Fest Season is legendary at Ohio University and Bobcats are gearing up for the final fest of the season, #numberfest. Here are a list of the essentials for a awesome14Fest:

1. Fanny Pack

It's not the best fashion statement, I'll agree. But when it comes to logistics, you need a place to put your valuables and you'll want something that you don't have to constantly hold in your hands.

2. Selfie Stick

4'9" or 6'2", it gets hard to see the stage and to capture the full effect of the environment. As ridiculous as the invention of a selfie stick is to some, in a crowd full of thousands of people, it proves pretty useful.

3. $h!tty Shoes

If you buy shitty shoes, you are going to have a great time. Trust me. The field gets muddy and your nice white Converse will not be white by the evening. Do yourself a favor, save yourself some tears, and wear shoes that are meant for mud/rain or that you don't care to throw away.

4. A Ride Arranged For Afterward

If you know a person who knows a person that can provide transportation after the fest, take it. The five-mile walk back is a long and dark road and even longer after standing all day. Do not count on the buses to take you back to campus -- ask anybody who went to 13Fest and had to walk back on the 'Trail of Tears.'

5. A Charged Phone... Or Else

A dead phone at a fest is like losing your mom in the grocery store when you're six. So when you leave to fest, make sure your phone is at 100% and nothing less! And conserve, conserve, conserve.

6. Sunscreen

This goes out to all the fair-skinned fest-goers who burn easily: don't underestimate the sun and don't overestimate your skin. Being a lobster isn't fun or cool.

7. Cash

They do not accept meal swipes, Bobcat cash, or flex points. Withdraw cash, because you will get hungry and you will get thirsty... with that being said, stay hydrated!

8. Toilet Paper

If only toilet paper rolls were as long as the lines to the bathrooms. Save yourself the struggle and pack some TP for your pee-pee before you go.

9. Patience

There are thousands of people that attend numbers' fest and chances are at least one will get on your nerves. Remember, patience is a virtue and that no amount of annoyance is worth getting arrested over.

10. Your Craziest Outfit

Nobody will judge you. In fact, they'll probably compliment you or try and take parts of your clothes (shout out to the girl who tried to take my straw hat last year).

11. Energy

Be on your best and your fest behavior! OU OH YEAH!
