The internet went wild on Tuesday when rumors of Coachella headliners were released. Now, are Coachella tickets extremely affordable and easy to come by? No! Do I still wait for the lineup and get excited about it every year? Yes!

Rumors have it that Childish Gambino will start off the weekend Friday night, Justin Timberlake will perform Saturday night and Kanye will close out Coachella Sunday night. The festival is scheduled for two weekends, in 2019: April 12-14 and April 19-21. Tickets have reportedly sold out months before the lineup was announced.

Now, lets not forgot the iconic Beychella performance we were graced with in 2018. Destiny's Child reunited, Solange and Bey had a dance off, Jay- Z was there and she had a full marching band on stage. How could anyone outdo Bey? Since her performance, festival-goers have a new standard of festival shows. Performers have the resources, the power and fire to make the show a once in a lifetime experience. Beyonce has forever changed festival performances.

This years lineup has me very underwhelmed. In past years the festival has fallen short in the lack of women in its lineup. Coachella turned to Beyonce to help fix that mistake but if these rumors are true they are going back to their old ways.

1. Childish Gambino

Childish Gambino is a perfect pick for the lineup this year! He has had a phenomenal year and has highly anticipated music coming out soon. He has put on great shows in the past and has a great energy on stage. Having Gambino is exciting because us listeners are excited for him.

2. Justin Timberlake

Justin Timberlake is a great performer but his recent album flopped bad. I would like anyone to name at least 3 songs off of his new album. His highly anticipated album disappointed and then he had some drama with performing for the 2018 Super Bowl. He isn't an awful choice but there better picks for this job. Will, he have a good show and give it his all? Absolutely! But I don't think the audience is looking to listen to him on a Saturday night.

3. Kanye West

Kanye has been in the news lately for his political views and if that's what he plans for on Sunday night he will not have a crowd. He recently headlined Coachella in 2011, but the internet is currently in disagreement with him being a headliner.

Of course, these are all rumored and we will not see the real lineup for a few months. Performers I would love to see on the big stage are Rihanna and SZA. If Rihanna could just drop an album the minute she hit the stage we would have Beychella 2.0. I saw SZA last winter and the energy she brings to the stage is infectious and enchanting. Both would be great choices but I'll keep dreaming for the time being.

Let's hope this lineup isn't set in stone. Who would you like to see at Coachella?

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
