Within the hustle and bustle of day-to-day life, people often find themselves caught up in their daily happenings, and, consequently, aren’t able to allow themselves a chance to breathe.

In between daily responsibilities, it has become something of a social norm to listen to music through headphones.

Although seemingly insignificant, this time is crucial for recharging our batteries. Having said that, if you choose to listen to music during your break time, you may want to take into consideration what you’re listening to and how it will affect your mood for the remainder of a surely hectic day.

Here are 8 artists you need to be listening to between your daily responsibilities:

1. Daniel Caesar

The Canadian R&B singer/songwriter’s most recent album, "Freudian," is a strong record with many amazing tracks. With help from Kali Uchis, H.E.R. and Charlotte Day Wilson, Caesar’s songs are both calming and melodious.

Recommended: "Get You" (feat. Kali Uchis), "The Best Part" (feat. H.E.R), and "Japanese Denim" (Single)

2. Frank Ocean


After the highly successful "Channel ORANGE" in 2012, Ocean released Blonde which has soared in popularity. Although Frank is a very versatile artist with a vast amount of talent, many of his songs are peaceful and are perfect for recharging.

Recommended: " Pink and White ," "Solo," and "Sierra Leone" (Channel ORANGE)

3. Jack Johnson

Jack Johnson’s music has the ability to transport your mind to a place far away, generally somewhere on a sunny beach where worries are known to disappear.

Recommended: " Banana Pancakes ," "Washing Dishes," and "Radiate (From Here To Now To You)"

4. Angus and Julia Stone

This pair is most known for their 2010 hit, "Big Jet Plane," and since then have continued to combine their voices into something continually beautiful. While these songs typically are centered around love and being in love, the voices at their core are soft and relieving.

Recommended: " The Devil’s Tears ," and "Santa Monica Dream"

5. Mac Demarco

Although sometimes undeniably bizarre, Mac Demarco’s soft voice acts as therapeutic during a time of stress as his song lyrics typically have nothing to do with anything of any relevance. The happy-go-lucky-type beats translate into a very satisfying sound.

Recommended: " Passing Out Pieces ," "Ode to Viceroy," and "My Kind of Woman"

6. Miguel

An angel of all things R&B, Miguel’s soothing voice makes any song more beautiful. In addition to his delightful voice, his songs are always able to calm me down.

Recommended: " Adorn ," "Do You…," and "What’s Normal Anyway"

7. John Mayer

Known by many, John Mayer is an unquestionable icon of soft rock. His melodies are peaceful as well as meaningful.

Recommended: " Slow Dancing in a Burning Room ," and "Free Fallin’"

8. Oh Wonder

The male/female duo are known to produce soft-grooving tunes that incorporate a twist of R&B and Indie. Having said that, the songs are catchy and light as well as simple.

Recommended: "Lose It," and "Drive, Lifetimes"

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.

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.
