The start of a new year means the start of new music! For this upcoming year, in particular, several of our most beloved artists have fresh new albums in the works. Keep an eye out for your favorites this year!

1. Travis Scott - “Astroworld"

After Scott dropped "Antidote"at the end of 2015, he almost immediately propelled himself to stardom and has had a successful two years to say the very least. As his following album, "Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight" (2016), has gained popularity within today’s hip-hop, he is ready to succeed once again with his upcoming album "Astroworld."

2. The 1975 - “Music For Cars”

While The 1975’s past two significant albums ("The 1975" and "I like it when you sleep, for you are so beautiful yet so unaware of it") were largely based on stories that were presumably obtained from Matty Healy’s real-life experiences, the album in progress is said to be far different than the rest.

3. Kid Cudi and Kanye West - “Everybody Wins”

With a collab from these two, everybody sure will win. Although known for his 2009 hit "Pursuit of Happiness" for years on end, Kid Cudi has continued to produce quality albums where he has collaborated with Travis Scott, Pharrell Williams, Kendrick Lamar, etc. On the other hand, it goes without saying that Kanye West is a music icon and his work is loved by many. The combination of musical and philosophical talent exhibited continually by both artists will undoubtedly bring a very strong album.

4. Vampire Weekend - “Mitsubishi Macchiato”

While this band has seemingly flown under the radar since the 2013 album "Modern Vampires of the City,"they are still one of the most successful indie-rock bands of their time. The theme of the upcoming album "Mitsubishi Macchiato" is said to be centered around the principles of springtime and the cyclical nature of our lives as we have found them.

5. Cardi B - TBA

As the 25-year-old has had a momentous start to her career in the hip-hop world with her single "Bodak Yellow," she is now more prepared than ever to start building her own brand. As a new member of the seemingly elite group of female rappers, she’s on her way to kickin’ it with the big names of female hip-hop.

6. Arctic Monkeys - TBA

Although the group has not produced anything new since "AM"in 2013, it’s still evident that it’s hard for any other band to compete with the historical success the Arctic Monkeys have created. Regardless, it has been four whole years. Having said that, there’s clearly a lot riding on this album and the reaction from their dedicated and very patient fanbase.

7. A$AP Rocky - “Testing”

On January 4th, Rocky leaked a snippet of a new song on his Instagram story accompanied by the caption: “testing?” While we can presume that this was a song from the upcoming album, fans ranging from the A$AP Mob basis to Rocky’s solo career alike will patiently wait for the entirety of the album to drop.

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.

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.
