We couldn't be more excited!

The Countdown to Coachella Begins

As about everyone has heard through Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat and more, the Coachella lineup has been released followed by the sellout of weekend 1 & 2 tickets in less than 40 minutes. 

If you were one of the fortunate souls who scored upon a ticket last Wednesday (or were even sneakier last May when presale tickets came out), then you have much to look forward to. 

Giant astronauts floating through the sky, the opportunity to hold a 200-yard-long strand of balloons, $5 watermelon slices, dust storms, getting your camp site destroyed by strong gusts of wind, old drunk people getting their groove on, mosh pits, lack of clothing, and listening to your favorite artists while covered in sweat and dirt all make up the experience of Coachella. 

If you've never been, you're in for a treat. And for those experienced veterans, you know how f*ckin awesome of a weekend you're about to have.

Somehow, Coachella manages to replicate a memorable, crazy and entertaining festival each year yet still concentrates on a variation of different artists and genres. This year, Coachella's lineup featured about 50% electronic/edm-type artists (which we can all predict... Sahara Tent's gonna be going offffff). Read more here.

Some may be excited, some may be confused, some upset, but Coachalla still manages to balance out favored genres with big rock names such as AC/DC and Steely Dan, indie artists like Tame Impala and Alt-J, and rap with the one and only Drake. Some other smaller artists I'd suggest checking out are the electro remixes of Gessafelstein, the modern funk beats of Grammatik and Ratatat, smooth flows of SBTRKT, or up-and-coming Hozier ("Take me to Church"), Vance Joy ("Riptide"), and Milky Chance ("Stolen Dance"), whom all share amazing indie rock style albums. And especially pay attention to artists like Deorro who just announced the end to his short-lived DJ career, meaning this is one of the only times you will be able to appreciate his music live. 

Overall, expect some major excitement and awesome times this year. So pack up your indie outfits & flower crowns, camel backs & camping gear, and prepare for a weekend that you'll remember for the rest of your life. Only 3 months to go!!

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
