'Don't Leave Your Hair Untamed,' And 6 Other Concerts Dont's

It's common courtesy.

'Don't Leave Your Hair Untamed,' And 6 Other Concerts Dont's
Cara LeighAnn Anderson

I have been to a fair share of concerts. In the last year, I have been to seven and counting. The same things annoyed me at all of these shows. I am sure my fellow concert-goers can attest to these seven concert dont's.

1. Don't Leave Your Hair Untamed

Nothing is worse than having someone else's hair on you. It is almost even more irritating to have someone hit you in the face with their hair. If you've got rather long hair, it is going to get stuck to the people around you especially if your'e whipping it around. That is just gross. Put it in a bun or something.

2. Don't Use Your Flash

Not only is it rude to the performer, it is probably ticking everyone around you off, as well. It in people's eyes and its messing up other people's pictures... which leads me to number three...

3. Don't Record The Entire Show

We get it, you want some pictures and maybe you want a few videos. But when you never put your phone down, it becomes a problem.

4. Don't Block Other People's View

Some of us are not as blessed when it comes to height. So to all of the folks 5'8 and above, some of us are barely tall enough to see over the barricade, much less you. Be courteous.

5. Don't Yell Out Song Requests

The setlist is almost always predetermined. Yelling out songs you want to hear probably isn't going to make a difference.

6. Don't Complain About Space


No one in the crowd has any personal space. You all in the same boat. If you want space, go to the back of the crowd. With that being said, don't be the person to purposely smother people in hopes of getting two inches closer to the stage.

7. Don't Chant

This is the most annoying thing to me, personally. There is a schedule they are running on. The band will not come out just because the crowd is chanting their name. In addition, they plan an encore. They are going to come back out on stage to do their most popular songs whether you scream at the top of your lungs or not.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
