20 Albums To Get You Through The End Of The Semester Slump
Greta Westcott

The end of the year is almost here. I honestly cannot believe how fast this past semester has gone by. Over the last few months, I have discovered and revisited some albums that help me get through anything; stress, homework, love, friendship... anything. These are some pick me ups that I would suggest to anyone looking to expand their music field.

1. Dean Lewis - "Same Kind of Different EP"

Suggested song: Need You Now

"Because you’re the only one who comes when I’m lonely
You’re the only one who comes when I’m lonely for you."

2. Dispatch - "America, Location 12"

Suggested song: Only the Wild Ones

"No place to go but everywhere."

3. Turnover - "Peripheral Vision"

"With you tonight, I know I can make it out, with you tonight I know I'll make it out alive."

4. Tame Impala - "Currents"

Suggested song: Yes I'm Changing

"They say people never change, but that's bullshit, they do
Yes I'm changing, can't stop it now
And even if I wanted I wouldn't know how
Another version of myself I think I found, at last."

5. Tom Walker - "Fly Away With Me (Single)"

Suggested song: Fly Away With Me

"So come on fly away with me
To a place where we could be anyone we wanna be
And we can bottle up our fears
Grow a taste so sweet, knock us off our feet."

6. Allday - "Speeding"

Suggested song: Ghost

"I'll sit there waiting for the moon to rise
At the park watching good people and human life
I don't wish for it, I know it will soon arrive."

7. Mallrat - "Better (Single)"

Suggested song: Better

"All this hope is in the sky
Things I couldn't ask for anything
You're always on my side
Everyone's alive so everything's alright."

8. The Lumineers - "Cleopatra"

Suggested song: Angela

"The strangers in this town,
They raise you up just to cut you down
Oh Angela it's a long time coming, Home at last."

Suggested song: ILYSB

"My heart hurts so good
I love you, baby, so bad, so bad."

10. Mikey Mike - "Doin' Me (Single)"

Suggested song: Doin' Me

"Cuz I won't waste another day, Living someone elses way. I wanna be happy, I wanna be free, Fuck what they say, I'm doing me."

11. Grace VanderWaal - "Just the Beginning"

Suggested song: A Better Life

"So close your eyes
And create yourself a better life
Let the wind blow through your hair
Let the music take you there
And make a better life
A better life."

12. Coldplay - "Viva La Vida" or "Death and All His Friends"

Suggested song: Strawberry Swing

"Now the sky could be blue
I don't mind
Without you it's a waste of time."

13. Son Mieux - "Vice Versa EP"

But it feels like home
And I move myself away
When it don't feels like home
Well now I love myself again
And it feels like home."

Just need a little sunshine."

Well who am I to keep you down
It's only right that you should
Play the way you feel it."

Shut my eyes and you know
I’ll be lying right by your side
In Barcelona."

A little bit of love and gonna

Oh, she's sleep when I need rest
And though the ship can be saved yet
And oh, for you, I would never sink again."

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
