Florida Georgia Line Shows How 'Anything Goes' On Their Smooth Tour
Florida Georgia Line

To me, country music is where it's at. I love going to country concerts because the atmosphere is amazing, and people are just letting loose and having a good time listening to some great music.

On July 7th, I went to Fenway Park for Florida Georgia Line's Smooth Tour. Not only did they perform, but fellow country singer, Chris Lane, opened the concert followed by rapper, Nelly. Before FGL came on, 90's boy band, The Backstreet Boys (BSB) performed their hit songs.

Before I delve into the concert as a whole, I should mention that it was raining when my friends and I got into Boston. This was also my first concert at Fenway Park. However, the rain didn't stop my excitement for the concert.

So, on to Chris Lane, the first performer of the night. I only knew two songs: "Fix," and "For Her." Other than that, he was alright. I don't think he is that good of a live singer. His song, "For Her," there are high notes in the song that I don't think he could reach. He only sang four songs before leaving the stage.

Rapper Nelly was the next to perform and I knew of him when he was featured in FGL's hit song, "Cruise." Surprising, I knew a lot of his songs like, "Ride Wit Me," and "Just a Dream" just to name a few. I really liked Nelly, and his stage presence. I could tell he was having so much fun performing for the concert goers.

Now onto the third performer of the night and they were the Backstreet Boys. Let me tell you they still got it! They too were having so much fun. The boy band opened up with "Larger than Life."

Other songs they performed were: "I Want It That Way" and "As Long As You Love Me." They performed others but these were the songs that I knew. I would definitely go see them again; they were that good!

Before everyone knew it, FGL came on to party with us. FGL opened up my favorite song by them which was "Anything Goes." Fireworks went off, and it was the perfect song to start their set off with because it was a Friday night. The lyrics go: Anything goes on a Friday night/ get your party right, it's a Friday night.

As any concert goer knows, the performer(s) always engage with the crowd. Tyler Hubbard, who makes up one-half of the country duo, said that fours years ago they performed at the House of Blues right across the street from Fenway.

He later said that they toured the famous baseball park and imagined them playing at Fenway one day. Well, their dream came true.

They sang "Dig your Roots," "Holy," "Round Here," and "Sippin' On Fire." They sang "May We All" which is another one of my favorite songs by the duo.

FGL sang another new hit song which is "God, your Mama, and Me." The duo didn't sing this song themselves, The Backstreet Boys are featured in this song too and made another appearance on stage later on.

After the 90's boy band left the stage, the boys continued doing their thing until I realized that the most fun night was about to end.

On the radio, commercials kept advertising the the Smooth Tour and saying that Backstreet Boys would be performing. The BSB song "Everybody" was the song in the advertisements.

What strikes me as odd was the boys never sang that song until FGL mentioned their first concert they ever went to. Brian Kelley, the other half of the hit duo, said his first concert was the BSB.

Both Hubbard and Kelley started singing "Everybody" which signaled the BSB to come on stage to help them out with the song! Everybody was singing the song. The song FGL ended with was "Cruise" and Nelly came out to sing again.

After going to many concerts for the past seven years, I realized that this was hands down the best concert I have ever been too. The atmosphere at Fenway was an atmosphere where I never wanted the party to end.

If you ever have the chance to see FGL in concert, take that chance because they are amazing live. I would see them again the next time they're in town.

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.
