A mini insight into my Spotify discoveries

I live off of Spotify. Whether I am listening to old songs and reminiscing on my childhood, or listening to the top hits, I am constantly using Spotify for music. One of my favorite uses of Spotify is creating different playlists for my variety of moods. One of my most diverse playlists is my 'Exploratory Bops' playlist. It consists of new (or old) songs from a plethora of artists.

Here are my top seven songs from my playlist! They definitely earned a spot on one of my other playlists.

1. What You Do To Me - John Legend

One of my most recent musical obsessions is John Legend. He always hooks me with his lyrics and the musicality in all of his songs is so incredibly beautiful.

2. Sit Still, Look Pretty - Daya (feat. R!OT)

I thought this was the most annoying song until one of my friends played this remix the other night. For some reason, I am oddly obsessed with this remix! It is such a fun party and workout song and the musicality in the remix is super dynamic.

3. How Far I'll Go; From 'Moana' - Alessia Cara

This song is my new jam with my best friend. Alessia has such a unique voice and the song just makes me feel really happy. Plus, it is from an adorable movie, so what's not to love?

4. Make Me (Cry) - Noah Cyrus, Labrinth

I did not know how I felt about this song when I first listened to it, but after a few listens, I fell in love with it. Noah has such a special voice and I think the song is great for being her first single. I have a feeling she will go far as a musician and I am thrilled to watch her journey.

5. Fake Love - Drake

If I'm being honest, I love listening to Drake because I love attempting to rap his songs. One of my best friends is amazing at rapping and Drake is one of her favorite artists. Her love for him has rubbed off on me, so I try to incorporate some of his songs into my playlists. Plus, his songs are great for parties!

6. All We Have Is Love - Sabrina Carpenter

Every time a new album comes out, I typically listen through and find a few of my favorite songs. I honestly do not understand how I skipped over this when listening to Sabrina's album, 'EVOLution.' I had the opportunity to see Sabrina in concert in early December and this was by far one of my favorite song that she performed. I absolutely love seeing artists perform songs live; it connects people to songs in such a unique and special way.

7. Rise Up - Andra Day

This song is on a commercial for a new TV show (I forgot the name of it), but as soon as I heard it, I was intrigued. I ended up googling some of the lyrics that I heard and easily found the song on Spotify. Andra's voice is so powerful and I love the message the song portrays.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
