6 Things Not To Do At A Concert

You'll thank me later.

6 Things Not To Do At A Concert
Jamie Whitson

If you love concerts, like me, then you know what you should and shouldn't do at a concert... Hopefully. However, there always seems to be those people who don't have a clue. For those of you who need a little help, here are six things not to do at a concert.


1. Don't show up late.

You'll likely be the last person in line, and you might miss your favorite band. (Also, good luck finding a parking spot.) You'll be at the back of the room, and what fun is it standing behind a tall person and having no view of the band you spent a fortune to see? None.

2. Don't be a crazy fan girl.

No one wants a crazy fan screaming, crying, and/or hanging all over them. Can you say unattractive? Play it cool. They're normal people just like you. No need to have an asthma attack because you just saw your favorite singer.

3. Don't get in front if you can't handle it.

If you can't deal with the non-breathing, closed in, pushed around, knocked over, and intense people in the front, then you might as well go to the back. Rock concerts get insane sometimes, but no one wants a person at the front freaking out because someone bumped into them.

You will get claustrophobic, and you may spaz out some when a person comes out of nowhere and kicks you in the head (it's happened to me plenty of times), but you just have to go with it. Crowd surfers will be crowd surfers. They don't care who they hit or where.

4. Don't get dehydrated.

You will get thirsty, and you will feel like you're dying if you don't hydrate. Try being at a concert for hours in a hot, sweaty room while screaming your lungs out to the song lyrics... You will fade very fast if you don't hydrate. Many people pass out because it's like being in the 100-degree heat all day with no water. Don't let that be you.

5. Don't wear uncomfortable clothes.

So many times I see girls in nothing but bras and tiny skirts or shorts riding up their butts. Does that really make you feel comfortable? Because it just makes me cringe. Don't try so hard. You're only impressing yourself. Wear a comfy set of pants or shorts and a t-shirt or tank, and wear some decent shoes. (You'll thank me later.)

6. Don't assume you have a front-row spot, even if you're VIP.

People will shove you out of the way to get to the front of the stage. You might be at the front at first, but when a heavy band comes, that front row spot might not be an option anymore. Concert crowds are vicious.

Overall, just be pratical and prepared. It will make the concert experience much more enjoyable for you and everyone else.

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.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. 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.
