To My Faster Horses Family

Is it July yet!?

77
To My Faster Horses Family
Courtney Banks

Faster Horses, one the best music festivals in the nation takes place in Brooklyn, MI. For one weekend Michigan International Speedway is turned into every country music lover's dream. A weekend full of country music, friends, and fun is exactly what you will find during the Faster Horses festival.

Winter is upon us and if you're like me the Faster Horses withdrawal is hitting hard. Every day I catch myself talking about the weekend of my life, the Party of the Summer. I'm constantly showing my friends pictures convincing them to come with me next year. Nothing beats soaking up the hot July sun with your best drinking buddies right by your side.

The friends you meet at Faster Horses will stay in your heart and hopefully camera roll forever. Who would have thought that a five-minute bus ride could lead to a fresh beer and blurry selfie with a complete stranger? Faster Horses is the best place to meet new drunk happy friends, I have even met a few of my own.


The party is always going at FH. From redneck slip and slides, to Faster Humans, and endless games of beer pong, there is always something to do. I can't say that before Faster Horses I played a game of rage cage at 10 a.m., but I'll tell you I don't regret it a bit. The nightlife is even better. No one is ready for the party to stop after the concerts, so you stumble back to your campsite just looking for more. A bon fire with your friends or a flashlight lit game of flip cup, the party never stops.

The music at Faster Horses is obviously a highlight too. Hearing your idols belt out the words of your favorite songs as you slur the words along with them is quite the experience. Swaying to the music with your drink in the air makes every worry go away in a flash. The headliners are always my favorite but don't forget to hit up the Next From Nashville tent, there's some gems in there too.


In the end Faster Horses can only be understood if you've spent your weekend at MIS with thousands of strangers at the Party of the Summer. The insane amounts of money spent on alcohol and the three day hangover are worth every second of your time there. The memories made in one weekend will last a lifetime. July can't come quick enough.

I can't wait to see you all boozed up in Brooklyn.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
