Why You Should Go To Bonnaroo

Festival season is here. Lineups have been announced, tickets have begun to sell out, and the countdowns have started. And although all music festivals are a guaranteed good time, there's one that stands out from all the rest: Bonnaroo.

Bonnaroo is located in Manchester, TN, and is widely thought to be a place for dirty hippies to get high for four days straight. Which let's be real, it kind of is. But, it's so much more than that.

Everything at Bonnaroo has a sense of magic, from the music, the experience, the people, and the food. And yes, festival food can be magical. Ever eaten an Amish doughnut or a piece of Spicy Pie pizza? No? Get back to me once you do.

First and foremost, Bonnaroo is a music festival, and man, is the music great. 'Roo brings oldies, rappers, rock stars, and EDM artists together for an absolutely insane lineup every year. The effect? A group of people brought together, not by a love of one singular type of music, but an overall love.

'Roo is a great place for music, but like I said, it's so much more. It's got everything from waterslides to yoga classes, and even a 5k if you're crazy and want to run in the blazing Tennessee heat. Basically, Bonnaroo makes it to where there's always something to do. And yes, falling asleep under a tree counts as "something" too.

Once you go to Bonnaroo, you'll carry the ideas and mindset associated with the Farm with you wherever you may go. High-five Fridays are real, and good vibes really are found everywhere on the Farm. I still haven't figured out that if it's because of the place, or the people, that makes it such a great community. Honestly, I think it's both. You never meet a stranger at 'Roo, and everyone there is there for the same reason: they want to experience their brain on music. Trust me, it makes for an awesome time.

So, if you haven't been, go. If you have been, go back. I'm counting the days until I'm no longer a broke college student and can go back, because Bonnaroo really is the happiest place on Earth.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
