5 YouTube Artists You Need To Start Listening To

YouTube launched Justin Bieber's career, but there are plenty of artists out there that have put their work on YouTube who deserve some love, too.

1. Lindsey Stirling

She dances and she plays the violin. How cool is that? She was originally on "America's Got Talent" season five and got voted off (something I will never understand). She released her most recent album, "Brave Enough" in August 2016 and she just released her first Christmas album, "Warmer in the Winter" a few days ago. She's currently competing on "Dancing with the Stars".


2. Peter & Evynne Hollens

They’re a super talented married couple who performs covers of pop songs and Broadway songs alike; some of them a capella, some of them not. They each have their own channel, but they collaborate a lot. They're definitely relationship goals. My favorite of their covers is "I See The Light."


3. The Piano Guys

Jon Schmidt plays the piano, and Steven Sharp Nelson plays the cello. They do classical covers of popular songs. One of my favorite covers of theirs is “A Thousand Years,” and my favorite mashup cover they did was “Beethoven’s 5 Secrets,” a blend of “Secrets” by OneRepublic and Beethoven’s 5th.


4. Taylor Davis

She’s a violinist as well. She mostly does covers of movie and video game scores, but she did release an album of original music in 2015. My favorite cover that she's done is a "Star Wars"medley she did when "The Force Awakens" came out.


5. Todrick Hall

He’s done covers of Disney songs, as well as re-imagining Disney movies with an artist’s music, like "Peter Pan" set to Katy Perry (“Peter Perry”) and "Cinderella" set to Beyoncé (“Cinderoncé”). His first original album, "Straight Outta Oz", was released in 2016, and was a sort of homage to Beyonce’s "Lemonade". Since then, he’s been on Broadway as Lola in "Kinky Boots" and appeared on "RuPaul's Drag Race". One of my favorite songs from "Straight Outta Oz" is "Black and White," his collaboration with Mitch Grassi, Scott Hoying, and Kirstin Maldonado of Pentatonix.

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:

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.
