It's no question that in the years following the 3-year hiatus, Fall Out Boy has been drifting away from their original sound in favor of something more radio friendly. The pop transition has been controversial at best, leaving their 2018 album "Mania" with highly mixed reviews. The newest music video "Bishops Knife Trick" is no different.

Perfectly mirroring the 2009 "Thnks Fr Th Mmrs" video, lead singer Patrick Stump replaces the high-maintenance monkeys as the director of the era-defining Llama's music video. It's a fantastically played out parody from a band who has been known for goofy and self-satirical antics in the past; however, the motivation behind pairing the album's ballad with a whimsical music video has sparked its own controversy. While some are calling the video an ill-fitted blast from the past, others are reading into Stump's behavior in the video as the band's way of explaining what initially lead to the 2010 hiatus.

What do you think? Was the video paired with the emotional song for a deeper reason or is it all just for the sake of humorous nostalgic?

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.

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.
