Oh Lorde, My First Concert Was An Experience I'll Never Forget

Haiden VanDerlaske

Music can speak to you. It’s not just about the artist or their latest album. Their lyrics hold a power over you that transcends into your mind and evokes feelings that you didn’t know you had. Artists strive to get you to feel things and relate to their lyrics. Concerts bring a live viewing of those feelings.

Recently, I was able to go to my first ever concert. It was during my birthday weekend and Lorde - one of my favorite artists — had a show at the Key Arena in Seattle. I had bought my tickets way back in October when she first announced her Seattle show. I, along with three of my closest friends, went and had a blast at her show.

Buzzcut Season - Pure Heroine

Explosions on TV, and all the girls with heads inside a dream / So now we live beside the pool, where everything is good

Liability - Melodrama

They say, "You're a little much for me / You're a liability/ You're a little much for me" / So they / pull back, make other plans / I understand, I'm a liability

400 Lux - Pure Heroine

I love these roads where the houses don't change (and I like you) / Where we can talk like there's something to say (and I like you)

Supercut - Melodrama

Cause in my head, in my head, I do everything right / When you call I'll forgive and not fight / All the moments I play in the dark / Wild and fluorescent, come home to my heart

Love Club - Pure Heroine

The only problem that I got with the club / Is how you're severed from the people who watched you grow up

Team - Pure Heroine

We live in cities you'll never see on screen / Not very pretty, but we sure know how to run things / Livin' in ruins of a palace within my dreams / And you know we're on each other's team

Writer In The Dark - Melodrama

Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark / Now she's gonna play and sing and lock you in her heart

The Louvre - Melodrama

Our thing progresses, I call and you come through / Blow all my friendships to sit in hell with you / But we're the greatest, they'll hang us in the Louvre / Down the back, but who cares, still the Louvre

Green Light - Melodrama

But honey I'll be seein' you down every road / I'm waiting for it, that green light, I want it

Lorde, you’re doing amazing sweetie.

You can listen to "Pure Heroine" and "Melodrama" on iTunes and Spotify.

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.

Whether you grew up going to the lake, have only recently started going, or have only been once or twice, you know it takes a certain kind of person to be a lake person. To the long-time lake people, the lake holds a special place in your heart, no matter how dirty the water may look.

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.

There's no other place you'd rather be in the summer.

A bad day at the lake is still better than a good day not at the lake.

You know the best beaches and coves to go to.

You have no patience for the guy who can't back his trailer into the water right.

The cooler is always packed, mostly with beer.

Giving the idiot who goes 30 in a "No Wake Zone" a piece of your mind.

You have no problem with peeing in the water.

You know the frustration of getting your anchor stuck.

Watching in awe at the bigger, better boats that pass by.

Knowing any swimsuit that you own with white in it is best left for the pool or the ocean.

The momentary fear for your life as you get launched from the tube.

You're able to go to the restaurants by the water wearing minimal clothing.

Having unexpected problems with your boat.

Having a name for your boat unique to you and your life.

There's no better place you'd rather be in the summer.
