A Review Of The Soggy Second Day Of  Governor's Ball 2016

The amount of rain that one person can handle cannot be tested until you are standing for two hours in the rain in a mosh pit waiting for The Killers to take the stage.

Before the rain hit however, Governor's Ball had some great acts. "Catfish and the Bottlemen" came on the main GOVBALLNYC stage at 3 PM. While their music was awesome, just hearing them talk in their British accents was even better. For those of you unfamiliar, this British modern rock band has some great hits. For starters, check out "Kathleen" or "Soundcheck".

After "Catfish and the Bottleman: came "Misterwives". This New-York based band was beaming to be playing on such a large stage in their hometown, and their radiance hit the crowd. They did not disappoint with some of their great hits like "Hurricane" and a new unreleased song called "Machine".

One of the craziest sets of the day has to go to Mac Miller. While the stage gave him some technical issues, the fans in the crowd did not seem to care. It all lead to an amass of the crowd screaming "F*** Donald Trump", because as most of us know there is no love lost between the two celebrities.

The first wave of rain came ironically enough during "Waves" singer Miguel's set, but this didn't let his set be any less great. In fact, it may have even enhanced it. Fans that stuck around got to see him rip off his shirt and sing hits like "Adorn" and "How Many Drinks".

Every single act of the day was amazing, but nothing could top the headlining band. Many fans left because they couldn't handle the rain, but the large amount of people that stuck around got to enjoy a soaking wet thrill ride. Starting off with "Mr. Brightside", the entire mosh pit was electric with an energy that can only be harnessed by die-hard fans waiting in the rain and created a true bonding experience for all around. They incorporated a tribute to Interpol for helping them in their early years and entered a rendition of Elvis's "Can't Help Falling in Love With You". With no new material for The Killers to promote, the entire set was a sing along for all who came, with hits like "Spaceman" and Somebody Told Me". The ending topped it all of with fireworks at the end of "When You Were Young", making the wait in the pouring rain all worth it.

I got soul but I'm not a soldier.

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.

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.

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.
