The 11 Emotions You Experience At A Twenty One Pilots Concert

I saw the band Twenty One Pilots for the first time Friday, June 17, 2016 at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut. I've been a fan of the band consisting of lead singer/rapper/pianist/ukulele player Tyler Joseph and drummer/trumpet player Josh Dun for a couple years. Twenty One Pilots entertained the audience for almost two hours with minimal outfit changes, surprising covers and constant fan engagement. Here are the 11 emotions you should expect to experience at their concert.

1. Content

You're in your seat waiting for the concert to start as you sip your $3 bottle of water. The view is decent and the setlist is amazing, so you're pretty happy and ready for the show.


2. Impatient

Before Tyler and Josh come out, the opening acts perform. It's not that they're bad, but they're not who you're here to see. Eventually the songs start to blur into one, and you really just want them to get off the stage.


3. Anxious

The opening acts are done, and now you just have to wait a few more minutes for the headliners to come onstage. Most artists pick the music that plays between each set. For Twenty One Pilots, that "music" is a trance-like humming sound that goes on and on for 40 minutes. You also drank all your water and have to pee, but you don't dare leave because you can't miss a second of the show once it starts.


4. Adrenaline

Finally it's showtime! The curtain drops, the music starts blaring, and onstage are the boys you've been waiting for. You scream louder than you knew you could, and your body feels like it's on fire with excitement. This is going to be a great night.


5. Pure joy


The band is performing all the songs you like and you're singing (or in my brother's case, screaming) so loud that you know you won't be able to talk tomorrow. It's the best feeling in the world.


6. Lust

It's the part of the show where Josh takes off his shirt and his muscles flex as he drums his heart out. Why, oh why didn't you get closer seats?


7. The Need to Hug

Tyler is sitting on the B-stage singing sad songs with everything he's got. Who hurt him? Again, why didn't you get closer seats so you could run onstage and hug him until he's OK?


8. The Desire to be a Hamster Ball


It wasn't enough for Tyler to stand on people while he sang "Holding On To You." Crowd-surfing has been done before. People want to be surprised. I can honestly say nothing is more surprising than seeing Tyler step into a giant human hamster ball and rolling over the audience on the floor as he finished performing "Guns for Hands." Now that's how you crowd-surf.


9. "Tyler, get down from there!"


Apparently, even being a hamster isn't thrilling enough for Tyler Joseph, because he decided to run from the main stage to the B-stage and scale a tower with no harness on. He finished singing "Car Radio" as Josh looked on from below, supporting his best friend/bandmate.


10. Sadness

After your heart was ripped out during "Goner," the boys perform their final song, "Trees," and it hits you. This is it. The show is ending. You realize this was one of the most entertaining concerts you've ever been to, and you don't want the night to end, but unfortunately it has to.


11. Reincarnated

You will never be the same. Seeing and hearing Twenty One Pilots live has changed your life. All you can do is hope you get tickets to the next tour and do it all over again.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

19 Lessons I'll Never Forget from Growing Up In a Small Town

There have been many lessons learned.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
