The Front Row Experience

You don't know what you're missing.

The Front Row Experience

Ever been to a concert and get stuck in the back? Or do you go to concerts that only have assigned seating? Maybe you don't like crowds or just want to sit and relax, listening to the music. However, you're missing an amazing opportunity when you skip the front and head towards the back.

The energy.

There is a certain electric energy that comes from standing front row at a concert. You obviously paid for your ticket so you know that you like who's playing. Yes, everyone stands too close for comfort but that, coupled with the booming of the music, is exhilarating.

The comradery.

There is a certain bond to be had when standing outside of the venue for hours at a time with other people, like you, who want to be at the front. They can be people from all walks of life, with some amazing concert experiences to share. You'll laugh, you'll make momentary friends, and you'll have someone to turn to in the middle of the concert and say "isn't this f***ing awesome?!" You can't get that sitting in a seat or waiting at the end of a long line just to get in.

Interaction with the entertainment.

This is by far my favorite part of being in the front row. The front row allows you access to the person running the show! They'll high five you, fist bump you, throw guitar picks for you to catch, etc. Who doesn't want to be looked in the eye and sung to by their favorite artist? If you don't, then you clearly don't like them that much. It's an interaction that you'll never get sitting in the back.

You don't miss a thing.

You know that YouTube video you saw of your favorite singer signing something and throwing it out to the crowd? Or maybe he tripped on stage and made a joke about it? You miss ALL of that from sitting in the back or in a seat.

Awesome pictures.

We live a life where we share everything on social media. How cool would it be to get a picture of your favorite singer looking directly at you and your camera? That's a shot you just can't get sitting in the back.

It's worth the wait. The front row can get a little messy, your shoes will get sticky, and people will bump into you left and right, but think of the amazing story you'll be able to tell when you can tell people that DJ Ashba, Nikki Sixx, James Michael, Billy Currington all high fived you. Or that From Ashes to New let you sing into their mic once. Or that you have guitar picks from your favorite band sitting in your room. It's just a feeling that you can't get anywhere else. So go ahead, get in line 4 hours early, and enjoy your next show in the front row!

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.
