I've been to 3 Drake concerts and I always leave wanting more.

Over the past three or four years, my older sister Tiffany and I have regularly attended concerts throughout Northern Washington. Our concert of choice, however, is undoubtedly Drake. We first saw Drake live for his Nothing Was The Same Tour, then again shortly as he toured with Lil Wayne in Drave VS. Lil Wayne. And then again, last night, Tiffany and I saw Drake on his Revenge tour with Future; the Summer Sixteen tour. If words could accurately sum up how much us Bibeau girls love Drake, I would be writing a lot more than a mere 500 word article. So instead I'll just write about a few highlights that come with attending a Drake concert.

1. Drake interacts with the crowd so well.

Calling out individuals, giving love to fans, and surfing the crowds via flying machinery is only a small aspect of a classic Drake concert. Drake has notoriously given shout-outs to fans in all three of the concerts that I've attended- a sweet touch to an otherwise hype concert.

2. The lights and special effects are LIT.

Drake concerts always come with fireworks, sparkling effects, and as of last night-multi-colored lights that would drop and fall in unique shapes and patterns. I'm always stuck between staring at the man-of-the-hour, or the amazing special effects.

3. The opening-acts/ guest performers Drake brings with him are amazing.

Last night Roy Woods and DVSN opened the concert. Both amazing up and coming musicians that are bound to get some attention from loyal Drake fans. Also, Drake has brought out celebrities such as Rihanna, Eminem, and Lebron James. An extra perk to purchasing Drake tickets is definitely seeing other celebrity favorites.

4. Drake is a humble artist- this shows through his performance.

Unlike some more overly-cocky musicians, Drake is a humble being. Especially last night, Drake and Future were late to perform due to an accident on the freeway, and although unnecessary, it was sweet and kind of Drake to apologize numerous times for the delay.

5. His performances always leave you wanting more.

I still cannot believe how blessed I am to be able to experience a live Drake concert on three separate occasions. But Drake concerts are addicting- the music, the people, the experience as a whole is simply unbeatable.

As a loyal Drake fan, my perceptions of his concerts are clearly biased. But I will say that I often attend concerts put on by other hip-hop/rap artists and Drake's are always the best. So, it's a guarantee that next time Drake is in town, I'll be there. Always.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
