Why I Cried At The Halsey Concert

Because she's perfect, that's why.

Why I Cried At The Halsey Concert
Drew Hill

Here I am once again, writing about music. If you hate it, I'm not sorry. It's the only thing I care about that is not edible and that I cannot wear.

Nevertheless, I finally went to another concert and let me just say I WAS LIVING!!! That is that eighth concert I've been to and this was definitely one of the best ones!

First of all, I saw Halsey who is a queen, a sweetheart and an inspiration to me. I've loved her for a few years now and when she did her Badlands tour she didn't come to a place that was close and convenient for me, so I didn't get to see her.

Halsey is a sweetheart because she gives so much to her fans and cares so much about them.

She also puts her heart and soul into her music and it really means a lot to her and it means a lot to us and I really think that that is so beautiful and important.

Halsey often writes songs about difficult subjects but the way that she is so open and honest about her struggles and her past is so pure and sweet to me.

Halsey is an inspiration to me especially because she's young and confident and she does what she wants.

Most importantly, Halsey is bisexual and having a positive bi role model is really important not just for me but for younger people who don't really see themselves or their sexuality represented in a positive way.

The aesthetic is everything to me.

Why else would it be one of my favorite words?

Halsey's tour is definitely one of the most aesthetically pleasing shows I have ever witnessed.

She had confetti, pyrotechnics and amazing lighting. There was water, wardrobe changes, video visuals and colorful visuals. She truly puts on a show for the ears as well as the eyes.

As far as setlists go, it could've been better. I'm being brutally honest when I say that Badlands was not her best work so there were a few songs that she sang from that album where I was like "eh."

I mean obviously, I was still screaming and dying but less so... But my favorite song on the setlist was "Is There Somewhere" because it's so heartfelt and that song happens to be about another one of my favorite people.

I've cried to it so many times and just hearing it live made me feel so much that I started sobbing. Which doesn't sound like it would be my favorite but it is because it's one of her older songs and the fact that she still performs it makes my heart happy.

My favorite moments were both of the confetti drops she did because they were so beautiful yet so unexpected. She even has butterfly-shaped confetti that I still have pieces of in my purse.

Halsey gets up close with her fans and lets them hug her and touch her and it feels so intimate like friends hanging out and not people in an arena to see a star.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!
