7 Music Festivals In The Central US
City Pages

Music is something that has a special place in the hearts of many people. Music festivals are collections of music and people who enjoy it just as much as you do. If you live in the central US and you're a music lover, here a few festivals you might want to check out. Some festivals aren't for everyone, but the music (as well as other stuff) is good at all of these. Whether you're a country fan, a hardcore rocker or just enjoy live music, you'll find something on this list you'll want to attend.

1. Lollapalooza.

Lollapalooza is a four-day outdoor concert that takes place in Grant Park Chicago. There are eight different stages including one for kids. This festival pulls major names; this year acts include Lana Del Rey, Radiohead, Future, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Halsey.

2. Country Jam.

OK, obviously not everyone is into country music, so if you aren't a fan, skip this one. Country Jam takes place in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, and headlines many top hit country singers. There is onsite camping to give you the full experience, or if you prefer you can shuttle from a hotel.

3. Vans Warped Tour.

Not exactly a festival, but definitely a day worth marking down on your calendar. They make stops in Minnesota, Michigan, Wisconsin and Illinois. It's only a day long event but features several artists and literally lasts all day long.

4. Summer Set Music Festival.

A three-day festival in Somerset, Wisconsin. Get a camping pass and enjoy the music, or hang out with friends and drink the day away or even tube down the river. No matter what, you'll find a way to entertain yourself here.

5. Rock Fest Wisconsin.

Located in Cadott, Wisconsin, this is a three-day weekend full of rock and roll. You are able to camp on the grounds and let the party continue all night long. Acts include new age rock bands a few classics.

6. Basilica Block Party.

This is another one that's not quite a festival, but it's two nights full of music on the streets surrounding the historical Church of Basilica. There are three different stages, all hosting acts with different musical styles.

7. 515 Alive.

This is a no-camping two-day outdoor grassroots festival in De Moines, Iowa. Although the music ends fairly early in the night, each night has an after party so you can keep the music flowing all night long.

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.
