With two documentaries jumping on the fall of the Fyre Festival, it is almost hard to find news that doesn't involve the infamous scandal and rip-off that was the brain-child of Billy McFarland and Ja Rule.

Cheese sandwiches, wifi-wristbands that people put more than $3,000 into while on an island with almost no wifi, and $12,000 airfare and white tents (that were meant to be villas) that didn't hold up were just a few of the wrongful events to garner revenue for this later cancelled festival. I don't even want to talk about the Evian water unloading situation. Talk about yikes.

The tickets for this event ranged from $500-$1,500, and packages insisted on people spending more towards accommodations and money on their wristbands. A steep and unreasonable price range, there are so many things you could have purchased instead. That being said, here are a few:

Beyonce VIP Tickets

Giphy

The average price for her VIP tickets for the OTR II tour was just under $2,000. You could buy at least 6 or 7 VIP tickets and get a much better experience with a show that is less likely to cancel on you.

Over 4,000 Tudor's Biscuit World Biscuits

Giphy

You can buy over 4,000-something Tudor's Biscuit World biscuit meals (which are huge, by the way) with $2,000. Sit fat and happy on your mound of bread and bacon.

You can watch Spiderman: Into the Spiderverse almost 1,333 times.

Giphy

A solid and beautiful film, I'm sure you wouldn't mind quoting it by heart and seeing it every time you close your eyes.

80 Yeezy Slides

Giphy

If you're really passionate for Mr. 'Ye, you can definitely dabble in his "quality" and totally-not-just-covered-in-basketball-shorts-material slip-on shoes. You'll be the talk of a generation. A different color for every bad decision you make.

You can afford almost five months rent in a one bedroom apartment in Manhattan.

Giphy

Outrageous and probably soul shattering, I know. But, you can say that that money went into some interesting adventures with high society.

About 57 boxes of 24-pack gold plated staples.

Giphy

While there is no reason you should EVER have gold plated staples, even to prove a point, a 24 pack costs about $210 each. That's still a better purchase than being on an island in a tent and fighting your neighbor for a roll of toilet paper.

About 4,316 pudding cups.

Giphy

No, I'm not saying to try it with a cheese stick. I'm saying you'll never go hungry with that many pudding cups...and who doesn't like pudding? (If you don't like pudding, I'm sorry, but your opinion is wrong.)

93 day passes to Disney World.

Giphy

You could honestly see the in's and out's of the entirety of Disney World several times. You have 93 full days, not counting merchandise, food, or hotels, to experience the happiest place on earth enough to make all the 4 year olds jealous.

You can purchase a tiger cub and put a down payment on its brother.

Giphy

What do rich people dream when they're taking a tiger snooze? That's right. Owning tigers.

You can honestly buy a tiger cub for $7,500, and put a down payment on a play friend for him. That's a pretty good price for a cool way to die.

240 Ja Rule tickets. 

Giphy

Yes, he actually has upcoming shows this year and next. You could be the only one there, and that's not fraud, or false advertising.

There are so many things one can purchase with a threshold of $12,000, and these are just a few.

Don't get me wrong, a weekend getaway to a music festival is tempting, but, if there's anything you can spend your cash on, there are at least 10 things that would be more worth your while.

Dear Mom,

You took care of me and my brothers our entire lives and you still continue to! I will not be able to truly grasp all of the hard work that you put into this family until I create my own one day. But, I know that there are plenty of times I forgot to give you a simple thank you or an appreciative smile. I thank you for everything that you have done for me and will continue to do for me. Here are some examples of those times where you had my back and I forgot to pat your back for saving me:

College is hard. As people ages 18-22, we’re just trying to figure out what we’re doing with our lives, our careers, our eating habits, exercise routines, sleep patterns, and other necessities for adult life. We definitely don’t take proper care of ourselves; it’s basically impossible when we have essays, tests and readings due and somehow we’re supposed to eat right, exercise and sleep. We’re doomed to get sick. I have zero experience in science but when I get sick there are certain things I do to make myself better.

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.
