You’ve Not Truly Seen Me Happy Until You’ve Seen Me At A Concert — And If You Haven't Been To One, You NEED To
Sophia Mayfield

Concerts are one of my favorite places to be on earth. You may be thinking "A concert... really?" Yes. The atmosphere at concerts is amazing. Everyone is there for basically the same reason, to listen to some breathtaking music from the people we idolize.

Yeah, you may be dripping in what seems like endless buckets of sweat and you might be pushed up against some random person, but no one cares because you're having the time of your life.

You're in a sea full of people, lost in the crowd and you are completely free to just jam out to the music. No one cares if you sound like a dying horse when you sing and no one minds if your dance moves look like a toddler learning to walk. It is a judgmental free zone and that's one of the best parts!

You may also meet some new friends or just interesting people as you're waiting for the artist to come on. I love hearing stories of other people's lives, it gives you more of a diverse outlook on the world.

The music can connect you to all of the random people around you, even if you think you have nothing at all in common.

Concerts can be a place to escape your problems and your stresses. Nothing in your life really matters when you're there except the music. Not to mention, concerts make you hit a whole new level of happiness. You will create memories that last you a lifetime there — how are you going to forget seeing your favorite artist?

Another pro to all of this is the number of calories you're burning. I never stop dancing and jumping when I'm at a concert and you do a lot of walking to get around!

Can concerts be a new workout trend? Please and thank you!

This all may sound mushy and gushy, but I think everyone should experience a concert in their lifetime. Concerts are good for the soul because they bring everyone together to just stop and enjoy the music for a little while.

So remember — life is short, buy the concert tickets!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
