The Concert Of A Lifetime: Head Full of Dreams Tour

Because in a 'sky full of stars,' Coldplay is the brightest one in the sky.

The Concert Of A Lifetime: Head Full of Dreams Tour
Jordyn Stupp

There was a sky full of stars for me the other night, but no, not real stars, confetti stars. In that moment, I felt pure joy and found a state of serenity within myself. I have Coldplay to thank for that.

As my family and I drove up to the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California, my excitement for the night ahead grew. That rush I get at concerts was starting to form. I have wanted to see Coldplay in concert for years. Their music is freeing and colorful and whenever I listened to their songs, I was either brought to tears from the beauty and meaningfulness of the song or brought to my feet to dance the night away.

I was expecting an incredible concert. I was expecting to dance and have fun and sing. My expectations were correct and the concert even was able to exceed my expectations. I felt a sense of freedom and peace as I watched the beautiful colors displayed on the screen, or as I watched Chris Martin run around the stage and having the time of his life. It was the perfect concert.

I am a concert junkie. I love concerts and have lost track of the amount of them I have seen. But, with that being said, the Coldplay concert is one that will always be one of the absolute best shows I've ever seen.

I had a very emotional time when Chris Martin started to sing "Fix You." That's a song I have found myself crying to in moments when I never thought I would be happy, in moments when I was the happiest I ever thought I could be, and just in moments where I needed a good cry. As I became emotional and teary-eyed watching and listening to them play the song, I witnessed a beautiful moment between a father and son in front of me. The father was holding his son in his arms and weeping. I couldn't see the sons face, but because of the true and raw emotion the father was expressing, and the tight hug the son was giving his father, I can only imagine that the son was emotional as well. It was absolutely beautiful and touching. Even though with my very curious tendencies, I so badly want to know the exact reason why they were so emotional, I also am just trying to respect the moment and remember the beautiful relationship between the father and son. I realized that other people have the same type of emotions and feelings as I do towards a song and the band itself.

On top of the emotional moments from the sad songs like "Fix You" and "The Scientist," I also found myself dancing and never wanting to stop. From older songs like "Viva La Vida" to the newer songs like "Hymn for the Weekend," my feet never stopped jumping up and down to the rhythm of the music.

For all of those people out there who don't find themselves being concert goers, but love music, they need a find a way to change that. Live music is incredible and you will always remember hearing your favorite bands live, whereas you might not remember listening to your favorite song on your phone when you are lying in bed. Live music is incredible and special, and I know I take every opportunity I can to go to a concert or a festival, and I believe any person who is fan of any type of music should do the same.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
