So, you've finally made it. The wind is breezing past your face, and you managed to get yourself passes to the Bonnaroo music festival in Manchester, Tennessee. Congratulations. The next step is figuring out who you want to see. Bonnaroo features artists of several different genres, and if you prefer alternative-rock music, there is an abundance of acts that you must see.

Bonnaroo is all about freeing yourself, camping, community, and enjoying so many alluring artists. If you're lucky enough to win tickets (as I've have tried and tried to no avail), or you splurged and bought the $300 passes, here are some must see alternative acts that will not let you down:

1. U2

If you're in the mood for an "oldie but a goodie", U2 will be taking the stage as the front-runners of Bonnaroo's 4-day festival.

2. Red Hot Chili Peppers

Give it away, give it away now-- RHCP will be slaying the Bonnaroo stage and are a staple in the alt-rock community.

3. Lorde

With the concept of Lorde's new album being in the works, her comeback to the stage will be nothing short of phenomenal, and she is a have-to-see act this Bonnaroo season.

4. Cage The Elephant

Cage The Elephant is going to be at Bonnaroo, and you know you can't miss them as their new album has been topping the charts.

5. Glass Animals

If you're in the mood for something a little more groovy, Glass Animals will exude all expectations.

6. Milky Chance

These two are the definition of good vibes, and will be a underrated staple at Bonnaroo.

7. Cold War Kids

These guys have been around the block, and finally have blessed us with an amazing album, and will bless your ears at the festival.

8. Kaleo

Way down we go-- Kaleo has taken the charts by storm, and is a definite must see at Bonnaroo this year.

9. Strumbellas

The Stumbellas have a unique sound that blends rock and folk, while creating a new vibe altogether, which is why you have to stop by and see them play.

10. The Front Bottoms

The Front Bottoms has a sound that's all their own, and are a must see!

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.
