Country Concerts In Illinois For Summer 2K16

Lindsay Floyd

One of my favorite things about spending the summer back in Illinois would be all of the country concerts that happen all summer long. From small concerts like the Mattoon Bagelfest to the Illinois State Fair, you know there is always someone good playing here in Illinois. That being said, here's a list of concerts that will be happening in Illinois this summer!

1. June 17: Chase Rice

To start your summer concert bucket list off, on Friday June 17th Chase Rice will be playing at the Illinois State Fair Grounds in Springfield. I have personally seen him twice, once as an opening act and once as a headline. I definitely advise going to see him!

2. June 25: Jimmy Buffett

On Saturday June 25th, Jimmy Buffett will be playing at the Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre in Tinley Park.

3. July 8: Gary Allan

On Friday July 8th, Gary Allan will be playing at the Morgan County Fair Grounds in Jacksonville. This will definitely be a concert I try to go to! Personally I've always wanted to see Gary Allan so I'm sure this will be a great concert!

4. July 9: Brantley Gilbert

After Gary Allan's concert, take a nice drive from Jacksonville to Tinley Park on July 9th to see Brantley at the Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre. I have tons of friends who have seen Brantley live and they all say he's well worth the money.

5. July 23: Chase Bryant

At the Bagelfest, Chase Bryant will be headlining in Mattoon. Head over to Eastern Illinois for some good bagels and great entertainment.

6. July 24: Kenny Rogers

On Sunday July 24th, Kenny will be playing at the Ravinia Pavilion in Highland Park.

7. July 29: Miranda Lambert

On Friday July 29th, Miranda will be playing at the Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre in Tinley Park as well.

8. August 6: Eric Paslay

On Saturday August 6th, Eric Paslay will be headlining at the Logan County Fair in Lincoln.

8. August 7: Rascal Flatts

On Sunday August 7th, head back to Tinley Park to see Rascal Flatts.

9. August 12-21: Illinois State Fair

Wrap up your summer by heading out to the Illinois State Fair in Springfield to see Jake Owen with Old Dominion on Sunday August 14th, Dierks Bentley on the 16th and Cole Swindell on the 20th.

Of course this barely touches all of the concerts that will be happening this summer but you get the idea. I hope everyone finds this useful and stays safe while traveling to see your favorite country artists this summer!

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

SUNY Binghamton

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Student Life

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
