Jesse McCartney's Still Got It

He shines in his latest concert performance.

Jesse McCartney's Still Got It

Last Saturday night, after spending 3 hours in line with 2,199 other fans, my childhood dreams finally came true. I saw Jesse McCartney in concert!

“I’ve been touring at colleges for the past 2 years because my most loyal fans are in college.”

Jesse performed classic songs like “Leavin’”, “She’s No You”, “How Do You Sleep?”, and “Beautiful Soul”, but he also performed some new music from his latest album, “In Technicolor”. He was very interactive with the crowd—throwing up the mic for us to shout out the lyrics. Seeing his fans having the time of their lives made him smile so hard. He hasn’t aged one bit from 18 to 30. He is a natural performer with flawless vocal chords and a flashy smile. He does this little dance (when he throws the mic up for us to sing) where he nods his head with a smirky smile.

“What do you think this is? College?”

After running off stage to grab a water, he comes back and starts drinking. The audience starts chanting “CHUG! CHUG! CHUG!” He throws out that little dad joke line.

You can see all over his face that he not only loves us, but he loves what he does. Performing is his passion, and he turns it into something fun rather than something stressful. He loves his management, and co-workers. He was just so grateful.

“What? Did I forget something?”

Towards the end of the concert, he pretends it’s over without singing the song that made him famous, “Beautiful Soul”. He comes back and starts singing and every voice in the auditorium was at volume max.

Jesse McCartney was one of the best concerts I’ve ever been to, and I would 10/10 recommend it to anyone and everyone.

McCartney’s still got it!!

Here are some tweets from myself and my best friend, during and after the concert:

@kallie_alexis: “THIRD ROW AT JESSE MCCARTNEY (emojis)”

@kallie_alexis: “SPOT THE KALLIE! OMG BEST NIGHT EVER!!! (emojis) @ Harding University”

@kallie_alexis: “I’m in love with this night…”

@kallie_alexis: “JESSE MCCARTNEY WAS AMAZING!!!”

@kallie_alexis: “I’M CRYING @ Harding University”

@jordyn_hensley: “Hearing Beautiful Soul live is something else. (emoji)”

@jordyn_hensley: “I have waited 12 years for this. My 6 year old dreams came true last night.”

@kallie_alexis: “I’d rather be at the Jesse McCartney concert right now”

@kallie_alexis: “lol I think my 6 year old self has intertwined with my 19 year old self… I’m fangirling over In Technicolor”

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
