Worship Songs... you gotta love them. But sometimes they can seem a bit cheesy and repetitive.

You want to spend some time listening to Christian music that will center you and let you worship through your earphones while walking to classes or studying in the library.

But sometimes all of the songs you have to choose from seem kind of lame. Christian music does not align with modern music tastes but instead forms its own separate category of cheesy lyrics and out-of-date background music. If you don't know what I'm talking about, turn on WBFJ or K-Love or whatever your local Christian radio station is.

Don't get me wrong, there are some artists and music that I love! Lauren Daigle!! Housefires!! They're literally fire! However, a majority of the Christian community may still not know that there are non-cheesy worship options that are actually nice to listen to. So here is a list of my favorite atypical worship songs:

1. On the Banks// Chris Renzema

'Cause your water's my redemption

Into your kingdom, your heart, God Most High

And your blood is the pow'r that breaks off my shackles

Ends all my battles, I find rest in You, Most High"

2. Turn// Future of Forestry

"Then morning rays through the haze

The golden blaze got a hold of you

It was a vision of light

That turned you around"

3. Sticks and Stones// Kings Kaleidescope

"Longing to give and taste forgiveness

Dying to live a pure religion

Settle the rush to chase submission

Open my eyes and soul to listen"

4. Losing My Religion// Lauren Daigle

"I'm losing my religion, and finding something new

'Cause I need something different, and different looks like You"

5. Let Your Blood Plead For Me// Sojourn

"Let your blood plead for me

Wash me clean

I believe, Lord, I believe

Your blood has covered me"

6. Melt My Soul To Love// Red Mountain Church

"The power, the sweetness of that voice,

My stony heart does move;

Makes me in Christ my Lord rejoice

And melts my soul to love"

7. Jumping from Jaded Heights// Kings Kaleidescope

"Show me every grace I lost the fight to see

I'm coming around

Remedy the piece of faith that broke in me"

8. Farther Along// Josh Garrels

"The good man dies, the bad man thrives

And Jesus cries because he loves 'em both

We're all castaways in need of rope"

9. Not in a Hurry// Will Reagan

"I'm learning to listen

Just to rest in Your nearness

I'm starting to notice

You are speaking"

10. Peace Like a River// Page CXVI

"come to the waters

watch it flow, with his love

where your heart won't wither

but grow"

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
