5 Music Festival Essentials

The weather is heating up, the days are getting longer, and sunburns are getting more inevitable. Of course this all means that festival season is upon us. Hangout happened just this past weekend, and Firefly is just a few weeks away. So if you happen to be going to one of these, let me offer some suggestions on what to bring.

1. Camelbak

Festivals start kicking off around midday for the most part. This means that its going to be hot as hell. When you throw alcohol and probably drugs (you vagrants) into the mix, you're going to be sweating a lot. When you get that headache, the water kiosk is going to be miles away. You know what the easy fix is? A water bottle on your back. A Camelbak. Its also a backpack so you can put your stuff in there, which is also very important. Keep your stuff safe.


2.Sunglasses

See how there isn't a photo? Thats because everyone knows what sunglasses are. Anyway, its going to be sunny out, sometimes the sun might be right above the band you're watching and you'll be blinded. Solution? Sunglasses. Snag a quality pair for cheap on Etsy.

Here's a gif of them anyways you animals:


3. Walkie Talkies

In case you weren't aware, cellphone coverage at festivals is terrible. If you can send an iMessage then you have witnessed an act of God. Anyway, in order to keep in touch with your buddies, get yourself some walkie talkies and enough batteries!


4. A Totem Pole

Another great way to let the group know where you are. Also you can have a ton of fun with it.

5. Sunscreen

Were you raised by wolves? No. So bring some sunscreen to the festival! The sport spray bottles are quick and easy. If you don't, this will be you:


For The Campers: Ok if you are camping at the festival, you will need many things, including: a tent, a lantern, plenty of water, a sleeping bag, pillows, camping chairs, and you know what? This stuff seems pretty logical after that, just remember toiletries.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

It is no secret that many American traditions have changed over time. As we grow older we change in so many ways that it only makes sense that we also change the way we celebrate special occasions. Of course when it comes to the holidays there are some family traditions that many of us still excitedly look forward to, whether it is eating your favorite dish or seeing favorite cousin. However, we all know that the holidays have overall changed a little from what they used to be.
