Mayfest 2019: A Review
@thegr8khalid on Instagram

The gloomy weather and scattered drizzle didn't stop Syracuse University students from having a blast this weekend at Mayfest, which took place Friday, April 26th, 2019. Beginning as early as 10 a.m., music could be heard across campus as everyone began pregaming for the day.

For me, it was a day full of corn dogs and cheeseburgers as per usual. The day ended in the Dome as Khalid took the stage for my favorite Block Party yet. Overall, I had a great time. So, what did everyone else have to say about it? I asked some of my fellow students to find out.

"Mayfest was quite chaotic per usual, but I always love bumping into people I know! The corn dogs and cheeseburgers also never disappoint. After listening to Khalid's new album, I knew I had to see him at Block Party. It's definitely annoying when you have to wait 3 hours to see him perform for an hour, but I had so much fun singing along to all of his new songs and top hits!"

--Ariel Hylton

"My favorite part of the day was all the free food. That's honestly the main reason I came. My least favorite was how you can't buy alcohol at Block Party. They should sell alcohol."

-- Jordan Nuber

"Tailgates were my favorite part. It's nice to be able to wander around Mayfest and see people you haven't seen in a hot sec. Khalid was also really, really good. I went to all three Block Parties and had floor tickets each time, but I liked Khalid's set the best and I knew most of his songs. As for cons, I thought Mayfest was just alright. I thought it was really gloomy, which kind of killed the mood. Also, acts took so long to go on stage and once Whethan went on stage everyone was shoving and pushing. Block Party intermission was too long too."

--Megan Hu

"I wasn't expecting it to be that good of a concert, and it was a good concert."

--Clay Rott

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
