4 Reasons Why I'd Rather Be At Coachella

After coming back home after logging ungodly hours studying for finals at the campus library, I scrolled through Instagram and Snapchat to see what my friends had been doing. My FOMO significantly increased as I saw bright photos of outlandish outfits and footage of concerts that had palm trees serving as the backdrop. It was the first weekend of Coachella, a music festival held in Indio, California. Then, I set my alarm to wake up early the next morning in order to study. Again. I will be, again, living vicariously through Coachella-goers’ social media as weekend two comes up. Below are a list of reasons, in no particular order, of why I would rather be at Coachella.

1. Clothing

While my college student budget probably wouldn’t be able to fund six separate outfits that are Coachella-worthy, a girl can dream, right? Festival-goers tend to wear their most creative clothing; this often consists of glitter, bralettes, sheer fabric, lace and fringe. Designer sunglasses, optional.

2. Music

With headliners, such as Calvin Harris, DJ Mustard, Ellie Goulding, Halsey, Jack Ü, Major Lazer and Zedd, not to mention surprise appearances by Kesha and Sam Smith, Coachella has a pretty enviable set list this year. What I would give to be dancing in a flower crown to some EDM instead of listening to the same artists through my headphones in the library.

3. Celebrities

Celebrities turn out en masse to be a part of and enjoy Coachella. Vanessa Hudgens, the undisputed queen of the festival, can always be counted on when it comes to any Coachella-related event. Other celebrities, such as Kylie and Kendall Jenner, Taylor Swift and even Rihanna and Leo DiCaprio, have attended concerts during the first weekend.

4. California

The iconic ferris wheel, sunset and palm trees are all integral parts of the California landscape that help define the Coachella experience. Even though it’s located in the middle of a desert, the festival does a fantastic job at showcasing California’s finest.

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

Why AI-Generated Music Threatens Human Creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

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.
