Why You Should See Katy In Concert

She is a real Teenage Dream

Thursday night, I got the opportunity to see Katy Perry live in concert. I’m a Katy Cat, so the idea of going late on a weekday to a three and a half hour concert still seemed to appeal to me.


First off, I sometimes skip the opener, but I was interested in seeing Noah Cyrus perform. She sang about five songs and kept it short and sweet. However, the light show going on behind her was more impressive than her singing.

The lyrics were almost unrecognizable and each tune seemed only a slight variation of one another. There was a cool drum set and drummer backing her up, though, that stole the show. Each time the drum was hit, the geometric shapes on the outside would correspond with the different drum pieces and light up.

There was about a half an hour to fourty five minute wait between the opener and main act. During this time, a huge projection of an eye blinked realisticly over the stage in anticipation of the coming show. Then Katy made her grand entrance rfloating through the air on a star shaped planet.

Every song after that we’re classics like Teenage Dream, Last Friday Night, complete with huge flamingos, Roar, with a moving lion head, Firework, with a firework show projection, And many others. Several costume changes also ensued, one including a dress and headpiece made of genuine diamonds.

Katy had amazing theatrics and props. The backup dancers and singers were also incredible. At one point a male dancer came out and was performing some contortion and flexibility acts, while yet another was swinging around and up a pole shaped as a rose.

Above all, Perry is a wonderful person. She connected wonderfully with the crowd and was very open. Using a comically oversized phone, the singer called her mom to make sure she wasn’t okay sense there are wild fires around where she lives. A man was picked to come on stage and face off one on one against her for a basketball match before performing Swish Swish.

A little girl with crutches was also carried onto stage to get a picture and make a wish upon a floating star (that Katy was previously floating around the room on). The injured girl proceeded to find out her phone had died! So her mother passed down her own phone through the crowd so that the selfie was still possible with the pop star.



I would most definitely go to see another Katy Perry concert if she returns to Detroit or Grand Rapids. I give her use of stage, bold acts (floating around the room, and doing the splits in front of thousands of people), props, and overall kindness an A+.

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.
