This past spring break was definitely one for the books. I was lucky enough to be given the opportunity to work Ultra Music Festival in Miami. Not only was I able to work for one of the biggest music festivals, I was able to get paid to rage and made the memory of a life time.

All weekend I was working non-stop on my feet preparing and selling pizza. I would come home beyond drained every night during that weekend and had to wake up early and do it again the next day. I would also come home drenched in sweat and covered in dirt from head to toe every night, to the point where I would have to take two showers. My favorite pair of vans are destroyed; covered with bleach, mud, dirt and are even discolored. I can never look at them the same way anymore. However, despite all that might have happened, I could not be any more happier.

Although yes, I was working the night shift everyday, which is when all of the main DJs would perform, I am still in awe from my experience.

I have always wanted to go to Ultra and would watch the live feed and just hope that I would be there one day experiencing what everyone on camera was.

Music festivals often tend to have a negative connotation, and especially Ultra with the amount of people in attendance. My experience though was nothing but breath-taking. It amazes me how people from all over the world come together to appreciate the music. While I was working, my favorite thing would be hearing someone speak and hearing their accent and asking where they were from. It's crazy how music can connect people the way it does at Ultra.

I have a very outgoing personality and can literally talk to a wall if I have to, so talking to strangers is nothing new to me. However, at Ultra it made it that much more easier to approach people since everyone else had the same mind set of meeting new people and just feeling the music together. I personally think being able to make memories with a complete stranger is such a rewarding feeling. These people don't know the person you are outside of Ultra, they don't know your past, your present, or even your future. You may never see the people you encounter at any music festival ever again, but that is okay because it seems as though at Ultra (or any other music festival) nothing else matters but living in that moment. I befriended so many different types of people, even the people I was working for. The people I was working for were probably some of nicest, friendliest people that I have come across thus far. To all those people I encountered while selling pizza, those I traded my Kandi brackets with, those that I danced with until my feet were sore, those guys that lifted me up so I could see, those who gave me water to ensure I was staying hydrated, but most importantly, those I made lifetime memories with; thank you from the bottom of my heart, my Ultra experience would not have been what it was without you all.

This is something I will definitely experience again in my life time. I think Ultra is something everyone should at least experience once. Even if "it's not your type of music" the atmosphere alone is what makes it such an out of this world event. When 30,000 plus people come together under the electric night sky, unexplainable encounters occur.

Until next time Ultra!
