I know I know, 90s music is definitely not what's close to "popular" music anymore, but you should listen to it anyways! I've been on a binge lately of nostalgic music and have fallen back in love with all this music I somehow forgot about. Grunge/rock music is such a good vibe for any time and any mood and reminds a lot of us of our wild middle school years. I can honestly say I've been in such a vibrant mood lately because of these flashback tunes. So I decided I wanted to share my top picks so that you can go on a nostalgic binge, too.

1. "Don't Speak" by No Doubt

I "know just what you're saying" — that it's a bomb song and you can't believe you forgot about it.

2. "Basket Case" by Green Day

Remember guyliner? Green Day wore it well.

3. "Lithium" by Nirvana

This song is underrated in my humble opinion. I know "Smells Like Teen Spirit" is the crowd favorite, but you might recognize this one, too (and love it).

4. "Otherside" by Red Hot Chili Peppers

It'll make you wanna be back in the old days AND wanna learn how to play the guitar.

5. "Heart-Shaped Box" by Nirvana

Hey! Wait! You gotta listen to this again for sure. Hella grunge.

6. "Semi-Charmed Life" by Third Eye Blind

How everyone (including me) forgot about this band for a while, I don't know. It's truly timeless.

7. "Under The Bridge" by Red Hot Chili Peppers

Yes, more Red Hot Chili Peppers — this is the one I've been playing on repeat and singing lyrics from day and night. Love you, RHCP.

8. "What's My Age" Again? by Blink-182

Strap on your glove and nurse outfit (referencing the album cover, for those who forgot about that).

9. "Buddy Holly" by Weezer

PSA: Weezer is one of the most underrated bands of all time, and you gotta listen to their newer music, too.

10. "Losing My Religion" by R.E.M.

This song is trying to keep up with you and doesn't know if it can do it...

11. "Santeria" by Sublime

He ain't got no crystal ball, but if he did it would show you bingeing 90s music tonight.

As Summer Ends

I'm Feeling Disappointed.

As Summer Ends
prexels.com

It's the last week of summer. I'm already back at school. I'm cringing at textbook prices, questioning if I really want to be taking the credits that I am and trying to figure out when, exactly, I'm going to sleep this semester. I'm starting a new chapter in my life. Things are changing, like they always are. I'm saying goodbye to yet another summer.

Finding God in Anti-God Classes

If you look closely enough, God is revealed in a new, powerful, beautiful, and magnificant way.

Many times in college we have events that make us question our faith. Growing up in a predominantly southern christian town at a public high school where the teachers were pretty open about their beliefs and most students were involved in a church, or at least claimed to be Christian, it was really hard to be faced with opposite views this first year at a public university. I have never had a reason to question my faith, until questions were posed to me that made me discover a new level of faith. When a professor who has their Ph.D. and seems to have worlds of knowledge, but they clearly disapprove of what you believe, it can rock your world. It seemed like all odds were put against me as three of my professors and classes were challenging what I believed about literally everything. The very foundation of who I am. This semester instead of feeling farther from God, I feel so much closer and more in awe because of these classes that were put in place to rattle me, but proved to rattle me into a deeper level of amazement with the world around me.

Lonesome for Paris

An experience I had in Paris was the closest thing I've had to an out-of-body experience, and I still wonder about it today.

Lonesome for Paris
Isabel Coffey

Last summer, I took a week-long trip to Paris. A close friend from high school invited me to stay with her in the apartment she was renting for the summer. I spent my week touring, exploring, dining, and shopping—all the expected wonderful things. But there was one day that showed me what I had never understood about that clichéd magic of Paris.

Why Does It Hurt?

It hurts because...

Why Does It Hurt?

The question everyone asks is "Why?" Why did the chicken cross the road? Why did I buy that? But the most dangerous "why," the why that breaks us down and makes us overthink, is when we ask ourselves "why" after a breakup or heartache. Why me? Why now? Why did this happen? Why after all this time do I still feel this hurt? Why. Why. Why.
