5 Things That Happen When You Leave Bonnaroo
steponmagazine.com

Arriving on the farm, you'd think the feeling of free-loving happiness would last forever...and then real life happens. Here are five things that happen after you leave 'Roo:

1. You realize not everyone is as excited about High-Five Fridays as you are.

Have you ever tried giving your technical writing professor a high five? It doesn't work as easily as you'd think.

2. You judge Kanye West more than the average person.

After his untimely first show on the farm to his unfortunately unfriendly performance in 2014, Bonnaroovians have a weird dislike for him. We suddenly started using, "Where the press at?" as really fun banter phrase. That doesn't mean we will not rap every word from "The College Dropout," but we will judge him for wearing that chain mask for forever. (And the fact that Kim wore white pants and heels to his performance adds to our strange hatred, as well.)

3. The coffee line doesn't seem quite as long.

The patience of a Bonnaroovian is like no other. From waiting in the two-day line to enter the farm, to squeezing into the pit of stages with your hands held in the air, we are professional wait-in-liners. We mastered the art of time management as seeing all the shows on the lineup absolutely requires it. Time no longer seems to be an issue in our everyday lives.

4. You begin to love the sound of "Ooo"s.

There is nothing more fun than shouting, "Bonnaroooo!" and having it returned. Soon after packing up camp and heading to real life, you notice yourself going to the "moovies" or buying new pairs of "shoooes." You can't explain it. It just happens.

5. You become an all around better person.

Leaving the safety of Bonnaroo's jovial grounds can be tough. When everyone around you only cares about music and happiness, the real world seems a little drab. Fortunately for our friends and family, we have the opportunity to bring a little piece of Bonnaroo back with us in how we live our lives. From respecting our earth to helping those in need, we quickly realize that Bonnaroo isn't a week long experience, it is one that lasts a lifetime.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
