The Hidden Must-Do's To Add To Your Coachella Bucket List

It's that time to pack our bags, decorate our cars, and head down to Indio, California for an unforgettable weekend of music, art and festivities in the Coachella Valley. Coachella-goers from all over the world are eagerly preparing for the event that we have been highly anticipating since the moment it ended one year ago. While we are all well-aware of the lineup and will be spending most of our time running from set to set, there are many activities that could easily be over-looked but definitely worth your time. The Coachella experience is full of hidden opportunities to add to the adventure. Here are some things to add to your Coachella bucket list that you probably didn't know about.

Activity Field of Dreams


Location: Camp

This field will hold many activities such as 4 Corners, Spring Olympics hosted by the World Dodgeball Society, Dodgeball Tournaments, Hula Hoop contests, Balloon Toss, Giant Foosball, Bad-Dancing contest and much much more. If you get the win in any of these events, Coachella guarantees you prizes, bragging rights, and bad tans. Who would want to miss this?

Activities Tent

There are also various contests such as ping pong, twister, giant jingo, and cornhole. If you're trying to unwind, you can take advantage of the power stations, lounge, and wellness area. The wellness center (open 8am-3pm) has a team to pamper your needs. Enjoy the spa, essential oil blends, foot soaks, iridology readings, and massages for 1$ a minute. Cash and Credit Cards are accepted.

Get your creative juices flowing at the improved art studios located in the campgrounds. According to Coachella, you can "chop and screw new fashion accessories, press your own pin, upcycle bike inner tubes and/or make an Instaprint to take back home."

H&M Loves Coachella

Heineken House


The Heineken House is "bringing the Old School into the New School" with surprise performers and a stacked lineup. But get this, your dance moves will light up the party. What does that mean?

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

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

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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!
