Whether you're at a music festival with a group of friends, family, or twitter followers, it's always bound to be an amazing experience (unless you're at Fyre Festival). However, one vital component to truly enjoy a music festival is the lineup.

From indie folk to hip-hop, Music Festivals are for everybody under the sun, and here is my personal opinion on the best lineups in 2017

5. Austin City Limits

Austin City Limits is usually limited to Texas natives, and a few who would like to travel to Texas. Austin City Limits is in Zilker Park, a 12 minute drive away from beautiful University of Texas at Austin. The lineup consists of various well-known rappers (Jay Z, Chance the Rapper, A$AP Ferg, D.R.A.M.) and a healthy mix of rock and indie (The Killers, The Head and the Heart, and Gorillaz). Even if you don't enjoy the lineup, there's bounds more in the city to explore.

4. Bonnaroo

"The Farm" is the location referenced to when talking about Bonnaroo. Only an hour away from University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, many college students from there and afar will come to experience the atmosphere of the barn. With performers such as Travis Scott, Lorde, and Red Hot Chili Peppers, it's bound to be a fantastic time at "The Farm".


3. Boston Calling


Boston Calling is on this list because of both the scenery and the lineup. Even though it is one of the lesser known music festivals, Boston Calling's lineup still packs a punch. Mumford & Sons and Cage the Elephant headline the rock and roll aspect of the festival, while Chance the Rapper follows right behind with the hip hop aspect. This lineup is meant for more of those "indie-rocker" type people. Meanwhile, you can also explore the beautiful campus of Harvard University and the city of Boston, Massachusetts.


2. Coachella


Coachella, the pinnacle of all music festivals, where can be sure to encounter familiar faces such as Kylie Jenner and Drake. Set in sunny SoCal, Coachella is one of the most scenic festivals out there. However, the only downside is that the closest major campus is University of California at Los Angeles, which is still a hefty two and a half hours away. However, a packed lineup with Travis Scott, Lady Gaga, Kendrick Lamar, and various others may make the $400 for a general admission ticket worth it.

1. Hangout Festival


Hangout Festival, in my opinion, is the single best music festival. With Mumford and Sons at the helm of the ship, Frank Ocean, Chance the Rapper, and MGMT all make this festival worth coming to. With scenery right next to the ocean, it serves as a much better backdrop then just palm trees and sunshine. Also, only a few hours away from a popular spring break spot, Panama City Beach, it serves as an alternative to the party-crazed town.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
