I Got The Best Life Advice From 3 Gov Ball Artists

The best thing you can do is not give a f*ck

I Got The Best Life Advice From 3 Gov Ball Artists
Governors Ball Music Festival

I learned a lot about myself at Gov Ball. I learned I cannot go very long near a pizza station before I desperately need a slice. I learned I really cannot stand high school and college students, especially if they have been drinking vodka Gatorades in preparation for Chance the Rapper. I get it. I was in high school once, but it is 3:30 p.m. on a Friday and you are passed out in the middle of the field. I also learned a lot from Lo Moon, Saint Motel and Michael Blume.

After Friday's performances, I headed straight for amazon.com and checked out Denis Johnson. He is on my summer reading list and Lo Moon lead singer Matt Lowell agrees.

I highly recommend bringing "Jesus' Son," a collection of short stories, on your commute to your coveted internship in NYC.

When I am not reading, I am constantly thinking about my job, my love life (or lack thereof) and my friends and family. I am a perfectionist. What can I say? I am your classic Virgo. I need to chill.

Saint Motel does a little pre-show horseplay which I have added to my morning routine. No horse masks though, because then it would be weird. And for the record, Saint Motel is not weird.

After I do my morning horseplay I remind myself of why I am where I am and what I am doing every day to get to the next step. Michael Blume gave me some great advice and living each day for myself and no one else.

"Trust. Commit. Commit to doing and being what you want to do. And just give no fucks. There's just no time to give fucks. There's no fucking time."

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.
