15 Thoughts Everyone Has At Lollapalooza
Marisa Bucolo

For many Chicagoans, Lollapalooza marks the end of summer. It is a great place to spend with friends before heading off to school just a few weeks later. The weekend long festival leaves you with plenty of memories to spare.

Each day is a new experience with different lineups, weather, and crazy outfits. Despite the Chicago heat and the gigantic crowds, Lollapalooza always hosts a huge turnout. Since Lollapalooza 2017 is one for the books, let's see what everyone was thinking this year.

1. "Let's meet at Perry's!"

The iconic sign that happens to be everyone'sdesignated meeting place.

2. "Is that *name of a friend you haven't seen in years*?"

If they're from Chicago, it's probably them.

3. "My blisters have blisters."

Breaking in your shoes before heading to Grant Park is a must.

4. "Can we get Rainbow Cone?"

Answer: Yes.

5. "I can't wait to shower."

While listening to your Lollapalooza playlist, of course.

6. "Whose glitter is this?"

If you don't leave with glitter on you, did you even go to Lolla?

7. "IT'S SO HOT!!!!"

A breeze cast upon a mosh pit is a gift from the heavens.

8. "Don't step in that vomit."

From lobster corndogs to cans of Red Bull to the long lines at the bathroom, sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do -- just don't step in it.

9. "What are they wearing...?"

Whether it's a banana costume or nipple pasties, Lollapalooza outfits always turn heads.

10. "Should we catch the 11:00 or the 11:40?"

Either way, you better plan accordingly before your train leaves early due to passenger overload and you are stuck downtown until 1 a.m.

11. "Do you think I can sneak *Lollapalooza contraband* in?"

If you have to ask, you probably can't (but you'll try anyway).

12. "I think my lungs just fell out of my body"

The bass drops at Perry's are so insane, you can feel them all the way from Lakeshore.

13. "I'm dying."

A very simple statement that's all too real. Translates to: "I am so tired.", "My head hurts.", "Why did I buy a 4-day?", and "I need water."

14. "When I was here last year..."

I'm 100% convinced people start going to Lollapalooza right out of the womb with the number of stories people share about past summers.

15. "I love my city."

Despite all the havoc that goes on at Lollapalooza, everyone loves spending time in the city. Seeing Grant Park transformed into the nation's coolest concert venue is incredible. The skyline hugs the festival and welcomes people from all over to enjoy awesome music.

For better or for worse, we love you, Lollapalooza! Even though we complain sometimes, we will still buy a 4-day. See you next summer!

I thought senioritis in high school was rough until I became a college senior about to go into the real world. I'm supposed to have everything figured out, right? I mean I went through four years of tough classes and serious self-searching (and crying). What I found overall was Senioritis sneaking up on me.

College is filled with many things, and we're so often lectured to make the right decisions as we head out on our own into the college life. But sometimes it's necessary to indulge in some guilty pleasures as well as just doing things because you can. And honestly, a lot of the time it's inevitable. College is no piece of cake that's for sure, so it's okay to do some things you deep down know you shouldn't....once in a while anyways.
