There's Nothing Like The Soul Cleansing Experience You Get From Going To A Country Concert

There's Nothing Like The Soul Cleansing Experience You Get From Going To A Country Concert
Jasmine Conti

It was just a typical Saturday.

I was picking up a pizza to take home to my brothers. We were going to spend the night in, watching Netflix. I was on my way home when my phone rang. It was my godfather. I thought he was going to ask me to babysit.

Boy, was I wrong.

I answered the phone, and he said, "I have two tickets to see Kane Brown and Chris Young tonight. Do you want them?"

My jaw dropped, and my phone almost followed. But I caught it with just enough time to let out, in a shrill voice, "ARE YOU SERIOUS?!"

He laughed. "Yes, I'll send them over to you."

I was floating.

I called my brother, who not only got my good looks, but also my good taste in music. My enthusiasm was matched by his screams blowing out my eardrums. It was six o'clock, and the show started at 7:30 at the Mann Center of Performing Arts, which was about an hour away.

We rushed to get ready and set off, fueled by cloud nine and country music.

We made it in one piece, and just in time. We found our seats, which were floor seats by the way. We could practically taste the musicians' sweat.

The lights dimmed as Kane Brown walked out on stage. The audience roared. The music matched its sound.

Then his voice, like honey, soothed the screams of a thousand hearts as "Found You" began.

His set was amazing, and just when I thought it couldn't get better, he blew me away all over again.

He sang some of my absolute favorites, like "Used To Love You Sober," "Lose It" and "What Ifs." And when my favorite song, "Heaven," came on, he did something extraordinary.

He invited two little boys up on stage to sing with him, and they were precious!

It made the entire show that much more magical.

He was a dream, but like all dreams, the concert came to an end eventually.

Kane Brown left me, voice hoarse and heart full. We waited, our energy high until the lights went low once more.

And if I wasn't swooning before, I was now.

Chris Young's vocals struck a chord in me that I didn't even know existed, but it's still vibrating inside of me.

His set sent a wave across the audience. He has a way of synchronizing your senses in perfect harmony with his song.

The crowd was on its feet the entire time, bodies swaying and hearts bursting.

I looked over at my little brother and felt his smile like I felt my own.

After the encore, the lights raised once more and we floated through the last electric pulses that buzzed through the room.

In that moment, I was totally content.

I've been to many concerts before, but there's nothing quite like the experience you get when you get a little country.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
