Music nowadays is full of autotune and bad rhymes accompanied by trashy music videos. What makes this worse is that a lot of times my taste of music is 'shocking' to other kids my age. Here a list of the best bands to listen to to not only open your horizon but give you insight into music that shaped the world.

1. The Beatles

No matter how cliche it sounds, the Beatles revolutionized music. Despite their short career as a band, they left one of the biggest impacts on musicians and the world. Best songs? Abbey Road Medley, Come Together, and Hey Jude (cliche I know!).

2. Pink Floyd

I first heard Us and Them when I was in fifth grade, and from then on I've been hooked. Pink Floyd is known for the psychedelic feeling music combined with rock and blues. They sure aren't just another brick in the wall.

3. Elvis Presley

While this is an artist and not a band, he deserves just as much recognition. Elvis is probably the most iconic performer ever, maybe tied with Michael Jackson. While his career took a hit in the 60's his music was nonetheless amazing considering he could sing most anything. Highly recommended listening to American Trilogy.

4. The Eagles

The Eagles are also another one of my favorite bands. Take It Easy and Already Gone are epic songs for a road trip.

5. The Rolling Stones

Another iconic band, the Stones changed the music scene just as the Beatles had done. Their edgy frontman Mick Jagger took the hearts of young girls and captured the ears of generations to come.

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!

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.
