Calvin Harris and Dua Lipa Delight on House Anthem “One Kiss”
Calvin Harris & Dua Lipa

Calvin Harris has been on a roll with all of his A-list collaborations over the past several years including everyone from Rihanna and Frank Ocean, to Nicki Minaj and Gwen Stefani, as well as John Legend. His sound has been bouncing around from today's ubiquitous radio-ready EDM pop to slow-jamming R&B fare. On his latest release, Harris harks back to old school 90s house goodness in “One Kiss" - which unsurprisingly features a very of-the-moment pop princess...none other than English singer-songwriter/model Dua Lipa who is currently all over the FM airwaves with her “New Rules" hit.

“One Kiss" is definitely very reminiscent OG Calvin Harris. Think his earlier pace-setting staples like “I Created Disco" and “Disco Heat“ way before being Taylor's beau and becoming one of the richest DJs on the planet. The track brings back fond memories of that catchy classic house sound that swept Manhattan during the heyday of Crystal Waters' excellent 1991 “Gypsy Woman" house anthem. That's the direction where Harris takes “One Kiss"' along with his latest leading lady and EDM diva Lipa. And it's certainly working. Harris brings the bumping soulful grooves while Lipa belts out sassy diva vocal declaring that “one kiss is all it takes to" fall in love with her.

In today's music day and age of cookie-cutter commercial EDM sounds, it's nice to go back to basics and hear some quality deep house. And maybe going back to that is the future of dance music this time around.

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.
