Last year, I attended Lollapalooza for my first time. It was one of the best weekends of my life, but I couldn’t help but notice how many teens were present. With the 2014 Lolla schedule now out, I thought it would be fun to look back on concerts in high school vs. college.
Buying Tickets
High School: “Hey do you think that your mom could buy a four-pack on her credit card and then my mom could write a check and I’ll put it in your locker on Monday??”
College: “Why are these tickets so fucking expensive? Don’t you know that one dude that works for that one company or something that could get us a discount?”
Attire
High School: “I want to wear something to make Mike jealous but like also I don’t want to look like too much of a slut…can I borrow your flower headband???”
College: “How far do we have to walk?”
Pregame
High School: “Didn’t you say your sister’s friend’s boyfriend has a fake and could get us alcohol?? Let’s get like a fifth of Bacardi or something fun like that. Also I found half a water bottle under my bed from like homecoming. I’m trying to get reaaallly drunk.”
College: “Just get whatever is on sale.”
Post-Concert
High School: “Ommmgggg that was sooooo fun…Mike and I totally made out oooops…I can’t believe Rachel threw up lolol. Wait do you think your mom is gonna know I’m drunk??”
College: “How far do we have to walk?”
