Ah, Coachella. The time of the year thousands of young adults all collectively travel to the desert to watch an overpriced line-up and camp out of their cars. While I've spent my fair share of time at music festivals in my short life, I've never made the homage trip to Coachella in Southern California. With the festival season rapidly approaching, it's fun to admire the very specific groups of people who pay for these events year by year.

1. The 'Instagram' Girls

I honestly am always jealous of girls like these when I see these pictures. How do they come up with these totally hip, but original outfits? Let me know if you do!

2. The Random High Schoolers

As a young adult, I can guarantee you that there's nothing more terrifying than running into your best friend's high school age sister in the middle of a festival. Mom and dad, as a college student who has been to these events, hold off on these until your child is in college. I couldn't imagine attending before I was an adult.

3. The Frat Boys

If you love sweaty, shirtless meathead guys accidentally bumping into you during every set, find your local circle of fraternity brothers. Keep an eye out for guys in basketball jerseys, frat bro-tanks, and even no shirt at all and you've found the right place.

4. The Random Parents

One of my personal favorites are the adults who randomly seem to love enjoying these festivals as well. Some 50-something parents rocking out to Dillon Francis was the best thing I've seen all year.

5. Rave Culture Squads

Possibly the most frightening are the people who dress up in these ridiculous outfits, dance better than everyone and terrify me with their face masks. Most likely they will be holding up a totem that reads, "If you're lost, come dance with us!"

Whether you feel you belong to any of these groups, are between, or none, music festivals are a great deal of fun for anyone. With that in mind, remember to always be safe, always be with someone, and to not over-do it. All in all, if you're traveling to Coachella, Outside Lands, Lollapalooza, or anything else, have fun and enjoy the music.

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.
