coacHELLA

okay so for those who have never been; it is honestly (yes I am saying this sorry to any die hard fans) is overrated.

yes, Coachella is all fun and games and is supposed to be an amazing experience but in all reality, most people who attend just care about how they look and what they post. no offense, but if I attend a music festival, the reason I'm there is idk for uhhh maybe the music. like yes guuuurl look bomb as fuck but don't come up to me and ask to take a full on photoshoot of you. and yes, this actually happening multiple times. I am all for supporting confidence, but like you're at a music festival for M U S I C, not to look like America's Next Top Model. have your fun, take your pics, and move on p l e a s e.

didn't. the fashion at Coachella all somewhat looked the same; cute, boho, and fashionable taste but some outfits really stood out and I would've taken pics of these random, famous-looking people but again, I was the weirdo in just socks so I don't think that would have gone over very well with them. another thing about Coachella, the crowd is kind of rude. the vibes are kind of whack. everything kind of seems superficial. like everyone around me just wanted to be someone or something. I looked like a hobo compared to 90% of the people there, probably because I walked around 70% of the time in just socks because my feet hurt and I'm just a weirdo, but idk if your makeup still looks perfect when it's 100 degrees out and you were just in a crowd full of thousands, did you even really go hard enough??? (not judging, I just wanna know how the hell you still look so damn good bc I looked like shit) within one hour (probably less) I was sweating and disgusting and dehydrated and lw miserable so kudos to those who still looked like a snack, because I sure as hell didn't.

lastly, if you camp, it is how you get the full experience, but the dust is insane or at least was this year. I came home over a week ago and am still coughing; yikes! also, not enough opportunities for water and I came home super dehydrated to the point where I had to be put on an IV for two hours because I had thrown up all morning and had no idea why because it had been two days since I had gotten back. I love camping but for some reason not this year or at least not at Coachella. funny story actually, one night I walked back to our site and the car I was sleeping in was locked and everyone I called was asleep, so I had the "brilliant" idea to just cry myself to sleep (jk I didn't cry but I really wanted to) and camp out by the CHARGING STATION... at least on a positive note I had a charged phone, but let me tell you, I was FREEZING and exhausted from not getting any sleep. but it's okay because I got to watch the sunrise and it finally heated up around 7 so I was only cold for like 6 hours lol.

another thing is the food. not sure if I got food poisoning or it was just because I was super dehydrated, but I got really sick. also was too broke to afford to eat a normal amount of food, so I kind of didn't really eat much. what I did consume though, despite its prices, tasted pretty yummy. I got a 'Coachella festival burrito' or called something similar, idk but it cost $16... yikes. I devoured the basic watermelon and it exceeded my expectations... maybe just because Coachella makes normal watermelon taste somewhat "magical". the watermelon and the Minute Maid strawberry lemonade cups were for sure some of everyone's favorites.

all in all, I love music festivals and although Coachella isn't my favorite, I still just love the atmosphere and being around so many talented people. there is just something about music that brings people together and creates such a happy environment. some of the crowds were a little aggressive and I had to sit down (lw got trampled on and have a black toe because of it but it's okay because I couldn't feel my feet anyways). Coachella is a little overrated and expensive compared to others buuuuut I got to spend it with some of my favorite people and that is something I'll cherish forever. I recommend going at least once & sometimes once is enough, but for some, they go every single year. you never know until you try it.
