You’ve Not Truly Seen Me Happy Until You’ve Seen Me At A Concert — And If You Haven't Been To One, You NEED To
Sophia Mayfield

Concerts are one of my favorite places to be on earth. You may be thinking "A concert... really?" Yes. The atmosphere at concerts is amazing. Everyone is there for basically the same reason, to listen to some breathtaking music from the people we idolize.

Yeah, you may be dripping in what seems like endless buckets of sweat and you might be pushed up against some random person, but no one cares because you're having the time of your life.

You're in a sea full of people, lost in the crowd and you are completely free to just jam out to the music. No one cares if you sound like a dying horse when you sing and no one minds if your dance moves look like a toddler learning to walk. It is a judgmental free zone and that's one of the best parts!

You may also meet some new friends or just interesting people as you're waiting for the artist to come on. I love hearing stories of other people's lives, it gives you more of a diverse outlook on the world.

The music can connect you to all of the random people around you, even if you think you have nothing at all in common.

Concerts can be a place to escape your problems and your stresses. Nothing in your life really matters when you're there except the music. Not to mention, concerts make you hit a whole new level of happiness. You will create memories that last you a lifetime there — how are you going to forget seeing your favorite artist?

Another pro to all of this is the number of calories you're burning. I never stop dancing and jumping when I'm at a concert and you do a lot of walking to get around!

Can concerts be a new workout trend? Please and thank you!

This all may sound mushy and gushy, but I think everyone should experience a concert in their lifetime. Concerts are good for the soul because they bring everyone together to just stop and enjoy the music for a little while.

So remember — life is short, buy the concert tickets!

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.
