'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.

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.
