The Concert Of A Lifetime: Head Full of Dreams Tour

Because in a 'sky full of stars,' Coldplay is the brightest one in the sky.

The Concert Of A Lifetime: Head Full of Dreams Tour
Jordyn Stupp

There was a sky full of stars for me the other night, but no, not real stars, confetti stars. In that moment, I felt pure joy and found a state of serenity within myself. I have Coldplay to thank for that.

As my family and I drove up to the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California, my excitement for the night ahead grew. That rush I get at concerts was starting to form. I have wanted to see Coldplay in concert for years. Their music is freeing and colorful and whenever I listened to their songs, I was either brought to tears from the beauty and meaningfulness of the song or brought to my feet to dance the night away.

I was expecting an incredible concert. I was expecting to dance and have fun and sing. My expectations were correct and the concert even was able to exceed my expectations. I felt a sense of freedom and peace as I watched the beautiful colors displayed on the screen, or as I watched Chris Martin run around the stage and having the time of his life. It was the perfect concert.

I am a concert junkie. I love concerts and have lost track of the amount of them I have seen. But, with that being said, the Coldplay concert is one that will always be one of the absolute best shows I've ever seen.

I had a very emotional time when Chris Martin started to sing "Fix You." That's a song I have found myself crying to in moments when I never thought I would be happy, in moments when I was the happiest I ever thought I could be, and just in moments where I needed a good cry. As I became emotional and teary-eyed watching and listening to them play the song, I witnessed a beautiful moment between a father and son in front of me. The father was holding his son in his arms and weeping. I couldn't see the sons face, but because of the true and raw emotion the father was expressing, and the tight hug the son was giving his father, I can only imagine that the son was emotional as well. It was absolutely beautiful and touching. Even though with my very curious tendencies, I so badly want to know the exact reason why they were so emotional, I also am just trying to respect the moment and remember the beautiful relationship between the father and son. I realized that other people have the same type of emotions and feelings as I do towards a song and the band itself.

On top of the emotional moments from the sad songs like "Fix You" and "The Scientist," I also found myself dancing and never wanting to stop. From older songs like "Viva La Vida" to the newer songs like "Hymn for the Weekend," my feet never stopped jumping up and down to the rhythm of the music.

For all of those people out there who don't find themselves being concert goers, but love music, they need a find a way to change that. Live music is incredible and you will always remember hearing your favorite bands live, whereas you might not remember listening to your favorite song on your phone when you are lying in bed. Live music is incredible and special, and I know I take every opportunity I can to go to a concert or a festival, and I believe any person who is fan of any type of music should do the same.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
