Reason 2: Homework Can Wait
Final exams are coming up but are you really going to study on a Saturday night? We recommend you study all day before the show and take one grand break to see Vince Staples in SCOPE's last show of the semester. 15 breaks to check Facebook is a lot less fun than one of the best hip-hop concerts of the year.
Reason 3: You can treat yourself to an ice cold Sprite. Obey your thirst.
Vince Staples loves Sprite. Get yourself a Sprite, get to the show and let Vince know how much you support his love of Sprite.
Reason 4: It's the holiday season!
No matter what holiday you celebrate, it's that time of year where you should treat yourself (and your friends, family, neighbors, colleagues, anybody you know, etc. ) to Vince Staples tickets. Nobody has ever been sad getting a gift and the gift of music is priceless. So share the awesome stylings of Vince Staples with somebody you know.
Did you know? You can buy your tickets at the IMU Welcome Desk in the IMU and Ubill them. Nothing like choosing your own holiday gift.
Reason 5: Your friends might look at you funny if you skip the hottest concert of the year.
But if you do go to the Vince Staples concert you'll feel an overwhelming feeling of success.
