You Can't Say 'No' to A Music Festival: Austin City Limits

Austin City Limits has posted their 2015 lineup and let me tell you: you don't want to miss out on this! The festival takes place in the wonderful Austin, Texas at Zilker Park. It takes place over two weekends. October 2nd-4th, and October 9th-11th. Headliners include Foo Fighters, Drake, The Strokes, Florence and The Machine, Hozier and many other amazing artists. Music festivals are a mild obsession of mine, so I already know where I'll be for those two weekends in October. But for those of you who are doubting ACL's greatness, or debating whether it's worth forking over the 250 dollars for your three day pass, here are some thing to consider.

  • 1) It's in Austin-This alone should be enough, considering that there is a ton more to do in Austin then what is available to you here in Fort Worth. Even if you aren't big into music, the after hours on the dirty six will be an experience of its own.
  • 2) It's educational- There is no better place to learn about music and discover new artist than firsthand at a music festival. Even if you think you don't like a band or certain type of music, from what you've previously heard on the radio or online, hearing a live show is unlike anything else and the experience could quite possibly change your mind on a few things.
  • 3) It's an excuse- We all know what festival clothes look like, and we wish that it were acceptable to wear them on a daily basis. But since it would be frowned upon to show up to work with ten flash tattoos in a crop top, with high waisted shorts and a flower headband, we need an excuse and a place to fulfill our dream of being a boho hippie princess. Not only is ACL the perfect place to express your style, but attending such a huge event is also an excuse to post multiple instagrams too close together. DO IT FOR THE GRAM!
  • 4) It's fun- In my opinion, there's nothing or no one who can deny that you'll have fun at ACL. What's not to love? You have great live music, with great food and drinks, in a great city, surrounded by great people!

All I'm saying is, from one broke college student to another, Austin City Limits is worth the money. If you weren't considering going, I hope that now you are! If you want to go, I hope you take this as a reminder to start planning, ordering, organizing, and booking hotels to ensure that you have the best possible trip. Get a group together and go check it out, after all, would you rather go and have the experience, or not go and still be wondering "what if"?

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!
