Going to concerts is absolutely my favorite pastime. Sadly, I am a college student and out of money now and cannot attend any for a while. Every time I go to a concert I go through crazy emotions and every experience and performance is different, but I always feel the same excitement and love for the time I spend jamming with my favorite artists and best friends.

1. The Anticipation

On they way to the concert when you're so hyped you can't contain yourself.


2. Disbelief That You're About To See Them

Approaching the venue and wondering if you're living in a dream.


3. Treasuring Your Ticket

Worrying about making sure the ticket is in your pocket, and contemplating framing it for later.


4. LINES

Lines to get in! Lines to get food! Lines to get wristbands! Lines to go to the bathroom!


5. Waiting For Them To Come Out

Finding your seat/place in the pit and having zero patience for any delays.


6. The Hype When The Lights First Go Up

Going bananas when things are about to get started, knowing your dreams are about to come true.


7. Losing It When You First Hear Them

OMG THEY'RE REAL AND RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME!


8. Dancing Like There's No Tomorrow

Bustin' moves with tons of people who are just as excited as you are to be there.


9. Planning A Future Life With Them

Mentally planning your future friendships/vacations/marriage/children with the artist.


10. When You Weren't Ready For An Encore

Getting hit with an unexpected encore when you had already accepted that the show was over.


11. Sad That It's Over, Blessed To Have Been There

Going into a state of real life summertime sadness when the show is over, but in disbelief in the beauty you just witnessed.

12. Eating Everything

Getting home and being so hungry and eating anything and everything you can get your hands on.


3. Passing Out

After a long and eventful day, you fall asleep exhausted but totally content.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
