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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
