Pop buzz

On Sept. 25, 2005, Las Vegas based pop-punk band Panic! At The Disco released their first album titled "A Fever You Can't Sweat Out." Over 10 years later lead singer Brendon Urie is still showing off his four-octave vocal range in his band’s latest releaseDeath of a Bachelor. Their first album to reach #1 on the Billboard 200, Panic! began releasing singles from this track from April to its release on Jan. 15, 2016. Many of the songs have something like ‘20s jazz behind them, accompanying Brendon Urie’s voice that can range from Frank Sinatra to female opera singer. "Crazy=Genius" and "Death of a Bachelor" illustrate the electric jazz felt throughout the album. Panic! has shed its’ early 2000s pop punk look and have made — and stand out — in a genre all their own.

Sole founding member still remaining in the band Brendon Urie married Sarah Orzechowskiin in 2013, something alluded to in the title of the album "Death of a Bachelor." Once considered a hard partier, Urie's new married life is reflected in many of the songs. Though he has left his past behind him, he is still excited about sharing his life with the person he loves the most. Urie has certainly freed himself of his past-self and these songs really show it. The band and their singer have moved on from their earlier hits but haven’t completely forgotten where they started.

The one and only downside with this album are the three songs included that have been out for months. The third track, "Hallelujah," was released as a single in April of last year. It’s not a bad song, one of their best in fact, it’s just that it’s not as new as the rest of the album.

Still, this is a great way to start off the new year and will make it difficult for other bands’ albums being released this year to compete with the high expectations set by Panic! At The Disco.

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.
