Firefly is one of the best music festivals for the east coast! Anyone and everyone is showing up to hear their favorite artists. There's something for everyone to enjoy. The music, the food, the heat, the hangout spots, the shopping, anything and everything. Not sure what you'll enjoy? Well, I went for you to figure out what the best of the best was for you.

3. Casey and Brittney

Age: 21, 22

What's your favorite part of Firefly? Well, this is my first year here, it's so crazy and today's the big day. This is my third year, so it's all about hangin' back and relaxing.

Any artists you're dying to hear? I'm definitely looking forward to SZA. Well, I'm looking forward to Arctic Monkeys, just because I've been around so many years and they're so good to hear.

What's your favorite festival food? Water. Just trying to stay hydrated.

What's your #1 staple festival piece? A water-pack. I've had it for all three years, and now everyone has it and the refilling station is so convenient for it. Sunscreen. I'm definitely a burner, so this is the only way I'll survive this weekend.

4. McKayla and Megan

​Age: 21

What's your favorite part of Firefly? At the end of the night at the main stage surrounded by everybody, it's such a good vibe. This is my first firefly, so I'm just enjoying the people watching.

Any artists you're dying to hear? The Killers for sure. Smallpools.

What's your favorite festival food? Tres Amigos. The fried avocado was delicious. Someone shared a vegetable pot-sticker with us and it was goooood.

What's your #1 staple festival piece? Not at all. I had no idea what to wear. I've been wearing these shorts to almost every single festival, so they've been with me through everything. Even this plaid flannel. It's a must have. Just tie it around your waist and you have a jacket for at night when it gets cold, something to sit on, it wipes off the sweat.

5. Emma and Jackie

Age: 21

What's your favorite part of Firefly? That's such a hard question, cause everything is fun. I guess the music, tonight's a big night with Eminem and Lil Wayne. The little shops are cute.

What's your least favorite part of Firefly? The mosh pits. My feet are swollen, I did a mistake by wearing flip flops. We started off in the front and ended up all the way in the back. And they knock you down, I got trampled on. It's worth it though.

Any artists you're dying to hear? Eminem, Kendrick Lamar, Lil Wayne

What's your favorite festival food? We're gonna try Moms Spaghetti in honor of Eminem

What's your #1 staple festival piece? Yes! We always get clothes right before the festival, gotta get some cute festival tops. Got these classic sneakers on.

Age: 18

What's your favorite part of Firefly? Well I've been here for like an hour. But it's a cool vibe, everyone's friendly.

What's your least favorite part of Firefly? It's so hot. But the free water refill stations are like a lifesaver

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.
