I Went To My First Music Festival And It Was The Best Weekend of My Life

Thank you, Gov Ball.

I Went To My First Music Festival And It Was The Best Weekend of My Life
Rachel Neal

If you know me, you know how much I love music and going to concerts.

It's all I ever really spend my money on because I think it creates the best memories possible with the people you go with, gives you an excuse to dress up a bit, and lets you hear your favorite songs and see your favorite artists live.

Surprisingly, I haven't attended my first 3-day music festival until this past weekend.

It was the Governor's Ball music festival located in NYC, an absolute dream, right?

The lineup was too.

I got to see some of my all-time favorite artists for the first time, including: Tyler, the Creator, Brockhampton, The 1975, Hippo Campus... the list goes on. I even got to see Florence + the Machine for the 3rd time, which is always SUCH a good show.

I always wished of going to a music festival, but I never thought it would happen since it's expensive from the tickets to transportation and everything else.

But my best friend Anna suggested that we go since she went before and was interested in going again, and that was an opportunity I just couldn't pass up.

So I bought the 3 day passes a month before, and counted down the days until I'd step foot on that island in upper Manhattan.

I planned all my outfits and couldn't wait to take pictures.

I made an entire playlist and shuffled it nonstop.

I was completely ready for one of the best weekends of my life to happen.

When the weekend finally came around, I couldn't believe it.

I got to reunite with Anna who I haven't seen since school ended, we got to catch up and get ready together and then had the best weekend of long days and nights, way too much glitter, expensive food, amazing music, and unforgettable memories.

Thank you Gov Ball, I'll be back soon.

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.
