The 6 Types Of People You Will See At Summerfest

Summerfest, held in Milwaukee, Wi every summer, is known to be the world’s largest music festival. However, if you spend enough time there you’ll realize that it is also the world’s largest people-watching arena. After spending enough time there after 8 pm, you’ll also realize it can be the world’s largest shit show. Below are the six types of people you are guaranteed to see at this festival/people-watching arena/shit show.

1. The Basic Bitch

Distressed denim shorts, crop top, white converse and flash-lensed aviators are the staples of this gal’s Summerfest wardrobe. If you ask her what she’s seeing, her answer will be whatever her friends are going to. Although she acts and talks way more drunk than she actually is, this early teen will know at least two songs to whatever artist (probably a DJ) she's seeing and she’s down to have fun.

2. The Creep Standing Alone Within the Most Crowded Part of the Grounds

I never understand how this guys gets in, but I guess when there’s a will there’s a way. One would typically associate the word “idiot” with this cardboard and Sharpie dreamer; however, I have to give him some credit. He came to the right place. I can bet you there were plenty of drunk enough people willing to give him a hug (for free!). You'll also find yourself passing him like five times during the day/night. He just never seems to go away (or give up).

3. The Basic "Bro"

He walks in a pack with other wearers of bro tanks, pastel colored shorts and Ray-Ban sunglasses. His confidence streams directly from his overly-toned arms, and you constantly see him checking to make sure he's flexing as he hold that plastic cup of beer in his hand. Although he knows how to dress for the fest, he really has no genuine knowledge or interest music. You’ll find him at Timeflies because “bitches love Timeflies.”

4. The Chill 40-Year-Old Couple

These beer-lovers are definitely on the older spectrum of your typical festin’ crowd, but everyone knows they're there to have a night-off from parenting with zero judgements of others so they can still get away with going to Walk the Moon. Outfits are never their strong suit, but everyone can tell that they just want to drink their beer and have a good time, similar to most young adults attending this music festival. Normally, teens would consider the presence of actual adults an annoyance, but no one’s going to turn down a possible shot at free beer. Not to mention that this couple gives zero shits and totally won’t be afraid to shout “back the f*ck up” at the naive 16-year-old boy pushing through the crowd to get to his “friend” who is supposedly in the front row.

5. The Adorable Old Couple That Probably Shouldn’t Be There But You Awe At Their Cuteness Anyway

Although the 70 and up crowd is incredibly cute, you have to wonder why they decided to go anywhere near the Miller Lite Oasis past 9 pm. But hey, it’s Summerfest! If there’s anytime to stop working on the 500-piece cat puzzle and stay a couple hours up past their bedtime, it’s now. All one can do is just hope no one spills beer on this precious, fragile couple whose love for slow dancing and music prevails through even the biggest of shit shows.


6. The Perfectly Trendy Festival Regular

She’s either rich enough to afford all things Urban or her thrifting game is on fleek, because her outfits are ridiculously mismatching but put together. She knows every word to every hidden-gem band at the festival that you wish you already knew about, and you just want to hate her and her flat-as-a-board abs. But you don’t, because she’s so freaking cool and you kind of want to befriend her and find out where she gets all of her clothes. This trendy festival reg will make you spend the entire concert wondering if you could pull off any of the outfits she owns and how she gets her hair to obtain that perfect straight-wavy balance.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
