Concert Etiquette Tips You Don't Want to Miss
Cara Friedrich

My assumption is that many of you have been to a concert, and probably have stood in a mosh pit or two. Well, I love concerts, but I do not enjoy when others have no respect for me or my space. I am going to give you just a few tips about concert etiquette that will hopefully make you a more pleasant concert goer:

1. Girls with long hair, if you are going to leave it down please do not whip it back and forth into my face.

Tame the mane just a little, I don't need to know the flavor of your shampoo. And also, your hair is getting in the way of my view.


2. If you are more than six-feet tall you most definitely should pay attention to who might be behind you.

I didn't come to the concert to stare into the back of two guys that are 6-foot-5 (which has truly happened to me.) Just try and be considerate of those who might be a little more vertically challenged.

3. I understand you think it will be super cool to throw stuff onto the stage, but let's be real, how often does it actually make it to the stage?

I have been clocked in the head my sunglasses, glow sticks, and many other miscellaneous items. People, people please, it is so not cool. And I am sure the artist getting hit by stuff is not a fan of this either.

4. Now, let's talk about personal space a little bit.

At concerts you kind of have to stand your ground in order to keep your spot because you have people who think they literally can just ram through the crowd to get to the front (as if there aren't people in those spots already.) My suggestion is to wait for places to open up that you can slide up further. Don't elbow people, knock people over, dance into people, or step on people just to advance in placement. It is so rude, and definitely not pleasant for anyone involved.


5. Dudes who think it is a great idea to run around shirtless, don't.

Honestly nobody is excited about standing next to the sweaty, obnoxious, shirtless man. Please do us all a favor and keep your clothes on.

6. Couples who decide the pit is the place to make out excessively, please change your mind.

It is kind of hard to enjoy a concert when you have people next to you macking on each other. Plus, why did you come to the concert if all you wanted to do was make out? I just don't get it people.

I hope these tips help some of you become more considerate concert goers. I love concerts, I mean who doesn't? So, let's make them an awesome experience for everyone!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
