Over the last decade, dance music has evolved into many different formats, allowing artists to expand their musical talents into different genres and futuristic elements of the twenty-first century. Just as many fans have witnessed, bands and singers have jumped onto the mixing wagon, while some of the original veteran DJ's have decided to change up their styles to fit with times. While Avicii may not be considered an original veteran to electronic music, he has been big on the charts around the globe for nearly a decade with some of his well-demonstrated deep house productions as he worked closely under Laidback Luke.

Well, this year the tables have turned, Avicii is taking his talents to the next level as he collaborates on a huge new project with PS4 and their newest video game "Invector". The object of the game is to keep hand and eye coordination on point, which makes this perfect for any DJ who wants to practice their profession while also taking a break and playing a game! While Rockband and Guitar Hero brought the initial idea to the bring the rhythmic balance of music to the video-gaming world. "Invector" is reaching all new horizons as an intense rhythmic game for hardcore gaming fanatics, allowing an entire world to revolve around the BPM of the music playing in the game. According to Oskar Hanska from PlayStation blog , "we managed to grant each track the attention it deserved and utilize the unique components of every hit song you play in the game – the melodies, rhythms, harmonies, beats, and vocals".

Watch below as the official trailer plays one of Avicii's latest hits, "Without You" as vibrantly stellar-space worlds are revealed. According to Hanksa,

“Avicii gave us access to his awesome music and his creative input regarding the overall experience of the game. This was extra valuable when we explored aspects of playing with friends, and in creating that feeling of partying at a concert with your closest mates.”

The game is based on musical balance, allowing each gamer to sync objects and obstacles to different elements in each track, either as a single player or go back2back with friends. Fly through space and hit all of the obstacles on the beat to get through the worlds, with each song featuring 3 different difficulty levels. This game is meant to entirely connect the music world to the gaming world, enabling current musicians to focus on hand and eye coordination to the rhythm and beat of each track. While many reviewers may recall the game announcement over 2 years ago during Paris Games Week, effortless work has the game is set to release soon, but there is no immediate reveal date for this official PS4 game yet. Still not convinced about the intriguing world of "Invector"? Check out the official trailer below to find out for yourself below.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
