The 6 Worst Things About Going To A Concert

Live music is a wonderful, wonderful thing. I love going to concerts... most of the time. There are just a few things that irk be beyond anything at a live music event, mostly having to do with the people.

1. iPhone Photographers

The whole point of being at this concert is being able to see the performer, and with your phone up above your head like that, no one behind you can see. I understand if you want a few pictures for Instagram, but taking a shaky video of the entire concert is completely unnecessary. Let's face it you'll probably delete that video anyway, because it's taking up too much space on your phone and now it won't let you download Tinder or save any more selfies.

2. Entitled Idiots

I don't care if you best friend is a cousin of the drummer of the opening band, I've been standing here in the cold for two hours so that I would be at the front. You can walk yourself all the way back to the end of this line, and enjoy it.

3. The Princesses of Pushing and Shoving

There are always those people that think it's totally OK to show up late to a concert and push and shove their way the whole way to the front by insisting that their "best friend" is right up there. Excuse me, ma'am, but that's not how this works. Please give me back my bubble and stay where you are.

4. Incredibly Short People and Incredibly Tall People

I know it sounds terrible but it's true, and I really don't know which is worse. The incredibly tall people can't help being so tall and it's not like you can ask them to move to the back because their genetically blessed; they waited in line to be in the front just as long as you did. Then there are the vertically challenged ones who complain the entire time about how they can't see anything. This is a problem that will never be fixed, so to be quite frank, people just need to suck it up. Concerts would go so much smoother if people were kinder, but I suppose that's a bit unrealistic.

5. Late Performers

I don't think I've ever been to a concert where the performer has started on time. As typical as it is, it's still a bit irritating. It's like, dude, I've been standing here in one spot, squashed, uncomfortable, and unable to run to the bathroom for hours because I wanted to see you perform. The least you could do is be on time.

6. Waiting, Waiting and more Waiting

Let's face it, over 75 percent of going to a concert is waiting for the actual concert to start, standing in line, waiting in line for the bathroom. It's all waiting, and I can't say I'm a fan.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
