11 Reasons Why People Love Music Festivals

cdn.WeGotThisCovered.com

Anyone who knows me, knows that I love music festivals. I love the environment and all the people I meet along the way. A music festival is more than just an extended concert filled with some of your favorite musicians. It is an escape from the real world and this is an experience that can only be had when at one of these festivals.

1. Picking out super cute and fun outfits.

Everyone loves getting new outfits, especially when you are buying for a cool theme. No matter what type of music festival you are going to, a cool outfit is part of the fun and gets you pumped for the upcoming festival.

2. The road trip to the festival.

They do say that getting there is half the fun and I'd have to agree!

3. Camping out.

If you're at a festival where camping is a thing, this is the best way to meet new people right from the start.

4. Walking into the festival for the first time.

Cue the chorus of angels. Probably one of the best moments of a festival. You have butterflies and can't believe you are finally there.

5. Getting some of the good food.

Just try not to spend all your money on the food, even if it is extremely good.

6. Seeing your favorite artist.

Just try to keep it together, don't want to embarrass yourself.

7. Discovering new artists (that are really good).

Let the obsession and stalking commence.

8. Meeting new and really cool people.

Instantly bonding with people over the music or just life in general. Festivals are an awesome place to meet future best friends.

9. Casually meeting musicians after a set.

Just try and keep calm. Don't act weird, as hard as that may seem.

10. Dancing like a crazy person and no one cares

Let your freak out and dance like no one's watching.

11. Watching the awesome lights, fireworks and stages at night.

As soon as the sun sets, that's when the true magic happens. Everything looks so surreal and you really feel like you are in a completely different world.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

St. Thomas Aquinas College

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:

For some of us, coming to college was the first time we ever had to share a room. It was a big change, but a fun one.

We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.
