Ever since I was young, my mom always taught me that music is the way of life. As a kid I just went with it, but now that I'm on my own I truly believe it. I fall in love with new music each and every day and feel a different connection with the world and myself because of this.

On Wednesday, March 22, my friend and I attended a pop-up Panic! at the Disco concert in Asbury Park at the Stone Pony. Amazing would be an understatement for the show this band puts on for their fans. Panic! is becoming so innovative with the way they promote themselves as well as the way they promote their secret pop-up shows. The first night in Cleveland, Ohio, they performed, and as attendees were leaving the show, Nuns were outside handing out flyers that promoted the show for the next night in Asbury. It was then up to fans to spread the word on social media to tell New Jersey fans and nearby fans that the band would be playing a secret show.

Around 900 tickets were sold for the first come first serve event. When I arrived at the Stone Pony at 2 PM on Wednesday afternoon, the line was already wrapped around the corner. My heart instantly dropped, for I thought my chances of being in such an intimate venue with my favorite band were below none. We stood in line for around thirty minutes, as the line slowly moved, stressed that the there would be no tickets by the time we reached the box office. Without a doubt, God was definitely watching over me because we made it to the door with a few hundred tickets to spare.

After purchasing our tickets we were told to come back at 6:30 to line up an doors would open at 7:30. The hours went by quickly and finally it was time. I couldn't tell you how close I was to Brendan Uri in this intimate venue. I have never felt such a connection with a band or artist before. It truly amazes me what such a phenomenal performance is put on each time I see this band perform.

After the performance we were handed a flyer to promote the next show for March 24th. Watch out US, Panic! at the Disco is coming for you.

The world is not always sunshine and rainbows, and you do not have to be, either.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.

11 Ways To Live The Best Life You Can

Life is full of twists and turns, but you have to keep going.

Sam Houston State University

Life is all about twist and turns, sideways and which ways. Nothing is permanent, so we should take risks, and chase our dreams. We are taught at a young age many lessons that will follow us into adulthood. What we aren't taught is how to feel, and how we handle those emotions. We just have to figure them out ourselves, and that's not fun. In my 21 years of living, I have come to know that way too many people can't handle emotions, or the fact that not everyone is dead inside like them. When you're like me, and you have zero control over your emotions, it's hard to feel comfortable around people who aren't so in touch with themselves. As much as I would like to feel nothing at times, I've accepted who I am and the fact that I can cry over practically nothing. So, there are some things in life that you just have to do.

The world is not always sunshine and rainbows, and you do not have to be, either.

It would be so much easier to just pay someone to do it for you

1. Figuring out when to start

2. Searching through list after list to get everything you need

3. Shopping for deals

4. Getting bins to put everything in

5. Figuring what you can’t live without

6. Going through clothes to find what you need

7. Finding out your siblings took something from you

8. Fighting with your parents.

9. Trying to plan things with your roommate

10. The fear of forgetting something

11. Move in day

Relatable moments from one of the best shows I have ever watched.

1. When you fail that midterm you studied so hard for.

2. When your crush finally texts back.

3. When payday comes around.

4. When you accidentally like someone's picture from 108 weeks ago.

5. When someone takes your unassigned assigned seat.

6. When your favorite character in your favorite TV series dies.

7. When that guy/girl you’ve been crushing on agrees to go on a date with you.

8. When you have so much to do, and such little motivation to do it.

9. When someone asks for your last fry.

10. When you try a new health-food craze.

11. When you get new clothing.

12. When you check your bank account.

13. When they're serving good food in the dining hall.

14. When someone tries to tell you what to do.

15. Or just your thoughts about life in general.

We all have that "I don't care" attitude.

1. Most students just take life day by day.

2. That means procrastinating, one day at a time.

3. College students don't mind dressing like crap sometimes.

4. In fact, dressing nice feels weird.

5. College students get so stressed that they contemplate dropping on a daily basis.

6. But most find another solution to deal with that stress.

7. And that solution can be pretty cheap. Anything over $5 is expensive.

8. One of the only things college students will spend money on is coffee.

9. College is just really expensive and you never forget how expensive it is.

10. But hey, we're getting a somewhat high-quality education, right?

11. We all really just want to pet dogs all day.

12. And eat pizza for every meal.

13. And stab the next person who asks us what we want to do with our life.

14. However, despite the stress and student loans, college is amazing and there's plenty of reasons to smile.

Thank you, April, for inspiring us with your wicked relatability.

Life is full of twists and turns, but you have to keep going.

1. Wallow.

2. Cry.

3. Get Angry.

4. Tell Someone You Love Them.

5. Forgive.

6. Let go of the negative people in your life.

7. Be yourself.

8. Swallow Your Pride.

9. Stop Freaking Out Over Your Body.

10. Say No.

11. Accept Love.
