I Went To My First Music Festival And It Was The Best Weekend of My Life

Thank you, Gov Ball.

I Went To My First Music Festival And It Was The Best Weekend of My Life
Rachel Neal

If you know me, you know how much I love music and going to concerts.

It's all I ever really spend my money on because I think it creates the best memories possible with the people you go with, gives you an excuse to dress up a bit, and lets you hear your favorite songs and see your favorite artists live.

Surprisingly, I haven't attended my first 3-day music festival until this past weekend.

It was the Governor's Ball music festival located in NYC, an absolute dream, right?

The lineup was too.

I got to see some of my all-time favorite artists for the first time, including: Tyler, the Creator, Brockhampton, The 1975, Hippo Campus... the list goes on. I even got to see Florence + the Machine for the 3rd time, which is always SUCH a good show.

I always wished of going to a music festival, but I never thought it would happen since it's expensive from the tickets to transportation and everything else.

But my best friend Anna suggested that we go since she went before and was interested in going again, and that was an opportunity I just couldn't pass up.

So I bought the 3 day passes a month before, and counted down the days until I'd step foot on that island in upper Manhattan.

I planned all my outfits and couldn't wait to take pictures.

I made an entire playlist and shuffled it nonstop.

I was completely ready for one of the best weekends of my life to happen.

When the weekend finally came around, I couldn't believe it.

I got to reunite with Anna who I haven't seen since school ended, we got to catch up and get ready together and then had the best weekend of long days and nights, way too much glitter, expensive food, amazing music, and unforgettable memories.

Thank you Gov Ball, I'll be back soon.

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.
