6 Things You Feel After A Concert

We've all been there. That adrenaline rush, feeling on top of the world, the crash...

1. Did that just happen?

Giphy

Is this real life? It's over already? Did I really just experience that? Why isn't it sinking in? When will it? Can I have a do-over, or, someone please pinch me. That did not happen.

2. Absolute euphoria

Giphy

You know what I mean. The adrenaline rush that stays with you as you leave the concert. Feeling on top of the world and ready to take it over because of the energy level you're on. Listening to the band's music over and over again because you just saw them! The cloud nine moment of concerts.

3. Reflection

Giphy

Now that your life is forever changed, or so it feels like, you have a second to register the events that just occurred. This is the time where you might sift through your pictures and videos, deciding what to post along the way. Looking back on all of those perfect concert memories you just made, still not registering what happened.

4. Reality strikes

Giphy

The realization that you will never experience exactly what you just saw ever again. You are back in the real world and the best you can do is turn Spotify all the way up and replay the show in your mind.

5. Post-Concert Depression

Giphy

It's a real thing. Staring at your ceiling, feeling a strange sadness pushing on you. An hour earlier you were thriving at the concert of your dreams and now all you have left are the low quality pictures that seemed so much better in the moment. It just ended so soon, how could you not be upset?

6. Acceptance

Giphy

Okay, okay, of course you were sad that this concert was over, but you will go again next time they come. In the mean time, maybe you can convince your friends to go to another concert with you next month. You purchase the tickets, you are completely broke, but you get to continue the concert-going cycle you love so much. With another concert coming up, you have something to look forward to! Nothing else matters until...

So there you have it, the six stages you go through after a concert! It just hurts in such a good way. See you all at the next concert.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

St. Thomas Aquinas College

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:

We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.
