The first concert I've ever attended was Hilary Duff.

Yes, Hilary Duff, as in Lizzie McGuire.

I was about 6 years old and at the time and I was obsessed with Disney and all celebrities from the shows.

While of course, I may not remember much from this concert I can definitely say that this was the start of my obsession.

Concerts have always made me love the performers even more than I did before seeing them live. I've gotten to meet so many new people and see so many cool things.

I love concerts for the craziest reasons.

1. The screaming

You know you had a good time when you wake up the next day with your voice completely gone and your head is pounding. You watch the videos on your phone and you can't even hear the performance because all you hear is your singing and screaming the performers' names.

2. The random bruises

General admission. The best and worst area to be in at a concert. You find yourself constantly being pushed back and forth from the back row to the first row. You've never felt so many elbows bump into your body and your head has been hit by a water bottle at least once.

3. The food

Overpriced junk food is really there for you when you have no energy left. Music festivals always have the best food. They usually have the biggest selection and everything is worth the wait.

4. The people

I've met some really cool people while waiting on line. There are so many different types of people you see at a concert and they're all unique in their own way. It's also really fun to talk to people who enjoy the same music as you.

5. Live performances sound way better

I personally enjoy watching live performances more because I feel more in touch with the music. Sure when you listen to the CD at home you can listen for as long as you want and you're all alone, but it's just a different feeling when it's live.

While concerts may not be for everyone, I think most people should get the chance to experience one. It's a chance to get out of your comfort zone and experience something different.
