The Dixie Chicks Are Back And Better Than Ever
Start writing a post

At long last, The Dixie Chicks have finally released new music.

I have waited so long for this moment.

So. Long.

The Dixie Chicks were my role models as a kid. Their music was equally catchy as it was inspiring.

My parents always played the Travlin' Soldier album for every road trip, and I associate their music with positive memories.

They've done collaborations with both Beyonce and Taylor Swift in the past few years, but the fact that they have finally released their own music, with an album being released in May, is so, so exciting.

Now, I listened to their new single, Gaslighter, and it was everything I'd hoped it be and more.

It still has that Dixie Chicks sound we all know and love, but also gives off Goodbye Earl, girl power vibes, and is now my "men are trash" anthem.

The song talks about a man who is a gaslighter, which is a psychological manipulator who seeks to sow seeds of doubts in a targeted individual or in members of a group, making them question their own memory, perception or sanity.

There truly is nothing worse than mansplaining and gaslighting. Both used to make women feel like they are insane.

I will never understand why the Dixie Chicks got as canceled as they did since they couldn't even preform at the CMA's until Beyonce said she would not preform unless they were on stage. People really hated them for expressing an opinion over two presidencies ago.

It's extremely exciting that we'll get to here content with just them, because their feature in Soon You'll Get Better on Taylor Swift's Lover album was not nearly enough Dixie Chicks as I was hoping for.

However, these are better times, and the little girl fans they had back then are all grown up now, and can vote.

Gaslighter comes out May 1st!

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.
