Live music isn't just for us youngsters.

11 Types Of People You'll Find At A Concert
Lollapalooza

Although live music is incredible and truly phenomenal, half of the experience is the people you come across. So next time you're at a show, feel free to try and pick out these individuals in the crowd. (It's like real life 'Where's Waldo')

1. The first-timer

These individuals are always easy to pick out because they normally look like a chicken running around with their head cut off. Please approach with caution because chances are they'll burst into tears if shoved too harshly.

2. The parent

Normally accompanying a minor. Chances are, they're either bored out of their mind or are rocking out with the rest of the parents in the venue. If you're interested in spotting one, they can most likely be found in the back of the room, ready to swoop in and grab their child if they get the smallest whiff of marijuana.

3. The social media enthusiast

They spend 98% of the show trying to pick out the best filter for their killer "concert selfie" to post on Instagram. If seen, do not be afraid to hop in the frame of their recording or sing obnoxiously to ruin their audio (I mean, you're paying for a LIVE performance, so why waste it hiding behind your phone screen?).

4. The drunk

Normally sighted dancing on the side of the room, beer running down their shirt and pants. Don't be surprised if one approaches you and asks to dance (chances are they won't remember the interaction by tomorrow, so might as well go for it).

5. The mosh-er

They'll start it off by bumping shoulders with the people around them. Then, slowly, they'll start to throw a few elbows and head bang just a bit too vigorously. But please just know that once the bass drops, all hell will break loose.

6. The love birds

A two in one package. They are more focused on each other rather than the show. Odds are, they'll be swapping spit by the third song.

7. The vertically gifted

There is always that one guy who is front row at a show and ruins the experience for everyone else (you know who you are).

8. The screamer

These type of people will have the urge to scream every lyric at the top of their lungs. They won't care that they sound like a dying walrus, just as long as they're the loudest person there (but they are DEFINITELY the most entertaining to say the least).

9. The exhibitionist

As an avid concert-goer, please listen closely: flashing band members is NOT a thing anymore, so please refrain from doing so (especially if it is at a One Direction gig).

10. The grandpa

They'll stick out like a fish out of water. But don't let their canes or life alerts around their necks fool you. These guys know how to rock it.

11. The fan girls

These individuals are easy to spot out because they'll be decked out in the bands merchandise. If you're lucky, you may witness one in the middle of existential crisis two minutes before the headliner comes on.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
