Concert Etiquette Tips You Don't Want to Miss

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!

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
