Most Of My Money Goes To Concerts And That Is OK

An indescribable feeling that never is forgotten.

Most Of My Money Goes To Concerts And That Is OK

Sixteen concerts later and I will continue to save for more.

Most people call me crazy. They wonder why I spend so much money on something that only lasts a few hours. The person singing doesn't know I'm there so what's the point?

Here's the point:

At a concert, I am nothing but happy. There is no better feeling than being in a huge crowd of people singing some of your favorite songs with a friend or two. You get to get dressed up, take cute pictures and then on your way you go. You get your ticket scanned, find your seat and you can't help but look around. Each concert goes by and the number of people in the stands is crazy. Obviously, you expect a lot of people but the reality of it, it is a different feeling.

And then you wait. You jam out to the songs playing before. You sometimes debate on getting food or going to the bathroom but you're scared you will miss the start.

Then, the lights go out. Your stomach drops, your heart beats faster and the spotlights start to circulate. The stage lights come on and the beat starts to play. You look around and the whole crowd is on their feet chanting the name of the singer. The concert begins and the bass feels like it literally is in your throat. You sing at the top of your lungs dancing and sometimes find yourself dancing with strangers.

The concert ends and right away post concert depression starts. You watch your videos a thousand times but it still is not the same.

But yet, people still ask why go to so many when that money could be used for something else?

Because (at least in my opinion), each concert is something you will never get to relive. I have seen Demi Lovato three times and One Direction three times and not one of the concerts was the same. The thrill is always different, the vibe is different and nine times out of ten the music is different. Going to a concert is a moment of a lifetime. It is like an escape from reality once in a while and it is an indescribable feeling.

I spend most of my money on concert tickets and that is OK. One day I won't be able to go to these concerts. One day, I won't have time to go to these concerts. I spend money on these concerts because it is my escape. The feeling is unreal and seeing your favorite artists live is so different than listening to them on your phone.

If you have never been to a concert, try to go to one. Save up or ask for a ticket for a special event. You will never forget it and I promise, it is one of the best feelings in the world.

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.
