Sometimes something will happen in your life that you won’t be able to put into words. Like for example when you witness or experience something incredible that gives you chills and goose bumps; or, when you feel the urge to smile for no particular reason.

That is how I felt about the Electric Forest Festival. It is simply indescribable. Sure, I can link videos and pictures but not even a video in 1080p will do the Forest the justice it deserves. Nothing on a Forester’s Snapchat story will truly be able to capture the moment that’s been experienced— but you see, that’s the beauty of it.

There are countless festivals with their numbers increasing every year. But what makes Elec-tric Forest Festival substantially different is the Forest itself. The Forest is a lounge, it’s a light

show, it’s a haven for ninjas and fairies alike. It thrives on good karma, positive energy and embraces all Foresters in a remarkable way... In whatever mindset I entered the Forest having (from being nervous about attending my first festival to carrying some negativity with me from the 2013-2014 school year), I was com-pletely altered. The world, although confusing, cruel and misleading at times, holds an inex-pressible allure to it and Electric Forest Festival helped remind me of that.

So as I sit back writing this review of the fes-tival, suffering from post-EF depression and sore feet from dancing, a smile will always inch across my face reminding me of the indescrib-able beauty of this past weekend.

Wow, how incredibly lucky I am to be able to call myself a Forester.
