The 10 Stages Of Grief When Your Favorite Band Doesn’t Go On Tour Near You

We all have those bands that we’d see over and over again. What makes it hard, however, is when said bands are from another country and only come to the United States every once in a while. What’s worse, however, is when your favorite band does a tour but fails to stop anywhere near where you actually live. Here are the 10 stages of grief that you go through when your favorite band does a U.S. tour, but doesn’t actually have any shows near you.

1. Excitement. Yay! They’re going on tour!


2. Happiness. I get to see them again! I didn’t think this would actually happen, especially since they’re a foreign band.

3.Hope. I know that they have to be coming to Dallas…or Kansas City…maybe Oklahoma City? No?

4. Confusion. But, but, but… How can they come all of the way to the United States and not come near where I live? Ugh. How dare they?

5. Motivated. I’ll do whatever it takes to see them. WHATEVER IT TAKES!

6. Realization. You realize that you have obligations to life and can’t drop everything to fly across the country for one night.

7. Hurt. Love hurts. What a tease. Why did they do this to me?

8. Denial. I’m probably just reading the list wrong, right? There has to be a show near me.

9. Depression. All I wanted to do was see them again and my dreams are crushed. How am I supposed to go on like this?

10. Hope. The only thing stronger than fear is hope. Maybe they’ll add some tour dates to a city near me!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
