Thinking Of Heading To The Meadows?

The creators of Governor's Ball are bringing a new festival to New York City. The inaugural edition of The Meadows Music and Art Festival is this fall, on October 1st and 2nd in Queens. The location of the festival is slightly deceiving - it's marketed as being held in Flushing Meadows Park, but it's actually going to be at Citi Field, taking over the expansive parking lots outside the stadium.

Logistically, the festival seem to be off to a rocky start, but the lineup is incredibly solid and is what convinced me to get passes. Kanye will be closing out the festival, and really, what more could you ask for? Accompanying Yeezus is a myriad of artists, including some super exciting electronic acts.

If you're thinking of attending, it's useful to note that all but one of the electronic artists on the lineup are playing on Saturday. Kygo will be taking the main stage on Sunday, but the rest of the day is indie pop bands and the one and only Mr. West (is it obvious I'm a huge fan yet?).

Moving on... Saturday you'll be able to catch Grimes, Zhu, Pretty Lights, Chromeo, Sylvan Esso, and Empire of the Sun. This will be my fourth time seeing Grimes in the span of a year, and honestly, every set has been entirely worth it. Her live show is incredible - between the execution of her arrangements, the dancers, and her incredible high energy, you can't turn away from the stage for the entirety of her set. I've yet to see the other acts, but am super stoked too.

Here are some highlight songs to preview what you can see at The Meadows:





And even though Yeasayer isn't considered an electronic act, this synth heavy song rules and their set is worth checking out:

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.
