How To Create Your Own Pregame Playlist
Miranda Hemsworth

Now that school is back in, it’s time to have the perfect pregame playlist. A pregame playlist sets your mood for the night. It’s essential that the playlist gets everyone hyped to go out, but not too much so there’s no energy left for the evening. With these songs, your playlist will be perfect.

First, start with a throwback that will get people interested in the playlist. Don't go with an all-time classic, such as "Low" by the Ying Yang twins, because songs like this should be saved for the main event of the night. A pregame playlist needs to leave a little bit left to be desired. Some good songs for this would be: "Drop It Like It's Hot" by Snoop Dogg and Pharell WIlliams, "Birthday Cake" by Rihanna, or "We R Who We R" by Kesha.

Next, we need to bring it back to current music. This will keep people singing along and the energy up. While you're getting ready to go out, you most likely are dressing up in trendy clothes (if its not a theme party that you'll be attending) and the music will help match the mood. Most people enjoy top hits, or at least tolerate them, so this song can serve as a crowd-pleaser. You can either look up the top iTunes hits or use some of these: "My House" by Flo Rida, "Famous" by Kanye West, or "This Is What You Came For" by Calvin Harris.

Go ahead and flex your love of your favorite artists with the next song. Since you have the aux cord, go ahead and play something that you like. If your still trying to please the crowd, maybe find a song off an album by a popular artist that people like. Sometimes people don't know how good an artist truly is because they only hear the radio singles, so use this opportunity to show off your favorite musicians. Some good songs that aren't on the radio are: "TiO" by Zayn Malik, "Body Heat" by Selena Gomez, and "Don't Threaten Me with a Good Time" by Panic! at the Disco.

While getting ready, sometimes you aren't paying attention to the words of the songs. This is a good opportunity to throw in some EDM/dubstep/electronic music. The rhythmic beats can help you get in the groove of getting ready. Some good options for this are: "Bubble Butt" by Major Lazer, "Lights (Bassnectar remix)" by Ellie Goulding, or "Stay (ft Maty Noyes)" by Kygo.

Of course you are welcome to choose whatever songs you want, but I hope these suggestions can help you out when making a pregame playlist. Just keep repeating these types of songs and you'll be on your way to being the go-to person for having control of the aux cord.

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.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
