My Adventure at ACL Music Festival
Kaylee Fang

This Sunday, I got the chance to fly home to Austin, Texas and attend the iconic local festival. ACL Music Festival has been going on since 2002 and grown to be popular nationwide; people from all over the states come to check out what it's all about. Over the duration of two consecutive three-day weekends, ACL Music Festival has eight stages set up with performances that cover a variety of music from rock to hip-hop.

I sure didn't want to miss these amazing artists perform this year so it was a totally last minute decision that I made with my friend that we'd go. We were looking for tickets online but ended up getting general admission at the entrance for a good deal of $75 each. Usually if one orders tickets online before they are sold out, they charge $100 for one day.

However, they include some pretty sweet deals:

-Performances on all 8 stages from 11 am to 10 pm

-Food vendors sold from 35 award-winning chefs and restaurants that include vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options

_Band and festival merch sold at shops

-Giveaways throughout the park from sponsor areas

-Autographs singings with official ACL artists

-Bars and concessions throughout the park and free filter water stations everywhere

-Secure lockers are provided and there are charging locations

-Access to Official Festival Shuttles provided by ACL Fest

-Children 10 and Under are allow in free with access to Austin Kiddie Limits

The $75 and the heat was worth it because I got to see Amber Mark, Elle King, X Ambassadors, Tinashe, Phoenix, Camila Cabello, and Travis Scott perform. Amber Mark is a small artist that is climbing her way to fame. Two months ago, she uploaded her first song to Soundcloud and spark the attention of thousands. She had an amazing performance at ACL where she sang and dance. She gave off chill vibes and it was really fun to watch her.

Elle King is well known for her song Ex's and Oh's. Although I was sad that she never sang, she left the crowd wild when she flashed her tit. It was so so unexpected but I guess you can say that's her kind of personality.

X Ambassadors just knows how to hit me right in the feels. When they started performing Unsteady, I felt every sad emotion crawl towards me. They also play a special song that hasn't been released yet called Recovery and it was to help out all the ones who felt like they had to bring themselves up from such a low point in their life.

Tinashe is such a queen when performing. She slays her dance moves and outdid her singing. Not only does she sing but she also is a record producer, actress, and model. Some of my favorite she perform was No Drama, Party Favors, and All My Friends.

Phoenix is a French band that grooves to pop beats. They capture the emotion and made the crowd go wild when the lead singer, crowd surfed.

Camila Cabello will be the sweetest singer you will ever see. The whole time she was spreading love during her show. Even though at one point she referred the crowd as Dallas instead of Austin the fans still love her and kept jamming to her emo vibe.

Travis Scott was by far the most lit performance there was. The amount of smoke, lights, and hype he put towards his shows is breathtaking. He even brought a fan up on stage and gave him his hat. I was so jealous that the fan got to rap and be right next to Travis Scott. He ended the night with SICKO MODE and set off fireworks to top it all off.

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.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
