General Admission Concerts Are Way Better Than Stadium Concerts

Yeah, you might be sweaty, but what made you think you wouldn't be sweaty?

General Admission Concerts Are Way Better Than Stadium Concerts
Personal

People love concerts. They love the ambiance and the community that surrounds it. Concerts provide fans an opportunity to see the music they love played right in front of their eyes.

Essentially, there are two types of concerts: stadium concerts and general admission concerts.

Stadium concerts are great because they allow for more fans to come and see their favorite artists. My problem with stadium concerts is that you have assigned seats.

Yes, in the name of keeping order, it makes sense, but I don't want to go to a concert if I can't fight my way through the crowd.

That's what I love most about general admission. General admission concerts let you stand off on the outskirts of the crowd and keep your personal space if you choose. But if you really want to fight your way to the barrier, you can.

The best general admission concerts aren't the ones for popular indie singers. Those only have fans pushing towards the barrier relentlessly.

The best ones are the rock concerts, any concert where you find mosh pits, circle pits, or even walls of death. They allow for the crowd to become this fluid motion. You can feel the main pit open and close next to you, but a smaller pit can open up on the opposite side.

That break in the crowd gets sweaty bodies off of you and you can finally feel a breeze. It's like getting a sip of water during a workout.

I don't hate stadium concerts, but I don't understand them. Why spend so much money on an assigned seat? Why not fight your way through a crowd? Why not get a spot close enough that you don't need to zoom in on videos?

I'll never tell someone not to go to a stadium, I just don't understand it.

Mistakes are something we all make, no matter how old we get. Most of the time, the mistakes we made are little and sometimes due to something out of our control. Yet, there are mistakes that are bigger than others. Personally, I have mistakes that I wish I could go back and undo. Here they are:

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?

sisters

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.
