Every time I go to a country concert, I fall more "head over boots" for country music. If you take a moment to gather in your surroundings, you can see that everyone is vibing with one another and you can sense a shared love for getting lost in Margaritaville...

As country music is blaring through the speakers, you can see country music fans getting amped at the thought of taking a back road with the windows down and the music cranked up loud. You can easily tell that these people enjoy an ice cold beer on a Friday night and a pair of jeans that fit just right.

You're not at just some ordinary concert. No, you've just entered red cup country.

Fill your cups up and let's proceed to party.

Here are 8 reasons why country red cup country dominates the concert scene:

1. Country tailgates

You can meet some of the rowdiest people at tailgates. Country tailgates are no exception. The epitome of "American Kids" is having a large truck, an American flag, cornhole, beer pong, and beer—

lots and lots of beer.

2. The outfits

You can spot a country music fan from a mile away. How? Just look at their outfit. A dead giveaway to spotting a country music fan is if they're wearing something 'Merica af, a bandana, cowboy boots, flannel, jeans, jean shorts, lace, camo, floral, a cowboy hat, or even a baseball cap. I think that about covers it.

3. The people

They love their country and country music. They're as free as bald eagles. With a 'living for today like there is no tomorrow' mentality, they are daring and spontaneous. Ultimately, they know they aren't here for a long time, but a good time. I can drink to that.

4. The beer

Did someone say beer? Beer and country music go together like Faith Hill and Tim McGraw. A match made in country heaven, right? Whether you sip on it nonchalantly, shotgun it, or bong it, as long as you have it, you're happy. What's even better is that the country singers love a cold one just as much as we do. Bottoms up, my friends. Let's drink to those who are saving our asses overseas.

5. The music

Must I say more? The music is spectacular. Whether it be about love, finding a tractor sexy, beer, or even a combination of it all, you know you're right there chugging...I mean, singing along.

6. Country boys

Let's all take a second and thank god for gracing us with Sam Hunt, Thomas Rhett, Luke Bryan, Jake Owen, Billy Currington, Eric Church, Dierks Bentley, Kenny Chesney, and plenty more. These guys know how to keep the party going and it also doesn't hurt that they're easy on the eyes.

7. Country girls

Carrie Underwood is one of the leading ladies of country music. Just like her, the other ladies of country music are bold, fiery, and unstoppable. They are drop dead gorgeous and have killer pipes. They too know how to keep the party going and how to strut their stuff.

8. Unity

Whether it be a slow or very meaningful song, country music fans have this sense of unity where they all come together. They bring out their phones to turn their flashlights on or sway with others to the song as if they've known each other for years.


I don't know about you, but all this country concert talk has me ready to go to another country concert so I can bask in its glory again. No matter how much I get, this will forever be true, I'm always craving you, country music.

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.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
