2011 was a time where pop music was saturated with dance beats and positive lyrics. Whether these five albums utilized those trends or worked against them, they all influenced popular music.

The Weeknd, House of Balloons

A stark contrast to the upbeat, EDM sounds of the early 2010s, "House of Balloons" sent music in a whole new direction. The Weeknd takes listeners through all the stages of a high. He warns us yet invites us to try to enter his world of partying, drugs, and women.

2. Britney Spears, Femme Fatale

10 years ago, Britney Spears released 'Femme Fatale'. "Till the World Ends" was the second single for her seventh studio, and it went #3 on the Billboard Top 100. Britney proved on 'Femme Fatale' that her reign in pop is not to be challenged.

3. Lupe Fiasco, Lasers

You may remember 'Lasers' for Lupe Fiasco's request to "unmake" it. Although 'Lasers' is not the project Lupe appears to be most proud of, the album debuted at number one.

4. Chris Brown, F.A.M.E

Short for "Forgiving All My Enemies" and "Fans Are My Everything", Chris Brown's F.A.M.E. debuted at #1 on the Billboard US 200 with three charting singles. Play "Look At Me Now", "Yeah 3x", or "Beautiful People" at any party, and you're guaranteed to get a positive reaction from the crowd. 'F.A.M.E.' also won Brown his first Grammy for Best R&B Album and is certified double platinum.

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.

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.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
