Concerts Prove That You Can Travel To Other Worlds

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.

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

You know that all of these things apply to you. You'll just never tell.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

pale girl

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
