The outfits are cool, but I'm here to talk about the music.

5 Things You Missed At Coachella 2016

While everyone else has been living their lives, I was busy live-streaming (read: daydreaming) about Coachella. In case you have no clue what that is, Coachella is one of the most prominent music festivals in the United States. For two weekends in April, Coachella Valley is packed to the brim with music lovers and celebrities alike. Here are some of the artists that you missed if you weren’t at the festival (or glued to your computer screen).

1. Purity Ring


Yes, they have an interesting name, but this group is so much more than a name. With catchy beats and great lead vocals this is definitely an electronic duo that you should check out if you haven’t heard of them. Lucky for you, they’re going to be on tour until August if you end up falling in love with them.

2. Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros


When I first heard this group I did not want to give them a fair chance, but then I heard them play their song “Home.” If you didn’t watch the live-stream, or you weren’t at the festival then you missed out on a beautiful moment where Edward Sharpe spoke to a fan who told him that his music changes people’s lives. I’m not going to lie, it made me cry a little. Skip to 4:00 minutes in the video if you want to cry as well.

3. James Bay


This little hipster Jesus is one of my new favorite artists thanks to Coachella. All of his songs make me want to sing along and hold up a lighter while I’m swaying from side to side. This man really gives off the campfire singing vibe, and it’s incredibly refreshing amongst all of the pizzaz and entertainment that’s present at Coachella.

4. A$AP Rocky feat. Kanye


Okay, first thing’s first. Everyone knows who Kanye is, but what most people don’t know is that A$AP’s set was cut off right after he pulled Kanye on stage to perform with him! A$AP Rocky started singing a song, but then realized that his microphone was off. Which ultimately lead to a lot of anger both on and off stage. So long story short, not a new artist, but definitely something you missed out on!

5. Halsey + Brandon Urie


First, Halsey is an up and coming artist who is constantly challenging the status quo with her hair and her music. Second, she brought out an artist who helped to inspire her to become who she is today! If you haven’t heard of Halsey then I’m sure you’ve heard of Panic! At the Disco. Brandon Urie of Panic! came out to help Halsey sing “New Americana” as well as “I Write Sins not Tragedies.”

I guess you’re not missing out on everything in life if you weren’t at Coachella, but you at least missed some once in a lifetime musical experiences. If you’re half the music nerd that I am, you’ll be buying your tickets for Coachella 2017 the minute they go on sale!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
