Epic is the only word that comes to mind when I think of this past summer. I won't lie, it did not exactly start of that way but it could be because of my Maymester class. However as soon as that ended everything began to fall into place.
June was consumed of deep sea fishing, serious beach time, road trips with my favorite people and Bonnaroo. Bonnaroo, if you've been living under a rock, is a three day music festival in Manchester, TN. Tickets are $280 but I was able to go for free because of my involvement with Clean Vibes. Myself and 175 other volunteers stayed for 3 days after the festival and were able to clean up 700 acres of farm land that Bonnaroo uses as campsites. Clean Vibes is a non-profit organization that organizes recycling, compost and landfill waste at many different music festivals around the country in order to help spread environmental awareness and "keep the scene clean." I learned a lot through this experience but even better I was able to see the Beastie Boys, Snoop Dogg, Moe, Erica Badu and many more amazing musicians for free.
July was consumed of pretty much the exact same things except instead of Bonnaroo I worked at a music festival in Masontown, WV called ALL GOOD. This festival was, in my opinion, much better than Bonnaroo. I was able to see Lotus, Keller Williams, Base Nector, Moe (who always plays till the sun comes up), the New Mastersounds, Galactic and so many more. All in all it was a great way to spend the last summer of my college career!
