Warning: this article may cause you to go broke from buying tickets and dropping everything to go to these amazing festivals.

Everyone loves music and seeing your favorite artists live, but being able to see multiple of them at a festival is really something else. These 9 festivals are on my bucket list for sure, and after reading this article I'm sure they will be on yours too. No matter what kind of music you like, there's a festival out there for you!

1. Coachella

Of course, the music festival everyone has heard of -- the queen of all music festivals. Located in Indio, California, this festival is all things boho and celebs. So grab your flower crowns and head out to California, because their lineup is always killer.

2. Bonnaroo

Located in Manchester, Tennessee, you will find another super popular music festival. The best thing about this festival is the variety of music. There's Tove Lo to Mumford & Sons to Billy Joel to Kendrick Lamar, this festival covers all the grounds for an epic time.

3. Stagecoach

It's all things country in Indio, California, with this music festival. Get your boots out to jam out to Carrie Underwood, Luke Bryan, Eric Church and many more.

4. Firefly

This festival features diverse music form Mumford & Sons, A$AP Rocky, Major Lazer, The 1975 and everything in between. All this fun can be found in Dover, Delaware.

5. Austin City Limits (ACL)

Given the name, this festival is of course held in Austin, Texas. With an epic lineup including The Chainsmokers, Flume, Kendrick Lamar, Cage the Elephant and so much more. Fun times are sure to endure In Zilker Park.

6. Ultra

Located in the ultimate party destination, Miami, Florida, this festival has music that makes you want to dance. From Afrojack, Avicii, David Guetta and more, you will be on your feet all day for sure.

7. Lollapalooza

This popular festival has many major headliners that I can’t just list a few, so get ready: J. Cole, Lana Del Rey, G-Eazy, The 1975, Future, Major Lazer, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Disclosure, Mac Miller, Cherub, Ellie Goulding, Flume, Halsey, Bryson Tiller and SO MANY MORE. Tell me this doesn’t make you want to get in your car and go to Chicago right now for this festival.

8. The Governors Ball

New York City is already great, but it’s made better with this music festival being held on Randall’s Island Park. Music from Kanye West, Of Monsters and Men, Chet Faker, Mac Miller and more makes for an incredible experience in the city.

9. Burning Man

This unique festival is held in the Black Rock Desert in Nevada and is filled with DJ’s that rock the desert.

Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

It's easier than you think.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies.
