Have you listened to any of his other songs besides Uptown Funk?

Don't Sleep On Mark Ronson

You may not know who Mark Ronson is, but you've jammed to his music. I can guarantee that. He is responsible for the master album that contained Uptown Funk. That album is straight fire but no one really listened to it. Its funny because it sounds like a one hit wonder situation, you know one song goes big but none of the others do and presumably they're all trash. Well, I'm here to tell you that they are not, they bang. Dude, this album was positively received by most critics and also got an A- from the A.V. Club, saying that the album is "pop-friendly, and undeniably sexy collection of funk and R&B", and praised the tracks "Summer Breaking", "Daffodils", "Feel Right", "I Can’t Lose" "Crack In The Pearl", and "Heavy And Rolling". What's awesome about the album is that it's Mark's 4th studio album and he dedicated it to Amy Winehouse. It's called Uptown Special and it totally reminds me of the 80's, not necessarily 80's music but it mostly feels like it would be perfect to use as the score for a movie about the 80's. The album is an extremely talented producer just doing his thing, and the story behind the album is just as awesome, its supposed to represent all these different parts of America, so Ronson took a road trip all across America, and the artists he found singing in bars and local dives, he put them on the album. It is all different, and just good music. It's a good album to look back on and revisit all of those songs that you avoided just to listen to Uptown Funk. And yes, Uptown Funk frickin' bumps. It's a great song, but you really need to check out the other songs if you want to get a full scope of his album. So stop sleeping on Mark Ronson. He's a super talented producer that no one really talks about. Also, does anyone know what happened to Macklemore??

PS. Stevie Wonder is on the album. Oh you didn't know that? Yeah, go check it out right now. Oh and if you're too lazy to actually go buy the album, I found the whole thing on YouTube and pasted it for you below.

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.

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
