Ten Best Totems At Electronic Music Festivals

Electric Forest Media

Admit it, we all love seeing the different totems at festivals. They have the limitless potential to be extremely big, funny, genius, and sometimes even a little inappropriate. People put endless hours of work into creating intricate totems that come in all shapes and sizes. Totems are an instrumental part of the EDM Culture we all know and love. Its sad to say that the summer is almost over which means festival season is swiftly coming to an end. In honor of another whirlwind festival season, we've assembled a list of the best totems this year, from Ultra, to EDC Vegas, right here in NYC at Electric Zoo. Here are the Top Ten Best Totems of Summer 2016.

10. We're Home at EDC Vegas

The new Star Wars movie had everyone running off the the cinema, so it only seems a matter of time before someone will make a totem out of it. Returning to a festival that you’ve already been too is a liberating feeling, this sign says it all.

9. The Steve at EDC Vegas

Your mind can play tricks on you, especially when you’re at a music festival. We are all a fan of Steve Buscemi, so seeing him peeking out above the crowd is a welcome site.

8. F*ck Trump at Ultra Music Festival Miami

May 4th is universally considered Star Wars day - “May the 4th be with you” - this raver used the force in a unique way.

6. Make America Rave Again at Electric Zoo Festival

Another sign that channels this insane election

5. Girlfriend Revenge at Tomorrowland

Couples break up over many different things, this is a new explanation on why this guy is single.

4. I Eat Ass at EZOO

This is sign is self explainable…

3. BRUCE at Electric Forest

We always try to relive our childhood because we just don’t want to adult. This totem will definitely make you smile.

2. Dick Butt at EZOO

This was the most popular dude this labor day weekend

1. That Face at EZOO

When Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps made this grimace that has now gone viral, this totem has been the crown winner of crowd totems.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

You can't just go to your room to take a nap in the middle of your classes.

Having to spend all your extra cash on gas for your car.

Speaking of money, you probably don't have a meal plan so you're forced to scrounge up some change or mooch off of your friends.

It can be harder to maintain the friendships you make with people from class.

Finding a parking spot.

It can be harder to be involved on campus because between your one, two, or three jobs and school you don't have much free time.

When you try to be super involved on campus, it can kill your sleep schedule.

It's impossible to do homework at home, but staying on campus isn't an option sometimes.

There are surveys and events that you can't participate in because you're a commuter.

Group projects are the bane of your existence.

Traffic.

Your backpack rivals that of a survivalist trekking in the woods.

Driving all the way to campus to find a note on the door of your classroom saying class was cancelled.

Because have you ever had to endure grilling your foot on a George Foreman?

1. When he just wanted bacon from his George Foreman grill

2. When he had money (and Jan) issues

3. When he got upstaged at Phyllis' wedding

4. When he unintentionally saved Meredith from rabies

5. When he wore a "bisexual" suit

6. When he had to apologize to Jesus

7. When his GPS drove him into a lake

8. When he had to deal with Ryan as his boss

9. When he couldn't fulfill his most generous empty promise

10. When this happened

11. When he struggled with a X-Mas break up

12. When he had to defend his generosity

13. When he threw a classy Christmas party for Holly but she had a boyfriend

14. When he had to stand up to peer pressure

15. When Toby was "Toby-ish"
