The Phoebe Bridgers Concert Experience

I think I actually died and went to heaven.

The Phoebe Bridgers Concert Experience

After waiting almost two entire years to feel something again, I finally went to my first "post-COVID" concert. While I did see Dead and Company the week prior, it was not comparable to the excitement of seeing the one and only, Phoebe F****** Bridgers.

After buying my tickets in early August, I couldn't wait to see her live. I've been listening to Phoebe for about a year now and she's become my top artist of this year. After a breakup, her lyrics felt a little too close to home. The thought of seeing her live and being able to experience these songs in the moment was something I couldn't pass up.

My friend and I got to the venue at around 12 so we could get a good spot. We've always been psychotic concert go-ers, hence getting there 8 hours early for a 2-hour event. We ended up being third row, which unfortunately didn't do much for my height, but I still got a really good view. I forgot how much adrenaline comes with concerts and how you can even get a natural high. The dopamine is just surreal and every penny I paid was 100% worth it.

On the other hand, I've never been to a concert with this much crying. I'm used to moshing or constantly dancing and screaming, but because Phoebe's music is a bit more sad, there were many, MANY tears. I also always forget how good it feels to finally see an artist you look up to in real life. I'm over my major fangirl phase from middle school, but that side of me always comes out when I'm in the crowd.

Her setlist wasn't the longest, but it was still worthwhile. She opened up with her most popular song, "Motion Sickness", and concluded with her blood-rushing "I Know The End". I love looking at setlists, so I did also know she would be having an encore with Bo Burnham's "That Funny Feeling", which I could not wait for. While I did cry, just a bit… yeah… a bit…, her song "Moon Song", was the ultimate killer. Being my most listened to song of the past year (red flag, I know), the experience live was like I astral projected or something. It was insane. I even had people asking me if I was okay -- and if you've heard this song, you know I clearly was not okay.

While this concert may have sent me into a mini depressive episode, I don't regret it for a second. To be honest, too, I think I had a mental reset, in the best way possible. Being able to go to concerts again relit something inside of me and I can't wait to attend the many more I have in line.

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.

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.
