Concerts have the ability to make you feel everything and anything all at once.

Concerts Prove That You Can Travel To Other Worlds
Sydnee Martin

"I love hearing songs live and the positive atmosphere you get when everyone around you is singing or dancing along, and the fact that strangers are friends because we all connect on one thing."

" They make me feel more connected with a group of strangers but also free from distraction and other responsibilities since it's someone entertaining me instead of the other way around."

"I loved mine [first experience at a concert this summer] because it was Beyoncé and she puts her all into everything."

These are just a few quotes from people who described their time at a concert, whether it be their first or last, we can all agree that if the concert is everything we expected, then we can certainly relate to each of these words above.

As far as I know, I haven't heard of a word that describes a love for concerts, but experiencing that high is more than enough explanation for it.

Since this summer, I've been to three concerts: On The Run II, Arctic Monkeys, and Florence + the Machine. Each one transferring me to a completely new world in regard to their focused genre. Finding yourself connecting to the words and the people around you make you feel as if you are on top of the world, and in a way, you are.

For one night, it's just you, your friends, and a group of strangers connecting to the same beat and lyrics from some of your favorite artists. You shed the worries away from the past, present, and future, for this night that allows you to transcend your own being. And it feels fantastic.

Concerts have this ability to make you feel everything and anything all at once. Sometimes being so shock to the point that you don't even know if what you experienced was real or not, but it most definitely is.

How is it that this flood of sound can give you chills up and down your spine? How is it that even though you probably have no clue on how to sing, you feel like you are on the stage right with your favorite artists? Maybe you were able to do so or maybe even barely touch their clothing as they ran past you as fast as lighting.

It's a beauty all in itself with how concerts can connect you to humans you will never see again, but they just became some of the closest people to see you truly shed your soul right in front of them. They experienced that tone-deaf voice of yours, the sweat dripping from your body and unceremoniously touching their own, and the head bobbing all throughout the night. But guess what? They were doing the same throughout the night.

Concerts are a glorious thing to come by, and maybe you haven't gone to your first one yet, but it's highly recommended by the majority who have. It's not the safest to go out alone to a concert, maybe in the day would be best, but regardless if you can, grab that group of friends you have and treat yourself to a whole new world that you get to be a part of.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
