6 Reasons You Should Go To A Music Festival

In This Article:

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

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

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.

1. When course schedules are released and you have a conflict between two required classes.

Bonus points if it is more than two.

Whether you're commuting or dorming, your first year of college is a huge adjustment. The transition from living with parents to being on my own was an experience I couldn't have even imagined- both a good and a bad thing. Here's a personal archive of a few of the things I learned after going away for the first time.

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

As an English Major in college, I have a lot of writing and especially creative writing pieces that I work on throughout the semester and sometimes, I'll find it hard to get the motivation to type a few pages and the thought process that goes behind it.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
