Ultimately, my One Direction heart was soaring.

Harry Styles' Bandmates May Have Gone In Different Directions, But He Is Still 'Perfect'

There comes a feeling when everything in the world just feels right and absolutely nothing else could ever feel wrong. There's no way of knowing when or how that moment may be, or what causes it, but everything just feels perfect.

I think I've come to the conclusion, that for me, most concerts are that feeling.

The ability to stand in one room, big or small, and share the same connecting feeling of love and appreciation for the artist or artists on stage is undeniable.

I feel lucky to have the ability to go to as many concerts as I do. I cherish them and I lavish in those feelings and yes, I do feel absolutely lucky.

Recently, I had the experience to go to Harry Styles concert while he was in Seattle. Ultimately, my 13-year-old One Direction obsessed heart was soaring. But above all of that, I was touched, impressed, and completely blown away with the show.

I've been a fan of Harry's for years; I've seen the shows he's put on; I've seen the way he performs on stage; but nothing lives up to the moment of seeing an artist that you admire, live. Nothing will ever compare to that feeling of total awe and total bliss for those couple hours.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, it's easy to see after my other concert reviews how much music means to me.

I thought I would do something a little different this time. Instead of doing a basic album review (as much as I desire to, I want to change it up!), I thought I would do a full, complete concert review of my two hours spent singing along with Harry Styles.

Bear with me here, this concert felt like one of the most special moments I've had in life because of who Harry is and the people I was with that day.

Everything that Harry promotes about his shows all revolves around treating people with kindness. He sells it on shirts, on sweatshirts, on water bottles, on hair ties, there's honestly probably more that I'm forgetting right now. Harry has a way of making each and every one of his shows feel special and appreciated all on its own.

The US tour has now come to a sad end. After One Direction announced their hiatus in 2015, Harry embarked on his solo tour and journey towards writing and creating his own album. After two years of silence, Harry released his own album in May 2017.

Since then, Harry has gone on basically two tours. The first tour, which was advertised as an intimate tour, ran from September 2017, to early December. Within the midst of all that, Harry announced he was going on a full World Tour starting in Europe, in March 2018, only to end in California mid-June.

Harry has this little special gift at making every person in the giant room that is either an amphitheater or a stadium feel absolutely welcome to who they are and what they believe in. Over the years and through the releasing of songs, Harry has grown to become so comfortable with who he is, and it is absolutely addicting to watch.

Harry thrives off the knowing facts that his fans are loved and his fans are loving his shows. He is there to perform, and perform he does.

Harry has grown and been in the spotlight for, what seems to be, the majority of his life now. He's gone through those "punk kid" phase where everyone thought he would fizzle out after releasing only pop radio played music, but he has ultimately defied the whole stigma.

If anything, his album is worth a listen to. If you can (heaven forbid I ask this) bear to listen to a One Direction album, then listen to Harry Styles album (even two or three songs) you will see the substantial growth and leap of faith he has taken.

If you watch videos from his first concert and compare them to videos of him at his last concert, his confidence in himself and his abilities have absolutely skyrocketed. To me, that is unbelievable because it's something I didn't even know could be improved upon until it happened.

To anybody with some common sense, music has always been one of the key things that have and can bring everybody together no matter the circumstances.

Music has the ability to bring together total strangers for that small amount of time and feel like they all belong.

Throughout the two lucky hours I got to spend basking in the presence and persona of Harry Styles, I can say that I am no stick short of impressed. I am blown away and also not at all surprised by the feelings of euphoria he hits and the touches of absolute love he gives off.

I am lucky to be who I am and to stand where I stand when it comes to him and his music. Of course, I must respect the fact that he is not for everyone. But as I always say, music is always worth a shot if you let yourself try to like it.

Harry Styles is one to watch. He gives off a performance of his life each and every night and he is so impressed with what he does. If you need a moment of love, appreciation, and feeling of belonging, he is the way to go. He's always there.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
