Hell week is here and it's going to be pretty awful. However, the best day of the year is on Saturday -- Triangle Beach Music Festival, and that's enough motivation to power through for the next few days. TBMF can get a little dangerous, but with a few of these tips, hopefully, you won't be that girl passed out on a cooler at 2 p.m. (you know what I'm talking about).

Carbs, carbs, carbs. Eat a nice, big meal the night before. Probably pasta or pizza; calories do not count when it comes to TBMF so just go ham and have whatever you want. Probably slug down a couple extra cups of water for safe measure, too.

Starting your day. Set an alarm for bright and early. You should probably be up and moving around 7 a.m., so naturally set five alarms from 6:30 a.m. until then so you actually rally. Grab a beer and take a shower.

Attire. It's hot hot hot, so stick to a tank and shorts -- nothing too nice, though, because there's a solid chance you will end up on the ground at some point throughout the day.

Breakfast. It's the most important meal of the day, obviously, but that holds true especially on TBMF. Go to Bruggers, get a nice bagel (or five), or head over to Bojangles and get something greasy; it doesn't matter what it is, but you definitely want to eat something.

Pack a cooler. Remember, no glass bottles -- but load the cooler up with all the necessities (beer, Gatorade, and lunchables). You can thank me later about the lunchables.

Wear sunscreen. It's hot, and you'll be under the sun from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Also, it's finals starting on Monday, so carrying a 50 pound backpack with sunburn is not ideal.

Live it up. It's a great day to hang with your friends and hear some beach music. Remember, it's a marathon, not a sprint. Don't plan anything for that night; there's about a zero percent chance you will rally if you do TBMF right.

Happy Saturdage!!!!
