Before You Buy A General Admission Ticket, Make Sure You Know What You're Getting Into

Get ready to throw some elbows.

Recently, I got the chance to go see one of my favorite rappers in concert, and while it was one of the best experiences I will ever have, I still have a few complaints as to why I will never attend a "general admission" concert again.

First of all, I am not one who will let someone push me around, not verbally, and especially not physically and I honestly thought that I was going to end up in a brawl on multiple occasions. There were some people who would come in late, and start pushing from the back to get through to the front, and it was just aggravating. I mean, if you wanted a better spot you shouldn't have come in late, duh.

I am also not a fan of physical contact. It was honestly my worst nightmare. I was stuck in an enclosed space, skin-to-skin with so many strangers. Oh, and let's not forget that everyone was hot and sweaty, and overall just flat-out gross.

Also, my feet hurt so bad! I mean, I realized that general admission meant I'd be on my feet the whole time, so I thought I had prepared myself with closed-toe, no-heel shoes, but no. Going into the third hour I wanted to sit on the ground regardless of how nasty I could only imagine it was down there.

If we're being honest here, I was miserable for quite some time while stuck in this basement-like theater with no cell service, but when the real show started it made up for every experience that was making the night so bad.

I definitely don't regret going, but I will say that if the opportunity for another general admission concert ever comes up you will not catch me there.

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.
