Festival Spotlight: Carolina Rebellion

The Carolinas are known for many things. Beautiful weather, wonderful food, historic locales, and (mostly) charming people. However, besides the occasional big musical guest in our major cities, we don't have much to look forward to in terms of music festivals. However, since 2012, the Carolina's have had their own rock festival. Known as Carolina Rebellion, the 3-day festival is held in Concord, NC at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Featuring a bevy of rock artists, the festival also hosts a variety of food trucks and merchant booths.

I've attended Carolina Rebellion for the past 2 years. It's held May 5-7, with a pre-concert for VIP members featuring local bands and a few other helpful discounts and vouchers. The first year, I was in a hotel room with 3 other friends, which made for interesting sleeping arrangements but was otherwise still a good situation. Last year, however, I went with my friend who I'll lovingly refer to as "The Giant". He has been my partner in the mosh pit for many years and happened to upgrade the tickets to the VIP experience, which allowed us to access the campgrounds bordering the festival grounds. While the first night was a bit of a rough start (always plan out your camping gear and check the weather, kids). the rest of the festival was AMAZING. We met and befriended some absolutely delightful people who we hope to camp and rock with for many years to come.

The amazing thing about Rebellion is that, within the festival grounds, politics don't exist. Everyone is there to enjoy the food, throw down to the music, and enjoy the experience. People can come from all walks of life and they're accepted into the fray and beautiful chaos that is Carolina Rebellion. This is an event that, if you're a native of the Carolinas and in touch with your rocker side, you MUST NOT MISS.

The line-up this year includes Soundgarden, A Perfect Circle, Mastodon, Dorothy, Def Leppard. Korn, The Pretty Reckless, Avenged Sevenfold, Seether, and MANY more.

Tickets are on-sale now.

Keep this festival on your to-attend lists, folks. It's always a great time, and an even better experience.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
