To My Faster Horses Family

Is it July yet!?

76
To My Faster Horses Family
Courtney Banks

Faster Horses, one the best music festivals in the nation takes place in Brooklyn, MI. For one weekend Michigan International Speedway is turned into every country music lover's dream. A weekend full of country music, friends, and fun is exactly what you will find during the Faster Horses festival.

Winter is upon us and if you're like me the Faster Horses withdrawal is hitting hard. Every day I catch myself talking about the weekend of my life, the Party of the Summer. I'm constantly showing my friends pictures convincing them to come with me next year. Nothing beats soaking up the hot July sun with your best drinking buddies right by your side.

The friends you meet at Faster Horses will stay in your heart and hopefully camera roll forever. Who would have thought that a five-minute bus ride could lead to a fresh beer and blurry selfie with a complete stranger? Faster Horses is the best place to meet new drunk happy friends, I have even met a few of my own.


The party is always going at FH. From redneck slip and slides, to Faster Humans, and endless games of beer pong, there is always something to do. I can't say that before Faster Horses I played a game of rage cage at 10 a.m., but I'll tell you I don't regret it a bit. The nightlife is even better. No one is ready for the party to stop after the concerts, so you stumble back to your campsite just looking for more. A bon fire with your friends or a flashlight lit game of flip cup, the party never stops.

The music at Faster Horses is obviously a highlight too. Hearing your idols belt out the words of your favorite songs as you slur the words along with them is quite the experience. Swaying to the music with your drink in the air makes every worry go away in a flash. The headliners are always my favorite but don't forget to hit up the Next From Nashville tent, there's some gems in there too.


In the end Faster Horses can only be understood if you've spent your weekend at MIS with thousands of strangers at the Party of the Summer. The insane amounts of money spent on alcohol and the three day hangover are worth every second of your time there. The memories made in one weekend will last a lifetime. July can't come quick enough.

I can't wait to see you all boozed up in Brooklyn.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Syllabus Week As Told By Kourtney Kardashian

Feeling Lost During Syllabus Week? You're Not Alone!

Kourtney Kardashian

Winter break is over, we're all back at our respective colleges, and the first week of classes is underway. This is a little bit how that week tends to go.

The professor starts to go over something more than the syllabus

You get homework assigned on the first day of class

There are multiple group projects on the syllabus

You learn attendance is mandatory and will be taken every class

Professor starts chatting about their personal life and what inspired them to teach this class

Participation is mandatory and you have to play "icebreaker games"

Everybody is going out because its 'syllabus week' but you're laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Now it's time to get back into the REAL swing of things. Second semester is really here and we all have to deal with it.
