The Bonnaroo line-up was posted, and within minutes, every sorority Facebook page was filled with posts, making an attempt to organize the perfect Roo crew (ahem, guilty). No matter which music festival it was that got your favorite pair of Norts in a bunch, I’m sure similar things crossed your mind.
A $300 ticket that promises days of all of your favorite bands, getting to dance around with your favorite hula hoop, and of course, a chance to really get in touch with nature while enjoying the company of all your fellow earth and music-loving friends. I’m pretty sure the following may have crossed the minds of every sorority girl before the thought of “Who is actually playing?” did.1. High-Waisted, Shorts, Crop Tops, and Flower Headbands.Let us all take a moment to bow our heads and thank The Lord for the comeback of the high-waisted shorts. They just caught back on so you’re definitely “trendy” if you own a pair. Oh, and if you bought them from Goodwill and fringed them up on your own, you should go ahead and buy the VIP package to Roo because you are as hip as it gets.
2.InstagramYes. Another social media outlet that paves the way for how girls advertise their seemingly fun and adventurous lives when in reality, the 30 minutes they spent editing a picture was while they were switching tabs between their Pinterest boards (probably the “Summer” board or “Places I want to travel to” if I’m being specific) and season 5 of Gossip Girl on Netflix. Whatever the case may be, there is nothing more like-worthy than you and your friends looking high on life in your crop tops, flower headbands (that you just bought from Urban Outfitters), and a Valencia filter. Oh, maybe Earlybird -- it’s a little more rustic and hip. #DoubleTheFilterNeeded.
3. Booze, Boys, and Bank Accounts. I think these three can all fall under one category. Whether it is the chance to hydrate responsibly with a Coors Light, explore your other taste in guys (the hipster), or spend your hard earned money from working at the local ice cream shop on a ticket to see bands you know are talented but couldn’t name one of their songs, it’s all well worth it in the end when you come home sporting the music festival’s name on a grungy wristband.
4. Sisterly Bonding. Enough poke fun. There really is no better friendship than one with a sorority sister. And if it takes pitching a tent, not showering for four days, and listening to a playlist with all the bands’ most popular songs on repeat for two weeks in advance, for you to get together with your out-of-state sisters, then by all means, go buy yourself that ticket and those high-waisted jeans.
