On Wednesday, August 17, 2016, I prepared for the concert of a lifetime. One that I never thought I would have the opportunity of attending. As I prepared myself for the evening to come, my stomach fluttered with butterflies. I was going to see my "One And Only" favorite artist, ten time Grammy winner, Adele.

I bought the ticket with little second thought. The seat was in the nosebleeds, but who cares? I was going to be in the same building as her.

I showered, curled my hair in big waves, put on long nails with dark nail polish, applied the perfect amount of winged eyeliner, threw on some false lashes and a black dress and I was set. This was going to be the night of my life. I nearly ran to the car and couldn't hesitate to speed just a little bit towards the Talking Stick Resort Arena in Phoenix, AZ.

As I approached the arena I wondered if I had beat the traffic. I found a great parking spot. Got out as a family across from me was doing the same.

"Hi! Are you going to the concert!?!"

I beamed with pride wearing an ear to ear smile and my flawless outfit.

"Yes!"

And then the words that never crossed my mind were said by the mother:

"You know she cancelled, right?"

This is where we begin on my emotional roller coaster of the night:

1. Confused

"I'm sorry? What was that?"

"She put it on Twitter! She's sick!"

2. Panicked

No this isn't real life. Stop.

3. Angry

How could she cancel!?!?! Who does she think she is? IT'S A SOLD OUT SHOW.

4. Anxious

What do I do now? I WILL NEVER SEE HER IN CONCERT.

5. Concerned

Oh god, I hope she gets better. OMG if it's her vocal cords again. I swear.

6. Depressed

That's it. Goodbye cruel world.

7. Empty

What's the point of anything? Why did I ever think this would happen?

8. Useless

There's nothing I can do. She's cancelled.

9. Fragile


I approached the arena. There were signs:

10. Defensive

I read the sign and walked over to the security guard stand near the entrance.

"Where am I supposed to be watching for updates?"

"Well, if you're a 'true fan' you'll watch her Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook."

*Excuse me? "TRUE FAN"? WHAT DO I LOOK LIKE TO YOU? I could be her body double? #dramaticmuch

11. Heartbroken

He doesn't understand. I'll never see her. And now I have to wait even longer if I do.

12. Sullen

When is the rescheduled concert going to happen, IF it does?

13. Detached

I called my best friend and my mom. But I still sobbed.

14. Obsessed

I am obsessed with her. I know. But we are literally the same person so I have the right. (We have the same birthday. And a multitude of other similarities.)

15. Distant

Just leave me alone to cry in my $10 parking spot.

16. Unresponsive

Texts and Snapchats gathered in my notifications as I just sat in my self-pity.

17. Hungry

I decided I was all done up and these false lashes couldn't go to waste, so I took myself out to dinner. #spaghettisolvesallmyproblems

18. Lonely

I sat in the restaurant, at a table for one, listening to the table across from me talk about the amazing concert she was able to do last night. I wanted to throw my garlic bread at them but it was too delicious.

19. Misunderstood

Of course there can't be anyone else in this sold out show that is as heartbroken as me. #diva

20. Nervous

When will she say the rescheduled show is!?!

21. Exhausted

Now it's nearly midnight. Time to sleep. This day can go away now.

22. Stressed

I can't sleep of course.

23. Hopeful

I awakened at 7:30a.m. the next day. I have Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook notifications and emails to sort through. All with the same message.

24. Shocked

NO WAY. NOVEMBER 21. I shuffle to my planner: I'M FREE.

25. Extreme Joy

Through pain and suffering came joy. And even though I now have to wait nearly three extra months, I get to see the amazing ADELE, live, in concert, before my two eyes.

There will be tears.

To be continued.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
