Preparing You For The Festivals
Gazette Review

We are less than a month away until spring starts which means that you have already bought your tickets for the upcoming festivals and you can't wait to go through the entrance and start moving your happy feet. Huge festivals such as Coachella, EDC, Ultra Music Festival and others will mostly be held in spring and in the summer. With your excitement of the upcoming festivities here are some suggestions to get you prepared for the hot and sunny weather with great music.

1. Stay Hydrated

One thing I can't stress enough is that water will always be your best friend. It is probably the most important thing to have with you especially under the hot sun. The good thing is that some festivals actually give you water for free and they can fill up any bottle that you bring. The best thing to have with you is a camelbak, which can carry your belongings along with a two liter water pouch.

2. Plan Ahead

You won't be the only one that wants to see their favorite artist on stage so its highly suggested that you print out a copy of the set times for each day. The reason is because sometimes your two favorite artists might start at the same time so there may be a possibility that you will have to flip a coin to choose.

3. Comfy Shoes

These are not one stage concerts. These are festivals with multiple stages which means you will be walking around a lot. Try to wear the right shoes. Flats will ruin your feet to the point when you don't feel like dancing anymore. Walking and resting sometimes won't solve the solution of your aching feet.

4. Front Row Doesn't Matter

I remember the first festival my friend and I tried to force our way to the front. Probably a bad idea because we could barely move our arms and the heat started to build up from the body temperature. But as we ended up going to the back with more space, it felt more comfortable for us. If you are trying to look at your favorite artists up close, it will almost be impossible and irritating. If you are willing to hold your urine for a two hour set go for it, but once you get out there is no going back in. I suggest going to the back because of the amount of space you will have and besides, the music is loud enough for you to hear.

5. Ear Plugs

Caution. There will be loud music with incredible bass so if you have sensitive ears, I would highly advise you to bring ear plugs. The closer you are to a speaker, the higher the possibility you may go deaf.

6. Sun Screen

Other than having water as your main resource, sun screen is also a must. The fact that you will be under high degree weather, sun screen should be applied before entering the fun.

7. Have Fun

Most importantly, have fun. Go out there and meet new people with love and respect. These festivals are a great get away from reality so make sure you live it to the fullest and have no regrets.

Enjoy and stay safe ravers.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
