10 Ways To Experience Coachella In Your Own Backyard

Last weekend, social media was filled with one thing and one thing only: Coachella. Every Instagram feed was filled with celebrity’s stage pictures, clothing stores stocked up with their latest Coachella line and YouTube even had a live feed of the festival so that you can watch it from home (in case you didn’t have enough FOMO already).

If you’ve been living under a rock for the past week, Coachella is an annual music and arts festival in Indio, California in the Colorado Desert. It is three days of constant concerts, food, and entertainment. This festival attracts just under 200,000 people, and tickets are sold for around $400.


For many people, Coachella is a dream- that thing on their bucket list that is so close and yet just out of their reach. If you are one of those people, here are some ways to make you feel Coachella straight from your home.

1. Buy out all of H&M and Urban Outfitters- because Coachella requires an entirely new wardrobe.


2. Spend the entire day (or three) listening to Indie, Rock, Hip-hop and Electro music… make sure it’s extra loud!

3. Sleep in a tent in your backyard

4. Don’t shower for three days (who has the time with everything that’s going on!)

5. Post 500 Snapchats (with filters of course) and let your phone battery die every few hours.

6. Use a port-a-potty ONLY (the middle of the desert doesn't have plumbing...)

7. Watch the YouTube live feed and dance around like no one is watching.

8. Post some artsy, outdoors Instagrams with your friends.

9. Talk to some strangers — everyone is your friend at Coachella!

10. Eat some extremely sweet, fattening and over the top foods (and don’t forget to Instagram each bite!)

So… do you feel it? The energy, the joy and the freedom? Well, if you enjoyed the three days of no sleep, no showers and no worries — start saving: there’s always next year! #coachella2017 here I come (I wish!).

10 Truths About Being In A Sorority

(For Girls Who Are Interested In Greek Life)

Sorority
Rebekah Lee

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.

Tiana would no doubt be disappointed in the food our cafeteria has to offer.

And hopefully she would cook for everyone in her dorm.

She definitley would not take any 8:00 am classes because she would be up late baking and cleaning up the communal kitchen that are available in every dorm.
