1. A Day To Remember

They are a classic. Many people who had that middle or high school emo phase in the 2000s definitely know at least one or two of their songs either Have Faith in Me or If it Means a Lot to You. But not only are their old albums classics to listen to -- their newer songs like Rescue Me or Mindreader are amazing too. They also have a good mix of softer and harder music so everyone could find something they like

2. SayWeCanFly

SayWeCanFly is a significantly smaller artist but has some AMAZING content. His style is definitely on the soft side compared to the other artist I am going to recommend. But his songs are great and relatable. SayWeCanFly has a new EP called Nosebleed dropping on July 24, 2020, and so far the released songs of the album are great, my three favorite songs by him are Lifeboat, Anxiety, and If I Had an Airplane (Feat. Emily James).

3. I Prevail

I am definitely thanking my sister for this recommendation but I have started to really like them. They are similar to A Day To Remember with some soft songs and hard songs. For them, I would definitely recommend listening to their album Trauma. It is hard for me to pick just a few songs off their album because so far I love them all! But definitely with everything that is going on one song by them I love that is on the album and they also remade with Joyner Lucas is DOA. Both versions are great but the one with Joyner Lucas talks about the Black Lives Matter movement and sheds light on the issues there.

4. Papa Roach

Definitely another classic right here. They have been music since 1993 and are definitely on the more hard rock side of the alternative space but they have some amazing hits like Last Resort and Scars. Their newer stuff is awesome too! Their most recent album is Who Do You Trust? Off that album, I would recommend Better Than Life and Elevate. I love both of those songs!

5. Sleeping With Sirens

This one is one of my favorites and the definition of my favorite band back when I went through my emo phase. Sleeping With Sirens has some amazing songs, I am a sucker for most of their music but I love their acoustic album If You Were A Movie, This Would Be Your Soundtrack which is more for the people who like softer music or like to hear their songs in a different way. But I would say 3 songs I'd recommend by them is If You Can't Hang, If I'm James Dean, You're Audrey Hepburn, and How It Feels to Be Lost.

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!

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.
