The 5 Types Of People You're Going To Meet At Every Music Festival

Which one are you?

Ah, Coachella. The time of the year thousands of young adults all collectively travel to the desert to watch an overpriced line-up and camp out of their cars. While I've spent my fair share of time at music festivals in my short life, I've never made the homage trip to Coachella in Southern California. With the festival season rapidly approaching, it's fun to admire the very specific groups of people who pay for these events year by year.

1. The 'Instagram' Girls

I honestly am always jealous of girls like these when I see these pictures. How do they come up with these totally hip, but original outfits? Let me know if you do!

2. The Random High Schoolers

As a young adult, I can guarantee you that there's nothing more terrifying than running into your best friend's high school age sister in the middle of a festival. Mom and dad, as a college student who has been to these events, hold off on these until your child is in college. I couldn't imagine attending before I was an adult.

3. The Frat Boys

If you love sweaty, shirtless meathead guys accidentally bumping into you during every set, find your local circle of fraternity brothers. Keep an eye out for guys in basketball jerseys, frat bro-tanks, and even no shirt at all and you've found the right place.

4. The Random Parents

One of my personal favorites are the adults who randomly seem to love enjoying these festivals as well. Some 50-something parents rocking out to Dillon Francis was the best thing I've seen all year.

5. Rave Culture Squads

Possibly the most frightening are the people who dress up in these ridiculous outfits, dance better than everyone and terrify me with their face masks. Most likely they will be holding up a totem that reads, "If you're lost, come dance with us!"

Whether you feel you belong to any of these groups, are between, or none, music festivals are a great deal of fun for anyone. With that in mind, remember to always be safe, always be with someone, and to not over-do it. All in all, if you're traveling to Coachella, Outside Lands, Lollapalooza, or anything else, have fun and enjoy the music.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

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.
