The 10 WORST People At Concerts

Choose your fighter...

It's no secret that I've been to a couple concerts over the years... or 108 to be exact. At every single one, regardless of the artist, venue, or city, you will find every single one of these people... and probably hate them. And if you don't, you probably are one of them even if you don't want to admit it.

1. The Conga Line

Giphy

Nothing is worse than an entire parade of people squeezing to the front five minutes before the show starts because "their friend is up there". There is no room for any more people, but they do not care. They all hold hands and push and shove people out of their way to get their party of 12 to the barricade.

2. The Jolly Green Giant

Giphy

If you are above six foot, please do not be aggressive. The five foot girl behind you loves this band and does not care about what the back of your shoulders look like. Stand wherever you like but be polite about the people behind you. And if you are like 6'6, please stay towards the sides or back... it's rude.

3. The Bathroom Buds

Giphy

If you are in the front, the middle of a set is probably the worst possible time to decide to go to the bathroom... even worse, to bring every single one of your friends with you.

4. The Concert Couple

Giphy

I understand you love your significant other but please do not spend an entire five hours grinding to indie alternative music... it's concerning.

5. The Groupie

Giphy

How can you tell if someone has seen this band multiple times? Don't worry, they'll tell you. They have a tour tee and checkered vans most likely and will tell you alllllllll about the time the lead singer grabbed their hand while crowd surfing.

6. The Aggressor

Giphy

It is a given that personal space is irrelevant. However, some people take this a little too far... this is the guy that refuses to shift even a little when you get too close on accident. The guy whose hair is always in your mouth, the girl always standing on your feet, and the one whose arm is touching you the entire time. That's about as passive as it gets folks.

7. The Drunk

Giphy

At $10 a beer, how are you blackout? No one needs to hear their favorite lyrics slurred and screamed in their ear or wants a stranger falling all over them.

8. The Bored

Giphy

The people who forgot they spent money to be here. This one goes out to the guy who I saw pull out his phone and watch The Office during the opening act because he didn't care enough to listen. This is the teenager air dropping memes to strangers. This is the girl whose phone battery is somehow already almost dead. Calm down.

9. The Children... and Their Parents

Giphy

I do not care that this is your 12 year old's favorite band Karen, if they keep stepping on my toes and screaming at the top of their lungs after every single song, I'm going to lose it.

10. The Videographer

Giphy

Did you know you don't actually have to buy tickets to shows when you can watch the entire thing on someone's snapchat story. Do you think they even know what it looked like without the filter?.... even though they were there...

Things I Am Actually Going To Do This Semester

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Top 20 Thoughts College Students Have During Finals

The ultimate list and gif guide to a college student's brain during finals.

University of Vermont

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
