Two thousand and nineteen.

Do those words send chills down your spine or is it just me? It might be due to the fact that this year is going to be one of the greatest and I’m going to make sure it stays that way. To start off, at this moment, I will be seeing three of my all-time favorite artists in concert over the next 341 days: Dean Lewis in March; The 1975 in May; and Dodie in September! I can’t believe I’m getting the chance to experience the sheer talent of these people IN PERSON and on top of that, I’m going to them with my best friends. Also, (August) 2019 marks the beginning of the end of high school and I could not be happier. School’s a hellhole, there’s no denying it, and getting out of this cramped, stuffy town will be freedom from the 18 years I will have spent stuck here. I will finally be able to pursue what my heart longs for and finally be able to mark my spot in the vast world of the music industry. My efforts from now until whenever are focused wholly on being accepted into Cur College’s music business program and taking my first steps towards creating the future I have dreamed of for years now! Nashville, Tennessee, I’m coming for you, and Belmont University, I will see you in 2020!

There’s just this atmosphere that is created at concerts and it’s the best feeling in the entire world. The energy. The sounds. The knowing that at that moment you are surrounded by hundreds or thousands of people who have been impacted by music just as much as you have. It’s actually insane. That’s actually one of the motivations I have to be a part of the music world. I want to be able to spread that feeling and share the vibe of live music with every single person on this earth. I joined the Girls Behind The Rock Show group on Facebook and through that, I have reached out to several companies about joining their street team or interning with them! It’s felt amazing to start something that is going to have such a major impact on the rest of my life and my career, and it is such an amazing way to get my foot in the door. Not many adults expect teenagers my age (unfortunately) to reach out for information about ways to get involved, so if you are ever in search of internships or are curious about joining a cause, showing initiative is a very, very good thing to do. It shows your passion for something and that you are truly interested in it. So don’t be worried about emailing someone or doing your research, it will all pay off in the end. Promise!
