Why This Is The Best New Music You Need To Play ASAP

A couple of hits to remember before March sets in.

Since March is almost over and done with, I wanted to give a little list of some of the best music that’s come out this month. And there’s been a lot! Kendrick Lamar released his Black Panther soundtrack, Janelle Monae dropped a few new singles (and spilled her album release date!!) and Frank Ocean gave us a beautiful cover of Moon River.

1. Make Luv - Brent Faiyaz

This is a nice, super chill song from Brent. It’s nothing too fancy, but that’s what makes it a good listen; it’s the kind of song you listen to at the end of a long day.

2. Computer Luv - Rayvn Lenae ft. Steve Lacy

Everything Steve Lacy touches turns to gold, and that’s proven with this song. It’s a duet taken from Lenae’s new EP, which is also worth a listen.

3. Moon River - Frank Ocean

I LOVE THIS SONG, OK? I’m not even talking about the Frank version — as a kid, I loved Breakfast at Tiffany’s (and Audrey Hepburn) and this song was such a moment. Frank Ocean’s version is a lovely — and creative — rendition of an old favorite.

4. Make Me Feel - Janelle Monae

I have a lot of lovey-dovey feelings about this song. You can 10000% tell that Monae is one of Prince’s proteges — this song has his impact written all over it. Also, there’s a 99.9999% chance that this song (and the accompanying music video) is Monae’s way of coming out.

5. Django Jane - Janelle Monae

Another instant bop, this time with Monae rapping about her identity, masculinity, her come-up and female empowerment.

6. Cocky - A$AP Rocky ft. Gucci Mane, 21 Savage and London On Da Track

A$AP’S BACK! No, but seriously, it’s been a while since Rocky dropped anything that wasn’t part of an A$AP Mob project, or a feature on someone else’s song. It’s a good song, one nicely balanced by the features from Gucci and 21 Savage.

7. Stone Woman - Charlotte Day Wilson

Wilson’s got a lovely voice, and this is a lovely song.

8. Love Lies - Khalid & Normani Kordei

This is soo good, and it’s nice to finally hear Normani sing without the rest of Fifth Harmony.

9. The Ways - Khalid ft. Swae Lee

This song is very sweet, and is part of the amazing Kendrick Lamar selected Black Panther soundtrack. It’s really cute, ok?

10. I Am - Jorja Smith

Another miracle from the Black Panther soundtrack, featuring the work of Jorja Smith, who’s always a pleasant song. This is...you guessed it, a bop

It’s been a good month.

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.
