10 Music Videos To Watch When You Need To Get Away From Everything

Have you ever had a day where everything is going wrong? That assignment you thought was due next week is due in class today, you're working a double shift later that night, and you have about negative 2% energy to do anything -- this may be the playlist you need to unwind.


This song came out in 2010 and is part of the album On Melancholy Hill by the Gorilllaz. It reminds me of a lullaby a little bit in a weird dystopian universe. It's reflective of the signature style that the Gorillaz infuse into their image, album cover, and content.


An oldie but a goody from Daft Punk. This song was released in 2009 and has over 24 million views. Personally, I love a music video with a plot line and this music video provides it. The style of this music video is almost like a comic book -- it reminds me of AHa's Take on Me music video from back in the 80's.


This song is written by the Studio Killers in 2011. It's pretty provocative but I love the beat and the animation of the animals. This video is definitely different than the other videos that have been listed so far; the psychedelic music, the animation style, and the depiction of humans, specifically women, in the video.


This song's somewhat trap like but it's definitely a music video that will command your attention, and possibly confuse the hell out of you. This video is one I'd definitely classify as "trippy". It's heavily edited and there isn't much of a plot but who needs those anyways?


This music video makes me think these are outtakes from Fantasia. I love the somewhat poppy sound echoing behind the adventure that unfold throughout the music video.


This is one of my all-time favorite music videos. It first premiered on Adult Swim and took off from there. The animation in this video is varied and aligns so well with the song written by Dan Deacon. This is by far one of the best music videos to listen to when you need to destress.


This video is a twist off of the original video and promo for the song Electric Love. It's fantastic, that is all.


If you enjoy reading or watching shows about a dystopian type of world, this video is going to rock your world.


This is a song you could definitely put on in the background while doing homework. It's a lesser watched video but it's definitely worth adding another view to the overall total on Youtube. I love how they illustrate the characters featured in the music video. I think that the band tried to incorporate cultural aspects into their psychedelic video.


Last but certainly not least, my absolute favorite video of all time. I love Tame Impala and this video combines digital effects and real acting so well. This video is definitely one anyone who has been hung out to dry by someone they had feelings for will relate to. It perfectly describes that contentedness we may feel waiting for the other person to be "ready" even though it's clear the other person's intentions aren't pure.

Happy watching!!

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
