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.

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.

Growing up I have always wanted to own a horse. My grandparents own a well known equestrian facility in Georgia, so I have been riding since I was born. A bond between a person and their horse is a bond so strong that it cannot be broken. Everywhere I went I wanted to be around horses, even forcing my family to go on trail rides during vacations.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.
