What Really Happened At Fyre Festival

When it all went up in flames.

What Really Happened At Fyre Festival

If you google search "Fyre Festival", you'll see "Fyre Festival Disaster" pop up. Fyre Festival was supposed to be a luxury music festival with the top bloggers and social media socialites invited. It was set up on a private island in the Bahamas. What resulted, however, was anything less than a luxury. Now, the company faces at least five lawsuits.

The price point for tickets ranged from a few thousand dollars up to $250,000.00 Each price point obviously contained a different package. There were supposed to be villas, jet skis, beach yoga, and more. Gourmet meals were also promised.

When the socialites stepped foot onto the island, it was a complete disaster.

I think it may be easier to list what, in fact, Fyre Festival did not have:

- Toilets or showers.

- Air conditioning.

- Clean beds to sleep on (bed bugs and blood-stained air mattresses).

- "Inhabitable" medical conditions, which the medical staff hired had left so there ended up being no medical staff.

- Disaster tents.

- Basic human necessities.

To seal the deal, these socialites took their anger to their social media outlets where they reported the entire thing. Check out a few of their Twitter profiles to see some photos.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.

Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
