9 Amazing Female Artists You've Never Heard Of
Sky Ferreira

Marina & The Diamonds

"Savages"

"Lies"

"Can't Pin Me Down"

This Welsh alternative/indie pop star came to America long ago, playing shows and festivals like Coachella and Lollapalooza. It's hard to choose the better lyricist between her and Lana. All three of her albums feature her unique vibe, The Family Jewels (2010), Electra Heart (2012), and Froot (2015), while each one offers a sound progressively different from the last yet just as enticing.


Sky Ferreira

"I Blame Myself"

"Night Time, My Time"

"I Will"

Self-made badass model-and-actress-turned-singer/songwriter Sky Ferreira has been in the public eye since she was just fourteen years old. She dropped out of school, left her family behind and forged herself a career in entertainment when she signed her first contract with Parlophone Records in 2009. She has experimented with several genres of music, predominantly dance pop, indie rock, synth pop, and new wave. She is likely best known for opening Miley Cyrus's Bangerz tour and for her long-time modeling work with IMG Models.


Ellis Clare

@edgyellis


Ellis Clare, better known by her Instagram moniker "edgyellis", is one of New York's hottest rookie models. Her career was launched just a little over a year ago when she started modeling with ShopJeen, and since then she's garnered 40k Instagram followers.


Lana Del Rey

"Lolita"

"Brooklyn Baby"

"Gods & Monsters"


You may have heard some of her stuff, but the Summertime Sadness pop remix doesn't count. She's won over nine awards for her music since 2012, though the charts don't accurately measure her talent. With more than seven million albums and twelve million singles sold worldwide, and over 6.5 million listeners on Spotify, she leads the alternative scene.


Inka Williams

@inkawilliams


A mere sixteen years old, this Bali native has already taken the modeling world by storm. Though petite and only 5'5", she's had lots of success in countless swimsuit campaigns, in addition to her work for fashion brands like UNIF, Supre and Volcom.


Melanie Martinez

"Pity Party"

"Soap"

"Cry Baby"

This one-of-a-kind pop singer is just beginning to make it to mainstream music, though if you take a look at her full albums, you'll see just how special and offbeat her style really is.


Charlotte Free

Just because you haven't heard of her doesn't mean you haven't seen her. Though only 5'7", Charlotte is a veteran supermodel, from Vogue to Harper's Bazaar to Maybelline New York. She's famous for her angelic-punk aesthetic and fiery style.


Osha Waiters

@oshawaiters

Osha is a model and fashion photographer based in New York and the UK. Her chic looks and bold style aren't the only things that make her a top competitor - her charming personality along with her skills and experience in the fashion industry make her a promising artist.


Jazzeppi Zanaughtti

@poshsplice

Currently exploding on social media due to her recent work with Dolls Kill, this NY model's Instagram bio says it best: "just another messy drag queen she-it-hoe". This it-girl can be recognized by her trademark bleach-blond buzzcut, invisible brows, bewitching aura, and her signature safety-pin septum jewelry.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
