In This Article:

I love going to concerts, there's something so special about the adrenaline you feel before, during and after a concert. Starting with the Jonas Brothers in 2009, I've always loved going to see some of my favorite artists live. There's just something about the energy of being in a jam-packed arena, surrounded by fans, listening to your favorite artist.

Here are 13 reasons why I'm a concert junkie.

1. The anticipation leading up to the concert

Weeks ahead of time you are listening to that artist on replay, preparing yourself for the night of your life.

2. Attending the concert with someone who shares the same joy as you

When you both look at each other in the midst of the craziness and smile, knowing you both are living your best life.

3. The road trip to the concert venue

No matter the distance you drive, it's always so worth it because the drive is filled with so much excitement and eagerness.

4. The lights

For me, the lights can totally set the mood for the entire show. The colorful, flashing lights can build so much suspense and positive energy to each and every moment.

5. Being in the same vicinity as your favorite artist

To actually think that you were sharing the same room with someone you admire so much is amazing to think about.

6. Getting to meet other fans

Hearing stories of how an artist's music has brought you together and created friendships is something special.

7.  The way you get lost in the music

Having every lyric memorized and singing alongside hundreds of people PLUS your favorite artist? It's an unforgettable memory.

8. The energy is unable to be matched

Everyone is just as hype as you are; yelling in excitement, smiling from ear to ear, and dancing to each song.

9. The feeling when your favorite song comes on

The moment in the concert when the beginning beats of your favorite song starts and your face lights up.

10. Losing your voice because you cheered so excessively 

Who cares if your voice gets lost in the crowd? I'm always cheering loud and proud (and maybe a little obnoxiously.)

11. The goosebumps

If you don't get goosebumps when your favorite artist is belting out the lyrics to their most powerful song then there's something wrong. (Sorry, I don't make the rules.)

12. The way your ears ring after the show ends

Listening to music at the highest volume possible, surrounded by hundreds of screaming fans can be a little bit overwhelming for your poor eardrums but it's totally worth it.

13. The lasting impression you have afterwards

The memories, the videos you captured while singing along to your favorite songs, and the selfies you took while cheesing too hard. The songs performed at the concert are forever changed for you; every time you listen to that artist you remember how you felt while hearing the song live and LOVING it.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
