20 Things I'd Rather Be Doing Than Attending Coachella
TimeOut

Look, I have nothing against Coachella, per se. Maybe I'm just really bitter that in order for me to go I'd have to marry rich or win the lottery. Maybe it just gets a teensy bit annoying to see the same outfit only slightly varied taking up my entire Instagram feed. Maybe the prominence of cultural appropriation grinds my gears a little bit.

So, here are 20 things I'd rather be doing than attending Coachella.

1. Working on a group project where I'm the only member putting in an effort.

2. Playing volleyball in a gym full of high school boys.

3. Eating my weight in McDonald's.

4. Getting "We Are The Champions" stuck playing on repeat.

5. Sitting next to a crying baby on a 7 hour flight.

6. Following all my high school teachers on social media.

7. Being put into a group chat with my entire family, including grandma.

8. Going to buy a movie ticket to find out the movie I want to see is sold out.

9. Eating Taco Bell.

10. Trying on swimsuits after Thanksgiving dinner.

11. Applying for a retail job.

12. Opening a can of soup and having the can opener break.

13. Matching with old men on Tinder.

14. Using the self-checkout and having it yell at me.

15. Spilling coffee on myself.

16. Being ghosted.

17. Having my mom in the room when the doctor asks, "Are you sexually active?"

18. Going to a middle school dance.

19. Opening a credit card with a $200 limit.

20. Writing an article about Coachella.

Alright, alright. Maybe I wouldn't actually want to do some of these things over attending a festival, but at least I'm saving money, right? Festival on, y'all.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
