Hopping from one fest to another over the weekends filled with cool February nights and beautiful March mornings, you enjoy the perks of being a college student sans the looming exams’ tension. Standing in queues to get in, asking your acquaintances for free passes to their college fests, smuggling a 100 to the guard to let you in, getting home late ready to face your mom’s wrath, laughing your asses off with friends, doing the Mexican wave at a DJ night, dressing up only to sweat it away, clicking countless pictures, trying new delicacies, and much more is part and parcel of the fest season.
Nothing can beat that concert you attended of your favorite band at a fest for free and dancing to those enigmatic tunes with your buddies. Especially, when you’re a fuccha and friendships are still forming, these days often lay the foundation of friendships that shall last long.
