5 Music Festival Essentials

The weather is heating up, the days are getting longer, and sunburns are getting more inevitable. Of course this all means that festival season is upon us. Hangout happened just this past weekend, and Firefly is just a few weeks away. So if you happen to be going to one of these, let me offer some suggestions on what to bring.

1. Camelbak

Festivals start kicking off around midday for the most part. This means that its going to be hot as hell. When you throw alcohol and probably drugs (you vagrants) into the mix, you're going to be sweating a lot. When you get that headache, the water kiosk is going to be miles away. You know what the easy fix is? A water bottle on your back. A Camelbak. Its also a backpack so you can put your stuff in there, which is also very important. Keep your stuff safe.


2.Sunglasses

See how there isn't a photo? Thats because everyone knows what sunglasses are. Anyway, its going to be sunny out, sometimes the sun might be right above the band you're watching and you'll be blinded. Solution? Sunglasses. Snag a quality pair for cheap on Etsy.

Here's a gif of them anyways you animals:


3. Walkie Talkies

In case you weren't aware, cellphone coverage at festivals is terrible. If you can send an iMessage then you have witnessed an act of God. Anyway, in order to keep in touch with your buddies, get yourself some walkie talkies and enough batteries!


4. A Totem Pole

Another great way to let the group know where you are. Also you can have a ton of fun with it.

5. Sunscreen

Were you raised by wolves? No. So bring some sunscreen to the festival! The sport spray bottles are quick and easy. If you don't, this will be you:


For The Campers: Ok if you are camping at the festival, you will need many things, including: a tent, a lantern, plenty of water, a sleeping bag, pillows, camping chairs, and you know what? This stuff seems pretty logical after that, just remember toiletries.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

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

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

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
