All You Need to Know About the 25th Anniversary Vans Warped Tour Shows
https://vanswarpedtour.com/

Vans Warped Tour, the infamous cross-country punk music festival came to an end last year. Creator Kevin Lyman decided it was time to spend his summers doing something other than visit 50+ cities with over 80 different bands. As disappointing as this was, Lyman made promises for a special edition, 25th anniversary Warped Tour in the summer of 2019. Here is your guide for all things Warped Tour this summer.

There are three locations: Cleveland, Ohio (6/8) | Atlantic City, NJ (6/29-6/30) | Mountain View, California (7/20-21)

Sorry, Ohio. Your line-up only has five bands—Kevin Lyman already told you that it would not look like a regular warped tour show, though. On the other hand, Atlantic City and Mountain View have some of the most iconic bands, many of whom got their start on Warped Tour over a decade ago. Both of these shows will be two-day festivals, with approximately five stages each day. Line-ups were released on March 1st, with hopes to add even more bands in the coming weeks. Atlantic City will see headliners like A Day to Remember, Blink-182, Bowling for Soup, Sleeping with Sirens, and We the Kings. Mountain View will see headliners like All-American Rejects, August Burns Red, Silverstein, and Sum 41. You can see the full line-up at Warped Tour's Website.

Surviving the Atlantic City Show

This show is on the beach in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Yes, I said on the beach. As someone who has previously enjoyed their Vans Warped Tour at the South Florida Fairgrounds, this will be an entirely new experience to me. Dancing in the sand with the water and sun right there with you – it surely is a unique concert venue! This experience could be a recipe for disaster if you are ill-prepared. Take a look at the checklist below to guide your preparation!

1. BRING SUNSCREEN

The last thing you want is to return to your hotel room after the first day as a fried lobster. For those of you flying, sunscreen may not be allowed on the plane, so plan to purchase some near the venue.

2. DRINK WATER

Vans Warped Tour is known for their hydration-stations. Simply bring in either A) an unopened, sealed plastic water bottle or B) an empty, refillable water bottle. It is always important to stay hydrated at the beach, especially when you are jumping around and singing along to your favorite songs.

3. WEAR HATS, SUNGLASSES, SLEEVES, BATHING SUITS

Yes, it will probably be hot. Make sure to wear a hat and sunglasses to keep your head cool. If you can tolerate the heat, try to wear something with a little bit of a sleeve to protect you better from the sun.

Depending on the type of person you are, you may even want to wear your bathing suit underneath your outfit. A quick dip in the ocean could be super refreshing in between bands.

4. BRING YOUR TICKET

Well, duh.

5. BRING A CHANGE OF CLOTHES

Always be prepared!http://www.lannis.ca/2014/05/the-emergency-clothes...

After a long day of sweating, moshing, screaming, and dancing, you'll want to wear something comfortable. Leave a change of clothes in the car so that car ride back to wherever you came from is more tolerable.

6. HAVE FUN

It may be the absolute last Vans Warped Tour festival the East Coast will ever see. Get that plane ticket, take that train, rent a car—do whatever it takes to get there and have fun!

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

University of Dayton

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.

There are a lot of foods in this world, but there is only one dish that stands above the rest: Pizza. If you're close to me or at least know who I am, then you know that I'm totally obsessed with pizza. It's one of my favorite things to eat and I will NEVER turn down a slice, even if it doesn't have my favorite toppings. There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not thinking about pizza. I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.

Why I Love Being Single (And You Should, Too)

Dedicated to February 14

1. You don't have to feel guilty about flirting with customers for tips (or just for shits and giggles).

2. You can be obnoxiously flirtatious with anyone you want. You are free to be that girl that flirts with everybody and makes 'em all smile (it's especially fun when the guy is as cute as Collin Jost). No shame.

3. Making random men nervous with your superior beauty and intense eye contact just for the hell of it is really amusing and empowering.

4. No one gives two poops if ya legs are hairy (your man shouldn't either but *Kermit the Frog meme* That's none of my business)

5. The toilet seat will remain down.

6. There's more money to spend on yourself.

7. There's always this secret butterfly in your tummy that marvels at the possibility that when you go out this weekend you're gonna meet someone super handsome/wonderful/prince-like and have this moment of dazzling dalliance.

8. Nothing is that serious...you can take it all with a grain of salt...you don't owe anybody anything.

9. You can dance with anyone and everyone...or no one (Hello frat boi w/ glasses, I see you).

10. You don't have to fluff anyone's ego but your own.

11. Free drinks and dinners from single guys (It's not taking advantage if they're offering; a girl's gotta eat).

12. You have more time to learn how to love and improve yourself rather than constantly pouring your energy into another person.

13. You don't have to sacrifice your cheesy Jen Aniston rom-coms and Gilmore Girls for his Fast and Furious/other dumb action movie featuring blonde that is only in the movie to supply a relationship to the male lead and to make him look more masculine/empowered in juxtaposition (In other words, you don't have to deal with a guy being a crabby Patty while you watch your cute movies).

14. You can daydream about what your future husband may be doing right now (and not get stressed/guilty out because you're not picturing your current boyfriend that's crazy about you as your future husband).

15. There is more time to be spent with your girlfriends.

Whether you believe astrology is a legitimate "science" or not, we have all found ourselves looking at our horoscopes from time to time. The 12 astrological signs all fall under one of four elements: air, water, earth, or fire. Air signs are rational, social, and love to communicate with others. Water signs are are emotional, intuitive, and mysterious. Fire signs tend to be passionate, creative, and adventurous. Earth signs are conservative, realistic, and loyal.

Each sign is determined by the relative positions of celestial bodies to ourselves at our moment of birth, which is said to influence our personalities. Find your zodiac GIF below, based on the traits and characteristics provided by each sign.
