6 Reasons You Should Go To A Music Festival
Hanny Naibaho 

If it weren't for our old friend Corona, we would be in the midst of festival season right about now. These past few months of social distancing have me reminiscing on my times at music festivals: seeing my favorite artists, making memories with friends and living my best life. Although festival season has been canceled this summer, that's no reason not to plan for next year.

There's something for everyone

Rolling Loud Miami 2019

Amanda Kessler

There are music festivals for practically every genre you can think of! Festivals like Coachella focus on a variety of genres (rock, pop, hip hop, EDM, etc.), while festivals like Rolling Loud focus on one genre (hip hop).

Make new friends

Music festivals are full of people who enjoy the same music as you; Why not get to know them? You can especially do this at festivals that offer camping, such as Firefly.

Instagram worthy photos

If you're all about having that perfect Instagram feed, a festival is definitely for you. There is often art and props to get your selfie on.

The food

If you're a foodie like me, you'll love the opportunity to check out the wide variety of food from dumplings and tacos to ice cream in a waffle... yum!

Dance your heart out

You get to leave all your worries behind for the weekend as you hear music from your favorite artists, while creating memories with your best friends.

More bang for your buck

Governors Ball NYC 2018

Rather than paying hundreds of dollars to see one artist in concert, festivals give you the opportunity to see multiple acts for possibly the same price. There's nothing like the rush of running from one stage to the next to catch each artist's set.

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.

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.
