Support Your Fellow Females By Giving These 5 Lead Vocalists From Indie Bands A Listen

Looking for something new to listen to? If so, you've come to the right place. These five indie bands are all fronted by women who work hard to make some of what I believe to be the best chill, laid-back music. Listening to these bands, you can picture yourself finally going on that road trip you've been dying to take with one of their songs flowing out of your radio.

1. Soccer Mommy — "Your Dog"

Created in Sophie Allison's bedroom, Soccer Mommy has music that she describes to be "chill but kinda sad." The song "Your Dog" is off her first studio album, titled "Clean." While this may be her first studio album she has music on Bandcamp dating back to 2015 and has been playing guitar since the age of six according to Fader.

2. Kississippi — "Cut Your Teeth"

The band Kississippi was started in 2014 by Zoe Reynolds and Colin Kupson. According to Brooklyn Vegan Reynolds met him on Tinder, although as of 2016 he is no longer a part of the band. Kississippi lists their interests as "hot dogs and anxiety" and the "Lizzy McGuire Movie Soundtrack" as the music they like.

3. Sidney Gish — "Rat Of The City"

Sidney Gish is a band of her own, you can see this for yourself in the video of her performance of her song "Rat of the City." With the help of MIDI instruments and equipment, she can record herself playing a melody, loop it, and add in percussion to build well-rounded songs alone on stage.

4. Snail Mail — "Pristine"

After signing to Matador Records in 2017, Snail Mail has released their first full-length album, titled "Lush." Frontman Lindsey Jordan described "Lush" to have some songs that "are aggressively sad, and others are just…shrug emoji." Although after I listened to the album, I believed that those other songs sound like way more than "just shrug emoji." There is something living inside these songs and you can feel it.

5. Petal — "Magic Gone"

From Scranton, Pennsylvania, the band Petal was created by Kiley Lotz. What makes this band special is that the music Lotz writes is pure emotion, it's more than a melody. This emotion is very upfront in her new album "Magic Gone" which deals with her experiences with mental illness and coming out of the closet as bisexual.

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.
