Why Everyone Should Go To A Music Festival At Least Once
Kat Adams

There are so many music festivals you could attend: Coachella, Firefly, Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo (of course) and so many more. Bonnaroo has been the first and only music festival I've been to, but after this amazing experience I want go to all the music festivals in the United States to mark off my bucket list. The music was killer, the food was amazing, and the positive vibes were off the chain. At Bonnaroo everyone is just happy and spreads the positive vibes by giving high fives to each other and you can constantly hear people breaking out in song. I highly recommend this festival because everyone is just free, it's a constant party, and you meet so many new people. Bonnaroo is magic, it's indescribable and it's something you have to experience yourself to get the full affect.

1. The Music

It is a music festival so all the artists that come are amazing. They have headliners which is the big named artists. but then they have some new comers to come and share their music too. Some of the headliners for 2016 were Pearl Jam, Ellie Goulding and Macklemore and Ryan Lewis. Some new artists I highly recommend are Borns, Lany and Oh Wonder. The great thing about Bonnaroo is they have so many stages/tents so there is constantly artists performing that you have a lot of options to choose from. One tent could have a country artist perform and then the next tent could be alternate or even rock so you have options.

2. The Food

Oh my god, I could just go on and on about the food. Delicious? Yes. Expensive? Yes. Worth it? Yes. They have such a variety of food to chose from. Bonnaroo has the best vendors come to serve their patrons. There are local breweries, food trucks galore, and the best Amish doughnuts you will ever eat. My personal favorite is the pizza and the burritos. Chilling in the TN heat you're going to need something cold. I recommend their pina coladas or frozen lemonade.

3. Fun Activities

Bonnaroo always has things for you to do in between music sets. When you're not chilling under a shady tree, they have shopping, yoga classes, ferris wheels, watersides, 5K runs, a comedy barn, a cinema, different clubs like silent disco, Kalliope and a Christmas themed club, and also the grove (a cool place to relax in a hammock). The possibilities are endless. There's also people who just play frisbee or hula hoop.

4. The Fashion

At music festivals you can wear whatever you want. I saw women completely topless #freethenipple and I saw a whole lot of ass and tie dye. I thoroughly enjoyed just watching people and seeing what they were wearing.

Don't let the preconceived idea that music festivals are just for young people stop you from going because that's not true, they are for all ages. I saw babies and old people (60 plus years). Music festivals are expensive but I highly recommend saving money to go to one because they are worth every penny.

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.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
