Labor Day Weekend in Dillon has been dubbed, "Montana's Biggest Weekend." There is the Beaverhead County Fair, the PRCA rodeo, and beer. This extended weekend results in college students and non-college students doing college student things. Did we mention that there is beer? You get the idea. If you have never been a witness or participant in the festivities, we are here to shed a light on common thoughts had during Labor Day Weekend in Dillon.

(Disclaimer: We do not condone underage drinking. We do not condone binge drinking or any kind of excessive consumption of alcohol. These are simply our experiences in Dillon, MT over Labor Day weekend.)

1. I need to hydrate. Vodka counts as hydrating, right?

2. TO THE METLEN!

3. My shoes don't match. Who let me leave the house wearing crocs?

4. COPSSSSSS

They're everywhere this weekend. I mean on every corner, alley, front door, maybe even in your backyard if you're that unlucky.

5. Oh wait, I'm 21. I don't have to worry about cops. If you're not 21, refer to the previous statement.

6. I'll have the cheapest tequila available. Thanks.

GIPHY

7. Upon meeting a random stranger in bathroom, "YOU'RE MY BEST FRIEND."

You'll meet a lot of new people. Let's not forget to be nice to people you meet, whether or not either of you will remember it the next day.

8. Fireball is definitely my best friend.

GIPHY

9. THIS IS MY SONGGGGG.

GIPHY

10. I just ran into my 8th grade teacher. She's dancing to Fetty Wap.

We have no words for when this happens.. Just walk away.

11. WHY isn't there any restaurants open at 3am?

But wait!

12. MCDONALD'S IS OPEN 24HRS OVER LABOR DAY!!

GIPHY

13. I'm lost. I'm lost and alone and I don't know where any of my friends are.

GIPHY

14. I'm gonna take a nap. I'm gonna take a nap right here.

GIPHY

15. BUT THIS IS MY SONGGGG.

GIPHY

16. Why are all of the girls crying?

GIPHY

17. Seriously. Stop crying.

GIPHY

18. Have a tequila shot.

GIPHY

19. Last call already?!

GIPHY

20. Where's the after party?

GIPHY

21. It's fine, we have 2 more days left.

GIPHY

If you've been in Dillon over Labor Day, we assume you've experienced AT LEAST one of these. If not, you must have been somewhere else during Montana's Biggest Weekend. If you're going this year we hope to see you!

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
