8 Music Festivals That Are Better Than Coachella

As a person who loves music, I can definitely say that concerts and live music is the best way to go when discovering a new artist. Those live shows can really give you a good outlook on an artist and their purpose for making music. In the past decade, I realized music is a major component of pop culture. Coachella is definitely a sub category of pop culture/music. You see all kinds of celebrities either performing or going as a guest. You see your favorite social media influencers posting non-stop about the music festival. You also see a ton of millennials either making fun of the event or complaining about how they couldn't afford to go and are super jealous of those who are there. The 2019 Coachella lineup does seem pretty solid but I know I won't be missing out on much, thanks to these awesome festivals that are just as good, if not better, than the 'Chella'.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
