Driftwood Beach Festival Comes To Bimini
Driftwood Beach Festival

Amazing live music is never far away when you live in Miami. While this city certainly delivers when it comes to the live music scene, now you can take a short ferry ride to Bimini and find some there as well.

Last weekend, Bimini hosted The Driftwood Beach Festival, which featured a pro volleyball tournament as well as some amazing beach-side musical performances.

Beach volleyball was one of the main events and was attended by professional athletes from The National Volleyball League where they had exhibitions and clinics for anyone attending the festival.

The best part of the festival for me was the live music I got to enjoy right on the beach. With the ocean breeze in full effect, the night was made better with performances from Javier García and Clement Aubrey & the Reggae All-stars.

Javier García, latin singer of the popular songs, Tranquila and A Casa, kicked off the night with his beautiful voice and perfect beach side music.

Clement Aubrey & the Reggae All-stars closed the night with their amazing reggae/ lovers-rock style of music. Clement Aubrey, who has been sharing his music around the Caribbean since he was a young boy, was joined by Peter Williamson, Darrell “Chops” Randall (drummer from the Wailers), John Malack & John Reid (saxophonist and trumpeter from KC & the Sunshine Band), and “Two Locks” Peter Lewis (bassist from Bushman and Lady Saw).

Not only did the Driftwood Beach Festival give back with its amazing music and fun events, but a portion of the event’s profits will be donated to Global Empowerment Mission to bring aid to those affected by Hurricanes Irma and Maria.

Resorts World Bimini is having musical performances and events all the time so if you live in Miami, or really anywhere, check out the events page of their website: https://www.rwbimini.com/things-to-do/events

Why I Love Being Single (And You Should, Too)

Dedicated to February 14

1. You don't have to feel guilty about flirting with customers for tips (or just for shits and giggles).

2. You can be obnoxiously flirtatious with anyone you want. You are free to be that girl that flirts with everybody and makes 'em all smile (it's especially fun when the guy is as cute as Collin Jost). No shame.

3. Making random men nervous with your superior beauty and intense eye contact just for the hell of it is really amusing and empowering.

4. No one gives two poops if ya legs are hairy (your man shouldn't either but *Kermit the Frog meme* That's none of my business)

5. The toilet seat will remain down.

6. There's more money to spend on yourself.

7. There's always this secret butterfly in your tummy that marvels at the possibility that when you go out this weekend you're gonna meet someone super handsome/wonderful/prince-like and have this moment of dazzling dalliance.

8. Nothing is that serious...you can take it all with a grain of salt...you don't owe anybody anything.

9. You can dance with anyone and everyone...or no one (Hello frat boi w/ glasses, I see you).

10. You don't have to fluff anyone's ego but your own.

11. Free drinks and dinners from single guys (It's not taking advantage if they're offering; a girl's gotta eat).

12. You have more time to learn how to love and improve yourself rather than constantly pouring your energy into another person.

13. You don't have to sacrifice your cheesy Jen Aniston rom-coms and Gilmore Girls for his Fast and Furious/other dumb action movie featuring blonde that is only in the movie to supply a relationship to the male lead and to make him look more masculine/empowered in juxtaposition (In other words, you don't have to deal with a guy being a crabby Patty while you watch your cute movies).

14. You can daydream about what your future husband may be doing right now (and not get stressed/guilty out because you're not picturing your current boyfriend that's crazy about you as your future husband).

15. There is more time to be spent with your girlfriends.

The 12 astrological signs all fall under one of four elements: air, water, earth, or fire. Air signs are rational, social, and love to communicate with others. Water signs are are emotional, intuitive, and mysterious. Fire signs tend to be passionate, creative, and adventurous. Earth signs are conservative, realistic, and loyal.

Each sign is determined by the relative positions of celestial bodies to ourselves at our moment of birth, which is said to influence our personalities. Find your zodiac GIF below, based on the traits and characteristics provided by each sign.

If you haven't read the first part of this, I would highly suggest to, specifically because the Public Service Announcement placed in the beginning of that article still applies. If you don't feel like reading part one, I will try to cover it quickly. Basically, long story short, I am a pretty boring person and lead a pretty ordinary life. Due to this, please do not expect for the things I consider ridiculous to be what others may deem it. I promise that each of these I have done with a complete sane, mildly bored, brain. With all of this being said, please enjoy the semi-absurd things I have been lead to do in the second semester of my freshman year at college.

College is supposed to be one of the best times of your life. However, it is also one of the toughest transitions to make. There is so much anticipation and excitement leading up to moving into college. It doesn’t truly hit you until move in day when your parents say their final goodbyes and you see their car drive away. You truly are on your own. I was blessed to meet my best friends within the first week of school. Your college friends are so important and here’s why:
