Background info, I’m 17f, my friend is 18f, and we live in a different state. My mom is coming along solely to check us into the hotel and provide rides if necessary, so she doesn’t have a lolla ticket. I will likely be taking public transportation most days to and from Lolla because our hotel is a while away. Obviously my friend and I’s parents have safety concerns with teenagers attending a huge music festival, and their concerns are kinda getting to me. I already bought a small water backpack, over 10 people (including my mom) have my location at all times, I’ve taken public transportation alone before, I don’t intend to dress revealingly, drink, or do substances, and I’m an overall logical/spatially aware person. Should I still be worried?

Bit of other important info: I have terrible algebra skills and ended up going pass/fail for my second trimester of ap calc ab and ended with a fail. I was diagnosed w/ autism, adhd, and severe depression late into junior yr, now medicated with a month left of school and I definitely intend to speak about this on applications. For a long time I wanted to be a nuclear engineer bc nuclear power plants r a big interest of mine and I love nuclear energy, but when I failed a test for the first time ever in ap calc I kinda gave up on that (lmk if this is still feasible). Now looking at chem or psych to became a psychiatrist. I’m a great essay writer and I have good rec letters lined up.
