First Ever GroundUp Music Festival

Tired of saying "I don't support live music enough"? Looking to escape the winter tundra and see some of your favorite artists perform in one place? (and all at an affordable cost) Well then, the first ever GroundUp Music Festivalis perfect for you!

The festival takes place in Miami Beach, Florida on Friday, February 10th and lasts the whole weekend. The festival takes up a few different areas including a beautiful beachfront, the Palm Grove Park and the Concert Bandshell will act as an amphitheater for the musicians. All the makings for a great relaxing weekend! Their website has some general help with lodging and travel, including a discount at a local hotel. Here's the link: http://festival.groundupmusic.net

So for those of you that don't know, GroundUp is a music label founded in 2007 by Michael League, bandleader of the group Snarky Puppy, Since then, the label has been working with some of the best artists of our times. Including Snarky Puppy, their roster containsDavid Crosby, Funky Knuckles, Charlie Hunter, Banda Magda and many more. Check out their main website.

Now stacked with all this talent, GroundUp is providing a way that you can see all the GroundUp artists and more all in one weekend. On top of their artists, Jacob Collier, John Tedeski, Chris Thile Terrance Blanchard, and Esperanza Spalding round out this crazy GroundUp music explosion! The best part, only one performance at a time, which means you don't have to miss anything. You do have the option to re-enter so don't worry, you can visit the beach for a long as you want! Here is a short video about the festival made by GroundUp Music!

Tickets are starting at just $85 a day and $225 for all three days. They have also just announced that their will be an after party show from 11pm until 4am each night at the Deauville Hotel. Those are $10 per night with tickets and $30 general admission.

GroundUp has put together a phenomenal opportunity for everyone involved! Lots of our favorite festivals have become overpriced and appeal to more billboard 100 music, and lost their true essence and GroundUp is helping us get back to our roots. With selling less than 1500 tickets a day, GroundUp Music Festival is a more intimate environment. Come enjoy a relaxing getaway and the performance of the year, both at the same time.

For more info, check out the links to their websites (designed by a good friend of mine, Austin Billings! :)

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: Your Spirit Animal

Who wouldn't wanna be Queen B?

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
