You're going to want to call the doctor after this show... doctor funk, that is! Get your tickets here to see these soulful guys get down all night.

2. Baauer, December 2, Republic.

Click here to come see the brains behind the hit song "Harlem Shake" and trap out all night.

3. Jai Wolf, December 3, Republic.

This electronic yet chill sound is selling out for a reason. GA tickets are already sold out, but you can still get GA floor tickets if you act fast! Get your tickets here.

4. Big Freedia, December 10, The Art Garage.

This New Orleans native and queen of bounce music is bound to get you up and shakin' your booty! Click here to be dazzled by the one and only Freedia.

5. Running of the Santas with Flow Tribe and Category 6, December 17, The Metropolitan Nightclub.

6. The Soul Rebels, Trombone Shorty, and Wendell Brunious, December 18, The George and The Joyce Wein Jazz & Heritage Center.

A little bit jazzy, a little bit funky, and a whole lot of fun. See this awesome combo of artists at this center, to be opened on December 12. Ticket information is not yet available, so look out for tickets closer to the show!

Tulane University

803

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

University of Vermont

2411

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.

13. When it all comes down to it, though, you know that at the end of the day, music is your passion:

Because you need it in your life.
