The Power Of Concerts

Music is an escape.

Anyone that has been to a concert before knows the feeling when your favorite artist/band comes out on stage, especially if it is your first time seeing them. It is something so surreal. You have spent most of your life watching them on a television, computer, or phone screen and now finally you are in the same room as them.

Over my 18 years I have been lucky enough to have attended multiple concerts of my favorite artists/bands. Some of my favorite artists/bands I have seen and/or met them multiple times. Seeing people that you look up to stand right in front of you and sing your favorite song is something that is so hard to describe unless it has actually happened to yourself.

Concerts have become some kind of an escape for me. The same thing has happened with music. If I am having a bad day, week, month, or year I know I can turn on my music and escape from any bad things that are happening in my life. Concerts just added to that escapism. If I was feeling low in my life I can go to a concert and feel alive and free again. A lot of people use music to escape their everyday troubles and I think that is one of the main reasons why artists continue to do what they do. They love performing and expressing themselves through music, but they also love to see their fans faces light up at a concert or read their reaction through social media.

For anyone that hasn’t been able to see their favorite artist/band, I can only hope that one day you can see them and experience what I have. If you get that opportunity to see your favorite artist/band live in concert, you need to take that as soon as you can because once you enter that concert venue and see your favorite artist/band walk out on stage and see their bright faces, you will feel this overwhelming feeling over happiness.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
