Every year Governors Ball aka Gov Ball, seems to be the second best thing to Coachella in terms of a festival like concert.

3. Starboy: Legend of the Fall 2017 World Tour: The Weeknd

7. Kendrick Lamar: The Damn Tour

Not only is Kendrick Lamar going on tour, but he is bringing Travis Scott and D.R.A.M. This is probably one of the most talented groups of people that could go on tour together. Travis Scott is one of the best performers I have ever seen and if you don't go to this concert, you will regret it. Go see these guys on July 20th and 23rd at the Barclay's Center in Brooklyn, NY.

8. 4 Your Eyez Only World Tour: J Cole

Back in the fall of 2016 J Cole made it obvious he wasn't going on tour in 2017 after performing at The Meadows. He must have changed his mind so it would be a mistake not to see this amazing performer! Go see J Cole on August 1st or 2nd at the Barclays Center!

9. Coldplay: Head Full Of Dreams Tour

One of the last concerts of the summer is Coldplay. They have been around for a while, but their music never gets old. I saw them last summer and it was such an electrifying atmosphere. This concert was special because young kids to older adults were having just as much fun. They weren't supposed to be performing this summer, but they extended their tour because of the popular demand. This may be one of the last times Coldplay will go on tour; this isn't a concert you would want to miss. August 1st, MetLife Stadium, BE THERE!

Things People Without A Typical 'Boy Name' or 'Girl Name' Know To Be True

All names should be "unisex names."

Tulane University

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

Washington College

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

14 Things The Extremely Pale Are Tired Of Hearing

I get it... I'm pale.

University of Vermont

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
