5 Songs To Keep You Sane When Studying At 3 AM

It’s been a great year so far. Ed Sheeran dropped his new album. Lorde released a new song after 4 years. Moonlight won Best Picture at the Oscars. And, now that March has arrived, the days are getting longer and warmer as we approach the first day of spring.

If you’re a student at UC Berkeley, you know that Spring Break isn’t until the last week of March, and as much as you want to get hammered on St. Patrick’s Day, you probably have another midterm to study for the week after. Nevertheless, here are a few jams to keep you sane while you study until 3 am every night.


1. Ed Sheeran, “Eraser”

To tell you the truth, I wanted to add every single song from "Divide" to this list this month, but since I’m all about diversity, I’m going to hold off for now. Basically, if you haven’t heard Ed Sheeran’s new album, you’re seriously missing out because “Eraser” is one of the catchiest songs I have ever heard.

2. Vampire Weekend, “A-Punk”

Honestly, this song reminds me of the average Cal student on 98 mg of Adderall -- twitching and buzzing with energy. While Vampire Weekend is mostly known for their song “Oxford Comma,” “A-Punk” give the listener a solid double-punch. The lyrics are complex, the production unorthodox.

3. Twenty One Pilots, “House Of Gold”

Tired of hearing “Stressed Out” on the radio all the time? No matter how many Grammys “Stressed Out” may win, the song is, without a shadow of doubt, overplayed. Instead, take a look into some of their older material. My favorite? “House Of Gold.”

4. Lorde, “Green Light”

Oh, you bet I’m adding this song to the list. Lorde is back and better than ever, and “Green Light” was worth the wait. Compared to her older material on Pure Heroine, “Green Light” is like a futuristic vortex, as Lorde ventures into the field of polished dance-pop. But, as always, everything she does is beautiful.

5. The Knocks, “I Wish (My Taylor Swift)”

The music video of “I Wish” involves synchronized dancers, futuristic choreography, and a legion of Taylor Swift lookalike robots. If that doesn’t creep you out even a little, then I’m not sure if you’re human. Otherwise, the song is ridiculously catchy. Maybe, someday, you’ll find your own Taylor Swift.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

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.
