That Feeling You Get After A Good Concert
Maryn Tanksley

There’s nothing like the feeling you have leading up to a concert. You’ve been saving your money just to buy a ticket with your friends to see your favorite band or artist. You pick out an outfit, arrange your rides, take pictures and the whole time you’ve got what feels like butterflies. You have been looking forward to this all month, and it’s finally here. You’re about to be in front of your idol, they are going to be in the same building as you. Someone you watch on TV and listen to in your car is now in the same vicinity as you. It’s hard to grasp.

Whether you just heard of the band or have been listening to them your whole life you get this natural high off the energy that surrounds you at a concert. The people around you share the same excitement as you, it’s almost like you can connect with anyone there. The moment before they come on stage, as you look at your best friends, your stomach is in knots. Here they come.

Now you're dancing, singing, sweating and loving every minute of it. It’s like a dream come true. It’s not just about the music anymore but also the entertainment that comes from the performance. It’s as if they are speaking directly to you when they say,” How ya doin', Atlanta?” It’s something you can’t really describe. Everyone puts off this vibe, and you're waving your arms in the air with strangers that you feel like you know.

It makes you happy. At this moment you are happy because happy people listen to music and happy people go to concerts. It’s a fact. There are specific songs that speak to you and you get lost in the moment. You’re making memories.

The concert is over, and you’ve listened to this band all month in preparation for this concert, and your whole drive back you’re still listening. Its a feeling that takes over your whole body. You leave the concert smiling and jumping around with your friends talking about your favorite part, but really the whole night was your favorite part. Music makes you happy and the feeling you get from going to a concert is something everyone should experience.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

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.
