BottleRock Music Festival celebrates Northern California's love for music, beautiful weather, and amazing food, wine, and brewing in the heart of Napa.

The seventh BottleRock brought another year of music and culinary fanatics to the three-day festival on May 24th - 26th. The festival brings a taste of summer to many California natives and visiting festival fanatics.

Every year BottleRock puts their own twist on what makes a festival special by including unique experiences such as a Silent Disco, a spa and salon, art, and the option to have a platinum or VIP experience.

This year's headliners, Imagine Dragons, Neil Young, and Mumford & Sons, are one of the many reasons the festival sold out.

The festival had a great number of other perks that contributed to the sell-out such as smaller and well-known artists and chefs that brought in many eager to learn foodies.

As apart of media for BottleRock 2019, I chose to cover OneRepublic and Neon Trees. Both acts performed on Friday, which had the nicest weather of all three days.

Neon Trees played on the main stage for an hour starting at 3:15 p.m. If you don't remember them, go ahead and listen to their multiple hit singles including "Animal," "Everybody Talks," and "Sleeping With a Friend."

Neon Trees didn't miss a beat despite their brief hiatus. The crowd was very into the performance singing the words to every song and the band definitely fed off this energy.

Tyler Glenn, the lead singer of the band, danced all over the stage and sang each song to perfection. The band was in sync and seemed to be enjoying every second they had on stage.

Neon Trees played in San Francisco the night prior at a BottleRock hosted concert held at August Hall. An emotional Glenn gave his all in both performances and expressed his gratitude for the fans that stuck with the band for so long.

The four-piece band from Utah was a great addition to the festival and will definitely be welcomed back to the Bay Area in the future.

Ryan Tedder of OneRepublicLauren Hernandez

OneRepublic performed at the same stage later in the day to a completely full crowd. Some fans had been waiting in their spots all day and others had just found their spot on the completely full grass.

OneRepublic is known for their catchy hit singles such as "Apologize" and "Secrets" and their newer hits "Bones" and "Rescue Me." It was no secret that the audience was in for a treat and a trip down memory lane as some of the band's hit singles are from the early 2000s.

Ryan Tedder of OneRepublicLauren Hernandez

The crowd was not only into the older songs and new hits, but they were intrigued to learn about singer Ryan Tedder's journey as a songwriter.

Not only have Tedder and his band made a name for themselves internationally, but Tedder has also written and produced many hits for popular artists. His producing has led him to become a three-time Grammy Award-winning recipient.

Tedder frequently spoke to the audience and before each song he explained the process of how he and the artist created their song. Tedder revealed and performed a couple of those songs to an ecstatic crowd. Some of these songs included "Halo" by Beyoncé and "Rumor Has It" by Adele.

Tedder is also the creator of many other well-known songs for artists like the Jonas Brothers, B.o.B, Maroon 5, and many more. It was no secret by the end of the night that the Bay Area would gladly welcome OneRepublic back to BottleRock.

BottleRock 2020 will be on May 22nd – 24th. Fans are eager to learn about next years lineup, but until then they'll have to relive the festival through their pictures and videos!

Bob's Burgers
Adult Swim

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.
