we are bestowed with the title of “adult.” For 17 years, we live under the rules and guidelines of our parents, school, and government, and to stray from any of those rules or guidelines marks us as a rebel. At 18, though, we must choose which college we want to go to or what career we want. We are allowed and encouraged to vote. We can buy lottery tickets and cigarettes. We can drop out of school, leave our household, and do other "adult" things. At 18, we start down a path of thinking for ourselves, when for the entirety of our lives other institutions have been mandated to think and do for us.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.
