If you haven't been paying attention to the music scene lately, here's some big news: Pentatonix, the famous a capella group, just released their Christmas album on iTunes, Spotify, Google, and Amazon. After the success of their 2014 Christmas album, they're back again with something new and beautiful.

Pentatonix is an a capella group of five people, consisting of Scott Hoying, Mitch Grassi, Kirstin Maldonado, Avi Kaplan, and Kevin "K.O." Olusola. The group formed and appeared on NBC's The Sing-Off in 2011, winning the season and getting a recording contract as a result. Since their conception, they've become platinum recording artists, uploading their covers on YouTube to a wide and loving audience.

Their first Christmas album, That's Christmas to Me, blew the world by storm and sold almost two million copies, gaining the certification double platinum by the RIAA. The group, as well as having sold-out tours, have amassed multiple Grammy Awards. They just released one of the songs on their tracklist, "Hallelujah," on October 21, 2016. The video currently has 16 million views on YouTube.

They also recently covered Dolly Parton's "Jolene," which she sang with them. The group has 13 million views on this video, and nearly 2 billion on their YouTube channel, and their videos have been shared all over. Other covers done by Pentatonix include Kiiara's "Gold," Shai's "If I Ever Fall in Love" featuring Jason Derulo, and Meghan Trainor's "No."

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.

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.
