8 Things You're Guaranteed To Overhear At Summer Concerts

Yes, we all know it's hot.

8 Things You're Guaranteed To Overhear At Summer Concerts
Amanda Estrada

It is the wonderful time of the year when classes are finished and your schedule seems to open up just enough for some summer fun. With the new season comes the summer concerts series. I love going to shows, but summer brings up a new set of complications and complaints. Here are just a few of the things you'll overhear at summer concerts.

1. "It is so hot."

Wow, but it's only 100 degrees plus the body heat radiating from everyone who is basically piled on top of you or near you in each and every direction. Why do we do this again? Oh yeah, the music. It's always about the music.

2. "When is it gonna start?"

I mean probably around the time the ticket says it will, but we had to get here 2 hours early to make sure we actually found a standing/seating place. So, we may be inside the venue, but we are nowhere near the actual starting time, so just don't lock your knees and keep holding on.

3. "I am sooo hungry."

ME TOO, WE ALL ARE. LET'S MEET UP AT DENNY'S AFTERWARDS. OK? OK.

4. JUST TALKING DURING THE SHOW

The most wonderful part of any show is when it actually starts. Some people have a tendency to forget that this is their cue to stop talking and let the artists do their thing.

5. Oh and the random yelling

Eventually, the night wears on and people are wasted and the wooing seems to have no end. Eventually, it also dies down usually, but the random shouting is to be expected.

6. You always overhear someone's drama.

The waiting period is so long sometimes that you can't really help but talk about something (or everything) during the intermission and even though sometimes it can be annoying, other times it can be pretty entertaining.

7. How many times the person behind/beside you has seen the band

12 and counting? How do I reach that level of concert dedication and how do you afford it?

8. "I AM SO EXCITED"

And to that I say, "Me too!!!"

Summer concerts are the best memories I've made, despite walking 5k's to get to venues and standing/sitting/ crouching for hours at a time. It's always worth it in the end and even though the heat complicates things slightly, it doesn't take out the fun of the experience.

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.

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.
