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

Amanda Kessler

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.

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!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
