Buying A Concert Ticket As Told By GIFs

It's here. The day you've been waiting weeks for. Ever since your favorite musician's new album has come out, you've spent hours memorizing every guitar riff, key change and lyric. You know in your heart that this album means a tour is coming. And you know that a tour means seeing your favorite musician sing your favorite song live. So the tickets are on sale. What do you do?

1. Scramble to the nearest computer

You realize that everyone everywhere loves this musician and that means everyone wants those tickets. In your excitement, you sprint to the nearest laptop/desktop/ any form of technology to get you to the ticket website.

2. Frantically type in the website's address

Speed is key in beating all the other hopeful concert-goers. Using your type-to-learn skills you masterfully pound out the musician's website and click the option for the on sale tickets.


3. Search the list of dates for one in your city

It has never been harder to make sense of words and numbers. You scroll through cities, some too small to even deserve to be graced with the presence of your fave. You find your city and look at the date. You realize you can make the date and thank the gods above and click purchase.


4. Freak out when the website lags

You've been lucky so far, but as you click, the website takes a bit longer than .05 seconds to move to the next screen. You immediately panic. There are too many people trying to buy tickets. You're convinced you'll never get a ticket.

5. Panic when tickets are sold out

You worked so hard. You got so far and the giant block letters spelling your defeat sting. You refuse to give up, though.


6. Explore Ticketmaster or Stub Hub, hoping they still have tickets available

You cross your fingers as you find the concert date in your town and scroll through the tickets available. Thankfully, there are still some left for purchase.


7. Have a quick meltdown at the price of tickets

In all your excitement about some tickets still being left, you sort of forget about how expensive they would be. Yep, that is a comma in the price. You take some deep breaths and try and rationalize the expense.


8. Accept that the price is worth the greatest night of your life

You've got a job, and maybe your parents will chip in and pay you back. Regardless, it's worth it to see your favorite musician live. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity, right?


9. Proceed to check out

Celebrating your success when finally securing a ticket, and feeling only slightly heartbroken about the big dent about to happen to your bank account, you shell out your credit card info and get ready to confirm your purchase.


10. Buy the ticket!


You did it! All your hard work paid off, and your ticket is on its way to you! Now all you have left to do is wait six months until the concert.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
