Why Everyone Should Go To A Music Festival At Least Once
Kat Adams

There are so many music festivals you could attend: Coachella, Firefly, Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo (of course) and so many more. Bonnaroo has been the first and only music festival I've been to, but after this amazing experience I want go to all the music festivals in the United States to mark off my bucket list. The music was killer, the food was amazing, and the positive vibes were off the chain. At Bonnaroo everyone is just happy and spreads the positive vibes by giving high fives to each other and you can constantly hear people breaking out in song. I highly recommend this festival because everyone is just free, it's a constant party, and you meet so many new people. Bonnaroo is magic, it's indescribable and it's something you have to experience yourself to get the full affect.

1. The Music

It is a music festival so all the artists that come are amazing. They have headliners which is the big named artists. but then they have some new comers to come and share their music too. Some of the headliners for 2016 were Pearl Jam, Ellie Goulding and Macklemore and Ryan Lewis. Some new artists I highly recommend are Borns, Lany and Oh Wonder. The great thing about Bonnaroo is they have so many stages/tents so there is constantly artists performing that you have a lot of options to choose from. One tent could have a country artist perform and then the next tent could be alternate or even rock so you have options.

2. The Food

Oh my god, I could just go on and on about the food. Delicious? Yes. Expensive? Yes. Worth it? Yes. They have such a variety of food to chose from. Bonnaroo has the best vendors come to serve their patrons. There are local breweries, food trucks galore, and the best Amish doughnuts you will ever eat. My personal favorite is the pizza and the burritos. Chilling in the TN heat you're going to need something cold. I recommend their pina coladas or frozen lemonade.

3. Fun Activities

Bonnaroo always has things for you to do in between music sets. When you're not chilling under a shady tree, they have shopping, yoga classes, ferris wheels, watersides, 5K runs, a comedy barn, a cinema, different clubs like silent disco, Kalliope and a Christmas themed club, and also the grove (a cool place to relax in a hammock). The possibilities are endless. There's also people who just play frisbee or hula hoop.

4. The Fashion

At music festivals you can wear whatever you want. I saw women completely topless #freethenipple and I saw a whole lot of ass and tie dye. I thoroughly enjoyed just watching people and seeing what they were wearing.

Don't let the preconceived idea that music festivals are just for young people stop you from going because that's not true, they are for all ages. I saw babies and old people (60 plus years). Music festivals are expensive but I highly recommend saving money to go to one because they are worth every penny.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
