How To: Make Your Own Rave Palace
Forrest Wilms

You live for the rave lifestyle and the atmosphere that comes along with festivals. The only thing that is missing is closest to you, your room. Creating a wonderful bedroom is not only very fun, but can be the life of the house party when having friends over to kick back.

Painting your room is one of the most important parts. This is where your creativity comes in to play as your decisions here set the atmosphere and mood. You can choose your favorite colors, but make sure they are bright and vivid for extra appeal! When I was younger I splatter painted one wall of my room and it was entertaining making it as well as made it my own creation. Have fun with this!

The next step is decorating. Posters of your favorite artists, activities, quotes, or just interesting stuff in general add a very personalized look. A few smaller items include lava lamps, chargeable glow sticks, and dancing lazer lights (which are my favorite). These can be found at Spencer’s and even your local Goodwill is going to have some hidden gems.

Personally, my rave room was in my P.O.S dorm sophomore year. I made the best of it (picture above) with blacklight posters, regular posters covering every inch of wall space, and flags from my favorite states and countries. The best part about creating a rave room is that it is your room and showing it off to people fulfilling when they say, “this is so bad ass”.

For additional fun I created a custom beer pong table that had led lights fastened around the side so it provided an awesome effect to the whole room. One of the most important parts is a stereo system. Lower priced stereo systems are going to be speakers that bottom line will provide an audio or blue tooth plug in so you can hear the music. Each level above will be louder, heavier, and bassier for bassheads that love the mind melting drops. I got my hands on a sony speaker with two subs, two kickers, and a mixing deck so I was DJ ready to go.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

Another day, another Elle Woods comment. Can’t us blondes get through the day without someone harping at us over the typical stereotypes about who we are? I never understood why a person was judged based upon the hair color they were born with, or the hair color they choose to have (unless you dye your hair blue like Kylie Jenner, I’m still trying to understand why that’s a trend). Nevertheless, as it should be assumed, not everyone is the same. Not all blondes like bright colors and Lilly Pulitzer, and not all blondes claim to identify with Marilyn Monroe. I think the best suggestion to give to people before they make such radical claims is to stop judging a book by its cover. Or in this case, stop judging a blonde by her hair color.
