27 Truths About The Faster Horses Festival

Just this past weekend the #partyofthesummer took place at the Michigan International Speedway and though this three-day country music festival has only been going on for a few years it's really gained popularity. This year the festival sold out and over 40,000 people attended. Did you head over to MIS for the festival? Or are you planning on attending next year? Read below for 27 truths about the Faster Horses Festival!

1. Even if you don't "like" country music, you'll like country music.

2. It's 100 percent acceptable to wear a bikini top, jean shorts, cowboy boots, flash tattoos and a camouflage baseball cap backwards for three days in a row.

3. It's a weekend you might have a hard time remembering but you'll NEVER want to forget!

4. The Cottage Inn guy driving around in a golf cart is the most amazing person ever. Not really, BUT when you find him at 1 a.m. while walking back from the concert and he has a large, hot, cheesy pizza that basically has your name written all over it he WILL seem like it.

5. Tents suck but they are cheaper than campers, and you won't care because you'll be having the time of your life at the #partyofthesummer.

6. It's totally acceptable to go full-on hillbilly for the entire weekend.

7. United States flag print and camouflage totally go together, I promise.

8. $10 for a bag for ice (I mean it's just frozen water!) is ridiculous but you'll pay for it anyway.

9. Peanut butter and jelly really was the best invention ever, and you probably ate a lot of it this weekend.

10. Not everything is going to go as planned and that is OKAY.

11. You will go through the McDonald's drive-through at least once.

12. Let's face it. It's more fun to be up front and really be a part of the crowd EVEN if that means standing on your feet for more than six hours and not leaving, FOR ANYTHING!

13. 'MURICA themed everything!


14. Your car battery probably died because you left your car on too long while charging your cell phone.

15. The line for the portable showers will forever be long.

16. The tram system is extremely frustrating.

17. You'll probably take lots of selfies, and that's totally acceptable.

18. You will play party games, corn hole included.

19. EVERYTHING will smell like bonfire.

20. There are other people your age everywhere, so it's really easy to make new friends.

21. By the end of the concert you'll have a very special bond with the people you stood next to all day long.

22. You will sing, really loudly, for hours on end.

23. It's all about good times, new friends and great music.

24. You and your besties will probably "stirrup" some trouble this wonderful Faster Horses weekend and you won't want to leave.

25. #fasterhorses

26. You WILL have the TIME OF YOUR LIFE. It'll be an unforgettable weekend.

27. You already can't wait for next year!

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.

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.

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.
