The happiest music festival ever!

Bonnaroo 2017
Jason Shaltz

If you don't know what Bonnaroo is, it's a music festival held on "The Farm" for four days in Manchester, Tennessee. Each year, hundreds of people gather for four days full of music, camping, and other fun activities. This year, Bonnaroo will be held on June 8th through the 11th.

Some bands from the lineup include: The Weekend, Chance the Rapper, The XX, Crystal Castles, Tegan & Sara and some bands I've never heard of like Ookay, Unlike Pluto, and The Lemon Twigs, but I'm sure they're good if they're playing at Bonnaroo.

I took it upon myself to do research on some of the bands I've never heard of and there are definitely some hidden gems in the lineup. Here are a few that I found noteworthy:

1. Ookay

Ookay is based out of California and is categorized as "one of the most impressive young leaders on the American dance music scene". His musical style "weaves across genres, reflecting influences as varied as Borgore, Diplo, DJ Snake, Showtek, Deorro, TJR, Boaz Van de Beatz, Valentino Kahn, Waveracer, Cashmere Cat, Lindsay Lowend, Skrillex, Lido, and Wiwek while always returning to a hard-hitting trap beat", as written on his Facebook page.


2. Unlike Pluto

Unlike Pluto was started by Armond Arabshahi who moved from Atlanta, Georgia to Los Angeles to pursue his career in music. Unlike Pluto also falls under the dance music genre.

3. The Lemon Twigs

The Lemon Twigs have a unique sound, but I could definitely see myself singing along to their songs on a road trip. The band was formed by two brothers, Brian D'Addario and Michael D'Addario, and their sound has been described as "a modern-day band combining the melodic, harmony-rich soft rock of Wings and Supertramp, the underground cool of Big Star and the Ramones, and the theatricality of Broadway musicals," by The Times.


4. Alexandra Savior

Alexandra is from Portland, Oregon and is currently on tour with her latest album, Belladonna of Sadness. Alexandra's musical style is influenced by artists like Jack White, Adele and Etta James. Her music is under the indie pop genre. More information about Alexandra and her music can be found on Wikipedia, Facebook, and her website.


5. Bad Suns

This band was formed in 2012 with members Christo Bowman, Miles Morris, Gavin Bennett, and Ray Libby. They are based out of Woodland Hills, California and their second album, Disappear Here, was released on September 16, 2016. Their musical influences include The Cure and Elvis Costello; their music falls under the alternative rock genre.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

Students walking on a sunny college campus with trees and buildings.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
