Why You Should See Your Favorite Artist Live
Crown And Shield

There is no better feeling than seeing your favorite artist live. The music we listen to makes us who we are as indiviuals. Live music gives you the opportunity to meet people who appreciate the same music you do. Whether you're a die-hard fan, or just a casual listener, going to a concert is an unforgettable experience. Not even just the concert itself is the thrilling part. Here's seven reasons why.

1. The Happiness You Feel When The Concert Is Announced


Whether you expect it or not, you're guaranteed to be overcome with excitement when you see that your favorite artist is going on tour. And for a moment, you even forget about the fact you have to pay for a ticket because you're just that happy.

2. Counting Down The Days To The Concert

While it may feel like it's taking FOREVER between the time that you bought your ticket and the day of the show, it actually goes faster than you'd assume. The wait makes it all the more exciting, and it's worth it in the end.

3. When The Day Finally Comes

When it's finally the day of the concert, that's all you'll be thinking about. You're full with so much joy and you feel like the time is passing by so slowly because you just want to get in the car/train and be there already. But enjoy it while it lasts. You'll wish you could be back in that moment tomorrow.

4. The People That You Meet


Most of the concerts I go to are general admission, which means I'm waiting in line for a while. During that time, you can meet people that you would have never met if it wasn't for the concert and/or artist. One thing leads to another, you find out you like a lot of other same music, and BAM! Just like that, you're friends for life. And it's so exciting seeing them every time that artist you both loves comes to town!

5. The Atmosphere


I have never felt more at home then when I'm standing in a venue, looking around, and waiting for the show to start. You're in a room full of people of all ages, races, and from all over the country, but you're all there for the same reason: to hear your favorite music live.

6. Finding New Music

While it may be annoying sometimes when you find out there are opening acts that you've never heard at the beginning of the show since you just want the main act to come out. However, most of the time the bands are incredible and you may even find some new music that you'll love! And if not, it'll be fine. Just remember in a few short hours you'll be singing along to your favorite songs.

7. Finally Seeing Your Favorite Artist Live

There is no better feeling then when your favorite artist finally gets on stage, especially if it's your first time seeing them. The first time I saw my favorite band live and heard my all time favorite song is one of my fondest memories. I've seen them live multiple times since, but nothing compares. The artists you watch online and listen to in your headphones are finally in front of you and your worlds collide.

8. Singing and Dancing Along To Your Favorite Songs

You can sing at the top of your lungs and dance along to your favorite songs, all while having no regrets. But your videos after may have you screaming in the background, but it's hysterical to watch back.

9. Possibly Meeting The Artist


Even though it may not happen all the time, there's a possibility you could meet the artist. Especially if you go to a small show, because the acts usually meet people afterwards. Meeting your favorite celebrities is probably one of the best things in the world, along with seeing them live. You can tell them what they mean to you and how much you love them. That is, if you're not too starstruck and unable to speak to them.


In conclusion, live music isn't dead. Nowadays, most people would rather just listen to an artist in their headphones than actually gong to watch them perform. They'll never knowhow much their missing out on. I garuntee you that ALL of your favorite music sounds better live. So next time your favorite artist announces a tour, splurge a little bit and buy yourself a ticket. You won't regret it.

In the words of one of my favorite artists, Tom DeLonge, "music is good when it makes you dance, but music is great when it makes you who you are."

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.
