6 Things Not To Do At A Concert

6 Things Not To Do At A Concert
Jamie Whitson

If you love concerts, like me, then you know what you should and shouldn't do at a concert... Hopefully. However, there always seems to be those people who don't have a clue. For those of you who need a little help, here are six things not to do at a concert.


1. Don't show up late.

You'll likely be the last person in line, and you might miss your favorite band. (Also, good luck finding a parking spot.) You'll be at the back of the room, and what fun is it standing behind a tall person and having no view of the band you spent a fortune to see? None.

2. Don't be a crazy fan girl.

No one wants a crazy fan screaming, crying, and/or hanging all over them. Can you say unattractive? Play it cool. They're normal people just like you. No need to have an asthma attack because you just saw your favorite singer.

3. Don't get in front if you can't handle it.

If you can't deal with the non-breathing, closed in, pushed around, knocked over, and intense people in the front, then you might as well go to the back. Rock concerts get insane sometimes, but no one wants a person at the front freaking out because someone bumped into them.

You will get claustrophobic, and you may spaz out some when a person comes out of nowhere and kicks you in the head (it's happened to me plenty of times), but you just have to go with it. Crowd surfers will be crowd surfers. They don't care who they hit or where.

4. Don't get dehydrated.

You will get thirsty, and you will feel like you're dying if you don't hydrate. Try being at a concert for hours in a hot, sweaty room while screaming your lungs out to the song lyrics... You will fade very fast if you don't hydrate. Many people pass out because it's like being in the 100-degree heat all day with no water. Don't let that be you.

5. Don't wear uncomfortable clothes.

So many times I see girls in nothing but bras and tiny skirts or shorts riding up their butts. Does that really make you feel comfortable? Because it just makes me cringe. Don't try so hard. You're only impressing yourself. Wear a comfy set of pants or shorts and a t-shirt or tank, and wear some decent shoes. (You'll thank me later.)

6. Don't assume you have a front-row spot, even if you're VIP.

People will shove you out of the way to get to the front of the stage. You might be at the front at first, but when a heavy band comes, that front row spot might not be an option anymore. Concert crowds are vicious.

Overall, just be pratical and prepared. It will make the concert experience much more enjoyable for you and everyone else.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
