Area 51 NEEDS to be the new Coachella site

Unless you live under a rock, you witnesses the #stormarea51 Internet movement and all the memes that came along with it this summer. Although some of us thought it was just a joke, people actually showed up to Area 51 and made it a music festival. Should Area 51 be the new Coachella?

Area 51 NEEDS to be the new Coachella site

Last weekend, the Area 51 storm actually took place in Rachel Nevada. If you're a social media user you saw all the Meme Lords tweet and share actual videos of people that showed up to the Facebook event. The Naruto runners made an iconic and memorable moment that was even captured by the news, which according to Twitter was the first meme of this event. Of course, people weren't able to storm Area 51 or even tried to break in since it was highly secured with the military. If there were to be real aliens and evidence, the government was highly prepared for it and people had been warned before.

There were people holding actual signs of "clap them alien cheeks" outside and the military was trying their best to remain professional and perform their job. According to people that attended, it was the weirdest experience. It all began on the Internet because of a meme, and it just shows how social media brings people together. Let's not be so serious for a moment, although we all know it was nothing but a joke... it was pretty iconic. There was a music festival right outside, were people dressed in rave clothing and showed their respect for "green lives matter." The real question is; should Area 51 be the new Coachella?

Let's embrace it, this generation is the coolest generation in history and although we truly care about solving world issues, we are a humorous generation that knows how to share a good laugh. The "raid" wasn't an actual raid, people came along to share the experience among people of similar interest and humor. People were pretty aware of the consequences and the government had made them pretty clear, but to some, it was a life-changing experience. Area 51, should be the new Coachella. It is nothing but a celebration, that some truly believe aliens exist and the share-bonding experience with other Internet users.

The internet has already taken over us, and it continues to change and shape our society. This ever-lasting social media fever is legit. Dating partners are already meeting online, and with a simple friend request or follow is the beginning of a beautiful friendship. It is quite depressing to think about, but the internet has in fact taken over us. This historic moment brought people from all over the country together; just like the music festival of Coachella. It was mostly a target to this generation and Generation Z. Imagine a world with a Coachella truly dedicated to Area 51 and green lives, where everyone peacefully celebrates.

We shall wait until next year, and see how it slowly develops into a bigger event.

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.
