I Got The Best Life Advice From 3 Gov Ball Artists

The best thing you can do is not give a f*ck

I Got The Best Life Advice From 3 Gov Ball Artists
Governors Ball Music Festival

I learned a lot about myself at Gov Ball. I learned I cannot go very long near a pizza station before I desperately need a slice. I learned I really cannot stand high school and college students, especially if they have been drinking vodka Gatorades in preparation for Chance the Rapper. I get it. I was in high school once, but it is 3:30 p.m. on a Friday and you are passed out in the middle of the field. I also learned a lot from Lo Moon, Saint Motel and Michael Blume.

After Friday's performances, I headed straight for amazon.com and checked out Denis Johnson. He is on my summer reading list and Lo Moon lead singer Matt Lowell agrees.

I highly recommend bringing "Jesus' Son," a collection of short stories, on your commute to your coveted internship in NYC.

When I am not reading, I am constantly thinking about my job, my love life (or lack thereof) and my friends and family. I am a perfectionist. What can I say? I am your classic Virgo. I need to chill.

Saint Motel does a little pre-show horseplay which I have added to my morning routine. No horse masks though, because then it would be weird. And for the record, Saint Motel is not weird.

After I do my morning horseplay I remind myself of why I am where I am and what I am doing every day to get to the next step. Michael Blume gave me some great advice and living each day for myself and no one else.

"Trust. Commit. Commit to doing and being what you want to do. And just give no fucks. There's just no time to give fucks. There's no fucking time."

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.
