“I Don’t Care” By Ariana Grande Is The Ultimate Mood You Need To Be In
Alfredo Flores

The other day, I was on the train, feeling overwhelmed after a very long, stressful day at work. I stumbled upon "I Don't Care" in my Ariana Grande playlist. Avid Ari fans like myself find this tune to be incredibly underrated; not many people have heard the short song from her third studio album, Dangerous Woman, released in the spring of 2016. But this bop was really able to put things in perspective and helped me get out of my irritable, stressed-out mood.

Check out some of the lyrics from the anthem you need to blast the next time you're feeling down:

1. “I used to let some people tell me how to live and what to be, but if I can't be me, then what's the point?”

Giphy

We're constantly being compared to other people and judged by those around us. If you're not careful, these people can begin to negatively impact the way you define yourself. That's why it's important to notice these toxic actions and to distance yourself from them—you should only surround yourself with people who uplift you, encourage you, and make you feel your absolute best.

2. “Used to cry 'bout some crazy shit before”

Have you ever thought about the things that used to worry you and drive you crazy? Self-growth is becoming aware of these things and recognizing that they can no longer affect us. It's when we decide to accept that we can only try our best to work on ourselves and be the best people possible that we can start caring about the things that really matter to us.

3. “Now I laugh about the things that used to be important to me”

Giphy

It's funny when we look back and think about the things that used to stress us out. But, it's by reflecting on these past pressures and stressors that show us that it's not worth getting worked up over things we have limited control over.

4. “I used to feel so obligated to be so much more”

Pressures from others—whether they're loved ones or those we work with—can be very overwhelming. The stress put on ourselves from those around us can weigh us down and cause an incredible amount of tension. It's okay to not be perfect, and it's not the end of the world if we make a mistake, forget to hand in a project, or arrive a little late to work. It's not worth letting these pressures consume you.

5. “I don't care about it anymore”

Giphy

There comes a point in time where we just have to stop caring about the things that stress us out or worry us. Things will work themselves out eventually, whether or not we freak out about it. So, we might as well keep calm and let the chips fall as they may.

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.

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.
