A Tribute To Live Music

"There is only one thing better than music — live music." ~ Jacek Andrzej Bukowski

A Tribute To Live Music
Georgette Rivera, Drake and Future Summer '16 Tour

There is no better feeling in the world than standing in front of a stage and hearing live music be played right in front of you. The speakers pound with noise, and emotions pour off the stage. For some, this sounds absolutely terrifying and dreadful. For the people that are like me, this is a dreamy feeling — a dreamy, irreplaceable feeling.

The best thing ever is the wave of anticipation that sweeps across a crowd before a band walks on stage. As the lights begin to dim, craziness consumes the waves surrounding people. All across the venue, audience members stand up and suddenly the stage turns to blackness ... BOOM! Bright lights burst from the stage and music fades in, welcoming the audience in the most exhilarating way possible.

From waiting in line to get your ticket scanned to joyously walking out of the venue and already missing the concert that just ended moments ago, the ambiance of a concert is completely immersing and thrilling.

Only good vibes radiate as the band is on stage. You and everyone around you is living in the now, listening to the live music that we all mutually enjoy. That's one of my favorite things about live music. Everyone is there for the same reason! We all enjoy the artist and the atmosphere of a concert.

If you have been to a concert and have seen a band devote their existence to playing their own music, you have witnessed passion in the rawest form. The art of making and performing music is not easy. Often, we allow ourselves to enjoy music but not appreciate the work, struggles and obstacles that musicians endured in the process. An excessive amount of work is put into the making of music, and live music definitely presents you with a greater appreciation of the energy and commitment that goes into the creation of those catchy beats, riffs and melodies.

Concerts make for hella great times and timeless memories. Not only do you have a good time and make good memories, but you meet new people. The enjoyment of live music makes for a great bonding time. You stand around, make friends with the strangers around you and have a good time. What is better than bonding with strangers to live music?

Concerts connect us to different times in our lives. They make for the soundtracks of our lives. We are physically present in the moment at concerts, and we soak in that moment. We soak in the strangers, the weather and the smell of a concert. As we stand in the crowd and see the soul of an artist become a part of ours, we are listening to their story. We listen to their struggles and see their sweat and tears be put into a performance. That is the sight and feeling of a concert. That is the sight and feeling of live music.

This has been a tribute to live music.

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.
