Why You Should Go To A Concert

Concerts are the best, man.

Going to concerts is by far one of my favorite hobbies. I love the live music being performed, but the thing I enjoy the most about concerts is the atmosphere. There are very few places that give off a similar vibe to a concert or music festival. In a nation that feels so divided at times, it is refreshing to see such a wide assortment of people grouped together to enjoy the same thing: music.

Nobody cares about your race, sexual orientation, religion or where you came from. The only thing that matters is the music being performed.

I've been to concerts that range across the music spectrum; Grimes, 2 Chainz, Passion Pit, you name it. I have driven to Boulder, Colorado to see Tyler, The Creator, to Council Bluffs, Iowa to see Skrillex, and to Chicago, Illinois for Chance The Rapper's Magnificent Coloring Day. Every concert I have seen, no matter the distance I had to travel, has been worth it.

I have a list of artists I want to see in the future, like a bucket list of sorts. As time goes on I plan to check off each and every artist listed. I just bought tickets to go see the Lumineers in January!

Concerts are, in my opinion, the best type of live performance. If you haven't been to one yet then take a chance and see the artist you've always wanted to, even if they're performing 10 hours away. Trust me, it'll be well worth it.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

Western New England University

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions.

Here are 17 times Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel accurately described life.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.
