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!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. 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.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
