My Warped Tour List

I'm always up for a new experience.

I’m headed to the Vans Warped Tour in Shakopee, Minnesota on July 24. A friend of mine had an extra ticket, and who am I to pass up a new life experience? To tell you the truth, though, I only know a couple of the many bands that will be at Warped Tour.

Being a “Warped Newbie,” I had to research what this event even is. Then, I had to figure out what I was supposed to bring and wear the day of. I watched many YouTube videos and read quite a few articles. After my extensive research, this is the final list of things I will be bringing to Warped Tour.

Cash- Mostly for food and drinks, as I’m not really one to load up on the band merch.

Sunscreen- It is supposed to be in the high 80s and sunny the day I’ll be at Warped. I’m pale. Very pale. Enough said.

A Peanut Butter Sandwich- Snacks! I’m going to be very sweaty and hot and I’m sure we’ll be running all over the place the entire day.

Small Drawstring Backpack- For free things and anything I don’t want to hold, a drawstring backpack will be necessary.

Ziploc Bags- If I don’t bring these, I just know my phone and other miscellaneous items will get soaked.

Large Water Bottle- A sealed, large bottle of water will be the only thing that keeps me alive. I just know it.

Chapstick- What if my lips get sunburnt?

Phone/Charger/Power Pack- I’m not bringing a camera, so I need to stay charged.

Ibuprofen- I’m going to get a headache. Or a few.

One Sharpie Marker- You never know when you will need to write stuff on your arms.

Sunglasses- The sun is bright. This is pretty self-explanatory.

While attempting not to overpack, I feel I have everything I need to survive the day. I will also be throwing an extra pair of clothes and shoes in my car so I don’t have to drive the hour home drenched in sweat and who knows what else. If Warped Tour is coming to a location near you in the few weeks remaining in the summer, I suggest looking into going even if you aren’t extremely into the bands. I’m sure it will be fun and I can’t wait to share my experience with you. Stay tuned!

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

St. Thomas Aquinas College

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:

For some of us, coming to college was the first time we ever had to share a room. It was a big change, but a fun one. As you meet more and more people over the course of your college career, it seems to be a pattern that you will at some point have that one friend that doesn't live with you, but acts like they do. We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.
