Why You Should Go To Bonnaroo

Festival season is here. Lineups have been announced, tickets have begun to sell out, and the countdowns have started. And although all music festivals are a guaranteed good time, there's one that stands out from all the rest: Bonnaroo.

Bonnaroo is located in Manchester, TN, and is widely thought to be a place for dirty hippies to get high for four days straight. Which let's be real, it kind of is. But, it's so much more than that.

Everything at Bonnaroo has a sense of magic, from the music, the experience, the people, and the food. And yes, festival food can be magical. Ever eaten an Amish doughnut or a piece of Spicy Pie pizza? No? Get back to me once you do.

First and foremost, Bonnaroo is a music festival, and man, is the music great. 'Roo brings oldies, rappers, rock stars, and EDM artists together for an absolutely insane lineup every year. The effect? A group of people brought together, not by a love of one singular type of music, but an overall love.

'Roo is a great place for music, but like I said, it's so much more. It's got everything from waterslides to yoga classes, and even a 5k if you're crazy and want to run in the blazing Tennessee heat. Basically, Bonnaroo makes it to where there's always something to do. And yes, falling asleep under a tree counts as "something" too.

Once you go to Bonnaroo, you'll carry the ideas and mindset associated with the Farm with you wherever you may go. High-five Fridays are real, and good vibes really are found everywhere on the Farm. I still haven't figured out that if it's because of the place, or the people, that makes it such a great community. Honestly, I think it's both. You never meet a stranger at 'Roo, and everyone there is there for the same reason: they want to experience their brain on music. Trust me, it makes for an awesome time.

So, if you haven't been, go. If you have been, go back. I'm counting the days until I'm no longer a broke college student and can go back, because Bonnaroo really is the happiest place on Earth.

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.
