Coldplay- An Amazing Concert Experience

Coldplay sets the bar high in terms of the degree of concert awesomeness.

Coldplay- An Amazing Concert Experience
Courtney Stedman

If there is one concert I would highly recommend going to when they're touring, it's Coldplay. Their concerts never let you sit down. You are constantly entertained by Chris Martin's (the lead singer) theatrics and interactions with the crowd. The best part is is that they are friendly and fun for all ages.

A British rock/alternative band, Coldplay became famous worldwide because of songs like "Clocks," "Yellow," "Viva La Vida," and a more recent one as part of their 2016 album "A Head Full of Dreams," "Adventure of a Lifetime." Headed by Martin, the band has been together since 1996 (the year of my birth- but this band is timeless), and every album since then has gotten better and better.

Coldplay's most recent album, "A Head Full of Dreams," is absolutely amazing by my standards. Songs such as "Hymn for the Weekend" (with a cameo by Beyonce), "Adventure of a Lifetime," and "Up&Up," highlight the colorful album that almost takes you to an alternative world. The sounds are unique, and don't let you get tired of the songs.

They announced another world tour for this album, and fortunately I was able to go to their Denver stop with a friend and my parents this past August. Before this concert, I had always loved reading about and watching people get their tickets upgraded to amazing seats on concert documentaries. Little did my friend and I know that we would be having the experience of a lifetime that night.

We had seats in the nosebleed section of the Pepsi Center, but they weren't bad at all. I liked our view; we could see everything going on and it was amazing to soak it all in before Coldplay even came on.

My friend and I were standing up, finding and waving to my parents on the side of the first level. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a man with a Coldplay shirt walking towards us up the stairs. I thought nothing of it; he was just an attendee who already had a Coldplay shirt on.

Next thing we knew, he walked up to us and told us he worked for Coldplay. He was looking for "superfans" of the band. He asked us a few questions about Coldplay. After we answered them to the best of our abilities, he asked us if we would like for our parents to be waving at us from the second row. We freaked out and were so excited to be two rows away from the stage.

We ran like 12 year old girls at a Jonas Brothers (rip) concert down to our new seats on the floor. We still could not believe what had just happened to us. The feeling was surreal. To be so close to a well-known band that I had liked for a long time was amazing.

The experience overall was once-in-a-lifetime. I could not have asked for a better night. So again, if there is one concert you should definitely try to go to when they are touring, it's Coldplay.

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.

There are a lot of foods in this world, but there is only one dish that stands above the rest: Pizza. If you're close to me or at least know who I am, then you know that I'm totally obsessed with pizza. It's one of my favorite things to eat and I will NEVER turn down a slice, even if it doesn't have my favorite toppings. There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not thinking about pizza. I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.
