Country Concerts In Illinois For Summer 2K16
Lindsay Floyd

One of my favorite things about spending the summer back in Illinois would be all of the country concerts that happen all summer long. From small concerts like the Mattoon Bagelfest to the Illinois State Fair, you know there is always someone good playing here in Illinois. That being said, here's a list of concerts that will be happening in Illinois this summer!

1. June 17: Chase Rice

To start your summer concert bucket list off, on Friday June 17th Chase Rice will be playing at the Illinois State Fair Grounds in Springfield. I have personally seen him twice, once as an opening act and once as a headline. I definitely advise going to see him!

2. June 25: Jimmy Buffett

On Saturday June 25th, Jimmy Buffett will be playing at the Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre in Tinley Park.

3. July 8: Gary Allan

On Friday July 8th, Gary Allan will be playing at the Morgan County Fair Grounds in Jacksonville. This will definitely be a concert I try to go to! Personally I've always wanted to see Gary Allan so I'm sure this will be a great concert!

4. July 9: Brantley Gilbert

After Gary Allan's concert, take a nice drive from Jacksonville to Tinley Park on July 9th to see Brantley at the Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre. I have tons of friends who have seen Brantley live and they all say he's well worth the money.

5. July 23: Chase Bryant

At the Bagelfest, Chase Bryant will be headlining in Mattoon. Head over to Eastern Illinois for some good bagels and great entertainment.

6. July 24: Kenny Rogers

On Sunday July 24th, Kenny will be playing at the Ravinia Pavilion in Highland Park.

7. July 29: Miranda Lambert

On Friday July 29th, Miranda will be playing at the Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre in Tinley Park as well.

8. August 6: Eric Paslay

On Saturday August 6th, Eric Paslay will be headlining at the Logan County Fair in Lincoln.

8. August 7: Rascal Flatts

On Sunday August 7th, head back to Tinley Park to see Rascal Flatts.

9. August 12-21: Illinois State Fair

Wrap up your summer by heading out to the Illinois State Fair in Springfield to see Jake Owen with Old Dominion on Sunday August 14th, Dierks Bentley on the 16th and Cole Swindell on the 20th.

Of course this barely touches all of the concerts that will be happening this summer but you get the idea. I hope everyone finds this useful and stays safe while traveling to see your favorite country artists this summer!

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
