As a huge fan of music, I really like to follow my favorite artists as often as I can, in the hopes that I will eventually meet them, or that my fandom actually means something. Really, I just go to these frequent shows because of my love for music itself.

I recently invested in an app that is linked to my music accounts, that will notify me when my favorite artists are playing in concerts near me (don't download it if you're weak like I am). Of course, I went crazy for this app.

I bought tickets to my favorite groups as far as Frankie Cosmos, No Vacation, SALES, Weezer, and now there was Oh Wonder. I was so excited for this concert, but I didn't want to be there too early. So my boyfriend and I got there like ten minutes beforehand. I think it was for the best, because we couldn't seem to find a decent spot to stand at all. I am really short, and everyone else is really tall compared to me.. so I was having trouble either way. Another note: hats need to be banned from concerts because it only makes it worse for us shorties.

Anyways, the concert opened up with an artist named Sasha Sloan who came from Los Angeles. She was pretty good, but I couldn't understand what she was singing, because her drums were hella loud. She had great energy too, but I felt a little bad since she closed the show with, "Thanks guys! Go buy a CD so my label doesn't drop me!" I was thinking to myself that I would rather listen to her music on Spotify or something of the nature, because I have access to it all through there.

Then they waited another thirty minutes to set up for Oh Wonder... which felt like for-freaking-ever. I was standing there... moving around to find another decent spot.

Thirty minutes later, Oh Wonder comes on the stage! I went crazy! I was so thrilled to be seeing them in concert! They had the coolest light show! They had other band members, also Josephine (the only female in the group) brought her younger brother on the stage and he played saxophone during "Lose It" and OH MY GOD. It was the most surreal musical experience I have ever encountered!

Listening to Josephine and Anthony talk during or between their songs was the cutest and coolest thing ever. Josephine has so much energy, and Anthony had so many jam sessions during the songs. I just couldn't contain my joy, really. I was so happy to be there! I didn't get tired of their energy or music for a single second. I felt SO much energy during their song, "Heavy."

I had waited for a long time for a concert that I could feel the music through me, and I could not have been more impressed. They are such good artists, and they know how to perform well and just put on the best show. I personally think they make the best music live. People were having a good time all over. Everyone's hands were up...everyone was dancing... everyone was cheering. I just hope they enjoyed the energy us Nashville folk gave to them!

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.
