What Happens When You Wait 16 Hours To See Harry Styles Live

You call it crazy, I call it dedication.

I saw Harry Edward Styles!

That is all that I can say because I am still not over the fact that it has happened. After Harry announced his tour dates, The Today Show announced that Styles would be kick starting their Citi Concert Series. So as any fan I went on their website and saw that they were giving out fan passes; which if you got a fan pass you would be able to be in front of general admission. I entered and put a ton of my emails and prayed.

So I went on with my business and probably most likely I forgot I entered because it is a one in a million chance to win. But on a Thursday evening I received a call from my mom that she received an email from the Today Show of winning Fan Passes to see Harry. I was on the brick of tears. Never in all of my life I expect to win this. Especially to see Harry. I had told all my friends and everyone I knew. Even though most aren't fans. But that's o.k because it just means less people I have to share loving Harry.

When May 8th came I had packed everything in advance like my pillow pet, blanket, my charger, and money. I was prepared for my journey. I arrived in Manhattan around 1:30 and saw a good number of dedicated fans lined up. There was already 2 barricade of girls and my friends were siting in the 1st because they arrived at 9 am. So I sat with them and chat. We caught up because I haven't seen them since high school ended. I then met my plus one for the Fan Pass. She and her friend came from upstate New York about an hour from Manhattan. We had a lot in common. Both of us also are part of the National Art Honor Society and we admire Niall. It was honestly the perfect match.

In the Fan Pass line though there was some drama! Though in life there is always drama. You can choose to be apart of it or not. Also people passing by asked us why are we were siting here and who are we waiting for. Other commented by calling us, "hobos"

Later, I started to write on Twitter updates on what was happening to inform people about how long the lines were and to bring warm clothing to stay warm.

As time passed and we talked more I met with other fans from the group chat I made and it was so fun to meet them. It is so nice to go or meet up with people when it comes to an event. It is no fun going alone!

Around 1 am I was totally drained. I was worried I would not be able to sleep because it was so cold and there was so much noise. But I did fall asleep and woke up around 3:30 am. As the time got closer to 5:30 you could feel the excitement.

The Fan Pass line received their passes and we headed to the stage! When Harry appeared the crowed went wild. Harry was wearing a dark cabbie cap and a tan sweater for his sound check. For the actual live performance he wore a pink suite with a black shirt underneath. He sang Ever Since New York, Sign of the Times, Carolina, and surprised us with Stockholm Syndrome (which is a One Direction song from their album FOUR).

Even though I waited 16 hours for this short period of time to see Harry perform. This day and experience I will never forget, ever!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
