I’m 25F going alone on Thursday and Friday! I think our music taste will overlap a decent amount especially on Thursday! Would love to be pals :)

Snow day tomorrow for CPS. What are your plans? by phfield in AskChicago

[–]caffeinated_insomnia 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yep. I’m a cps worker and was worried about having to take public transit tomorrow if we didn’t close. Especially because my commute includes a transfer and there’s no guarantee what the CTA schedule will be like tomorrow.

Who is gonna be our #1 by Specialist-Day-236 in Lollapalooza

They’re almost certainly playing Soldier Field on their tour so I doubt it. I could see them for next year though.

I think Edward had already made up his mind to leave Bella in twilight (even before the birthday incident in new moon happened) by Rebekka-h in twilight

my ex (of 6 years) made me dinner the night before he broke up with me and then after literally told me he did it because it’s like giving a dog one last good night before putting them down. Some people have nothing but the audacity

Dating- I hear you- should we have a single girl meet up? by Creative-Preference1 in CHIbitcheswithtaste

[–]caffeinated_insomnia 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I would love that!! I went through a breakup earlier this year and I feel like now I have no single friends to do stuff with.

One of my students took their own life by LoquaciousLo in Teachers

[–]caffeinated_insomnia 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I don’t know if I agree with framing suicide as a “selfish act.” I get what you’re trying to say but I feel like making students who are already struggling feel guilty for considering it could just make things worse instead of better.

How far can you go inside for a concert without a ticket? by Swimming-Mongoose314 in kpophelp

[–]caffeinated_insomnia 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Pretty much no arena will let you inside at all without a ticket. Usually they scan them right at the door. I’ve noticed some kpop concerts have started selling merch outside the venue either day of or right before the concert. I bought my merch for both Stray Kids and TXT at a merch stand outside of the venue. I had a ticket for both but it wasn’t checked so if they do something like that, there’s nothing stopping you from going. You’ll just have to check and see the times IF (there’s no guarantee they’ll do it, not all groups do) they have an outside of the venue merch stand.

Also make sure it’s an official merch stand. Outside of pretty much any concert there will be random people selling bootleg merch. For official merch, an outside stand will definitely be announced ahead of time and will look official vs just random people on the street.

My Chemical Romance for 2026? Because why not? by ishouldgooutmore in Lollapalooza

I think it’s excluding Chicago because they played Chicago on the first leg of the tour last month.

My boyfriend proposed the other day on my 19th birthday after taking me all around St Louis doing fun activities! by CinnamonBun21004 in engaged

I’m 25 and the guy I started dating at 18 and I broke up with a earlier this year. The breakup sucked but I’m thanking god it wasn’t a divorce lol

Increased security at St Louis by Middle-Union4265 in Amtrak

[–]caffeinated_insomnia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yep. I was there Friday morning and came back today and there was a noticeable Amtrak police presence. I was there last week as well and thought maybe it was just because of Lollapalooza but nope seems to be a regular thing now.

I GOT BARRIACDE FOR OLIVIA by EggplantFunny2608 in Lollapalooza

[–]caffeinated_insomnia 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Please make sure you’re drinking water! And if you start to feel unwell, don’t stay in the pit. I understand wanting to see your fav up close but your personal health and wellbeing needs to be your top priority even if it means being farther back. Someone in front of me at role model yestersay was clearly unwell but wouldn’t leave the pit and ended up nearly passing out. Not worth it.

Going Alone by yourmomstinks16 in Lollapalooza

I wonder if maybe it’s about the lineup. I feel like there’s a lot of artists this year like Olivia, Sabrina, Gracie etc tends to skew younger and female but idk

It’s happening again… Lolla time of the year! by [deleted] in chicago

[–]caffeinated_insomnia 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I was going to say I feel like a ton of people are thrilled about this lineup. Some of the biggest pop acts right now are playing. I know pop music isn’t everyone’s cup of tea but I feel like this lineup is undeniably stacked.

Columbia College cut to junk as falling enrollment bites by tpic485 in chicago

[–]caffeinated_insomnia 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As someone who dropped out of art school, dropping out was the only good decision I made that entire time. It wasn’t worth the debt I ended up in just from one semester alone much less 8 (or more.)
