6 Songs To Add To Your Car Playlists

There are certain songs that fill your speakers and force you to nod your head. And while we're in the summer and looking to get out of the house more, it might just be in your best interest to look for more of those certain songs to spice up your drives. Fear not, because I got six tracks that you're gonna want to peep as soon as possible. Safe driving.

Kid Again by Max Wonders

In this softspoken nostalgia trip, Max Wonders manages to conjure up that feeling of uncertainty as one grows into shoes that may be overwhelming. It's a nice, poignant track about the worries of leaving childhood behind, and it's a fantastically mixed bassy bop in the process. The raw emotion pairs surprisingly well with the deep end, creating a whole that's emotion-inducing and motion-inducing all the same

JSTCUM by RNDYSVGE and Olukara

RNDYSVGE blends delicate vocals with one of the nastiest, ungodliest, funkiest basslines ever, creating a confusing whirlwind of wonky grooves and unbelievable soul, which induces nothing less than the stankest of stankfaces. When Olukara comes in, it's the smooooooooooothest cherry on top. The overall product is a bombastic, calm, lively, and smooth self-contradiction that's hard not to snap along to.

Only Human by Innanet James

I'm a huge fan of Innanet James for his ability to make the most danceable music while infusing it with his own sardonic brand of political/social commentary. In this track, he plays verbal hopscotch over a beautiful chord progression and a brilliantly unfolding instrumental, all while touching on Islamophobia, his proud racial identity, Donald Trump, before coming to the conclusion that we're all ultimately human and should love each other regardless of differences. It sounds like a trite lyrical structure, but the execution is immaculate.

All This Money by Injury Reserve

OH OH OH OH OH OH OH MY GOD. Ritchie With a T's shouty delivery might be off-putting to some, but the rest of the track's composition makes it pretty easy to get onboard. With a Lil' Jon style hook and effervescent attitude, this track makes it clear that the Arizona group Injury Reserve has energy enough for at least seven other rap groups. Side note: this is a fantastic workout song.

Bubblin' by Anderson .Paak

.Paak is probably more known for his soulful R&B jams, but this track really works as a change of pace for him. Built around a moody orchestral sample, this track is bouncy in the best way. It flows uniformly while also creating a self-referential bubbly energy, which makes it easily one of the most fun songs of 2018 so far.

No Data by Daye Jack

The intro track to his underrated 2017 album of the same name, "No Data" is a poppy, shimmering showstopper that lyrically introduces a concept that Daye tackles throughout the project. Otherwise, it's a marvelous blend of genres, including but not limited to rap, 80s pop, and (somehow) new jack swing. It's a great, enjoyable number that sets the tone for a great album. Moreover, it's a song that simultaneously lives in the moment and relishes in the details. It's intricate while also effortlessly moving from second to second in breathless fashion. Definitely worth checking out.

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.
