6 Reasons Why You Should Get Into K-pop
Got7

Within the past two years, I have recently discovered the music phenomenon K-pop. It all began with my sister who is known to surf the "tube" as they say and one bored day, we both discovered our first band: Nu'est. For the longest time that's all I thought there was to this genre, but my pro sister began exploring and found all these knew bands and before I knew it, I became hooked on K-pop bands.

K-pop stands for (South) Korean Pop Music and the genre consists of mainly groups of boy bands and girl bands, although there are some single artists out there; one that you may know is Psy. These bands can consist up to 21 members (Double B) and be as small as two or three.

When people first hear or even see a K-pop video they get pretty weird, and they have a right to be. I mean, it was a huge culture shock for me with all their fancy outfits and unique dancing styles. K-pop is actually pretty intense. But some people still don't know what K-pop is or they shun it saying that is really, really, weird. (Which it can be if you watch the right videos.)

K-pop, though, is a really awesome genre and more people should appreciate this new and incoming popular art form. Here are some reasons why people should get into K-pop.

1. They're cute

K-pop band members are awkwardly aesthetically pleasing; for both the boy and girl bands. But it could also be because they always wear make-up in their videos in their videos.

2. They're funny

A lot of the bands have a great sense of humor and are know to goof off in their practice sessions and interviews.

3. They're definitely entertaining

All of their videos have some sort of story or theme that plays into the song. Although a lot of times it gets really hard to relate everything that's going on. They are even fun to watch as they film or make their songs and music videos.

4. They're totally skilled

They are trained in both the vocals and dance moves to the extreme.

5. Their dance moves

The dance moves they pull off would even put a dance major to shame. These moves are so intense and in-sync that it just makes you go, "Wow."

6. They put on a show

Their music is awesome, their dance moves are on point, and they work hard. When you put all these qualities together, you get an amazing experience. You get to see an music video filled with dancing, a story line, interesting music, and (sometimes) cute members.

So why aren't you listening to them now? If you need some help to start, here are some bands you can look up; Girls Generation, EXO, Got7, 4MINUTE, and Block B.

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.
