The Six People You Meet At Concerts

We are a little bit the same.

The Six People You Meet At Concerts
Katlin Whitmoyer

If you've ever been to a music festival, you've definitely found yourself surrounded by hundreds of strangers. These hundreds of strangers may all look different, but they all fit in one of these categories:

1. The Dedicated Fan

This person has their set list in hand at all times. The watch around their wrist keeps them moving after every song. They'll be at the front of the stage passionately screaming every line in every song. Horns up in the air screaming for an encore. If you need to know who's playing when, ask them!

2. The Stoner

This person is usually easier to smell than see. You'll find them in the crowd bobbing their heads talking about how much they love life and everyone around them... or asking silly questions.

3. The Hype Guy/Girl

This person is usually screaming whether necessary or not. They are begging all their friends to hurry up to make it to the next set all while jabbering about how excited they are. They also may or may not be encouraging more alcohol consumption while jumping up and down screaming "It's lit!"

4. The "I'm only here because my friends asked me to come" person

They've probably spent the majority of every set on their phone texting other people or looking up who the band is. Standing quietly in the crowd nodding their head through each song, they may be regretting agreeing to go, but at least, it's a photo op.


5. The person who overdid it

These people are the easiest to spot. Check the edges of tents to find the guy/girl whose friends are still going strong, but they might think they can taste colors. Their head is between their legs or they are looking straight ahead seemingly horrified by the vendor next to them. Someone bring this kid some water.

6. The "I F*cking Love Concerts" patron

These people are perhaps the best (and I'm not just saying that because this is my category!). They love every aspect of the events around them. You might want to put your hands up to help them crowd surf before they fall on your head. Look out for them in the mosh pit. They are way too hype to be running in a circle. They make it to every band that they love and some they don't — just to enjoy the energy. Don't fear their crazy antics, they'll hoist you up on top of the crowd too and make sure you make it out alive!

Whichever person you may be, remember concert and festival goers, have a blast! And don't forget your exit buddy!

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.
