Rascal Flatts to Perform in Raleigh

So Much to Do, So Little Time!

Tuesday, April 13th, 2010

As we all know, the end of the school year makes for some stressful times, but it also makes for some of the craziest times of the year.  The anticipation of the summer coming up and saying goodbye to some friends for a few months, we are all trying to cram in as many memories as possible in such a short amount of time.

In Raleigh there is always something to do alone or with friends to make great memories.  From shopping, to parks, to bars and clubs, Raleigh is the ideal place for many people.  April and May are packed full of many concerts in Raleigh and at least one artist performing is sure to suit anyone’s taste.  Nickelback, Taylor Swift, Jack Johnson, and John Mayer are just a handful of artists performing within the next few months.

Even if you decide not to go out on the town, there will be parties, parties, and more parties these last few weeks of school.  There is no excuse for you to stay in every day and night, unless you have exams or finals the next day.  Whatever you decide to do, make the most out of it, and remember that college is supposed to be the most memorable time of our lives!

Taylor Swift to Perform in Raleigh

Tuesday, March 30th, 2010

On May 1st  Taylor Swift is performing in Raleigh at the RBC Center, with a guest appearance by Kellie Pickler.  This past year we have all watched Taylor Swift achieve her dreams and rise to the top right in front of our eyes.  She has sustained her position at the top of the charts, and has received more nominations and awards than most of her older competitors.    Her FEARLESS Tour’s concert in Madison Square Garden sold OUT within 60 seconds, not to mention the entire tour within a few minutes. Regardless of all the fame Taylor has recently achieved, she is able to stay strong and remain “fearless” like her current album.

Taylor says, “To me, fearless isn’t not having fears.  It’s not that you’re not afraid of anything.  I think that being fearless is having a lot of fears, but you jump anyway.”

The quote makes perfect sense coming from such a successful young woman, who literally had to jump head first if she wanted to reach all of her goals.  FEARLESS speaks of the realities of life.  It talks about love, family, friendships, and life in general.  She says that her songs are a part of her that she will never hold back on, and everything in her lyrics is real.

Give it up for Taylor Swift and for her “fearlessness” to reach her dreams, and enjoy the amazing performance!
