The outfits are cool, but I'm here to talk about the music.

5 Things You Missed At Coachella 2016

While everyone else has been living their lives, I was busy live-streaming (read: daydreaming) about Coachella. In case you have no clue what that is, Coachella is one of the most prominent music festivals in the United States. For two weekends in April, Coachella Valley is packed to the brim with music lovers and celebrities alike. Here are some of the artists that you missed if you weren’t at the festival (or glued to your computer screen).

1. Purity Ring


Yes, they have an interesting name, but this group is so much more than a name. With catchy beats and great lead vocals this is definitely an electronic duo that you should check out if you haven’t heard of them. Lucky for you, they’re going to be on tour until August if you end up falling in love with them.

2. Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros


When I first heard this group I did not want to give them a fair chance, but then I heard them play their song “Home.” If you didn’t watch the live-stream, or you weren’t at the festival then you missed out on a beautiful moment where Edward Sharpe spoke to a fan who told him that his music changes people’s lives. I’m not going to lie, it made me cry a little. Skip to 4:00 minutes in the video if you want to cry as well.

3. James Bay


This little hipster Jesus is one of my new favorite artists thanks to Coachella. All of his songs make me want to sing along and hold up a lighter while I’m swaying from side to side. This man really gives off the campfire singing vibe, and it’s incredibly refreshing amongst all of the pizzaz and entertainment that’s present at Coachella.

4. A$AP Rocky feat. Kanye


Okay, first thing’s first. Everyone knows who Kanye is, but what most people don’t know is that A$AP’s set was cut off right after he pulled Kanye on stage to perform with him! A$AP Rocky started singing a song, but then realized that his microphone was off. Which ultimately lead to a lot of anger both on and off stage. So long story short, not a new artist, but definitely something you missed out on!

5. Halsey + Brandon Urie


First, Halsey is an up and coming artist who is constantly challenging the status quo with her hair and her music. Second, she brought out an artist who helped to inspire her to become who she is today! If you haven’t heard of Halsey then I’m sure you’ve heard of Panic! At the Disco. Brandon Urie of Panic! came out to help Halsey sing “New Americana” as well as “I Write Sins not Tragedies.”

I guess you’re not missing out on everything in life if you weren’t at Coachella, but you at least missed some once in a lifetime musical experiences. If you’re half the music nerd that I am, you’ll be buying your tickets for Coachella 2017 the minute they go on sale!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
