“Hello my friend, I see you’re back again”

Mike Snow; the only artist that I will listen to in the shower. Based in Sweden, this band has been on of my go-to's since 2010, three years after they were founded. This indie, electro-pop group has worked with celebrities such as Britney Spears, producing “Toxic.”

According to Pandora Radio, some of the similar artists are: M83, Empire of the Sun, Two Door Cinema Club, Phoenix, The Xx, MGMT, Passion Pit and STRFKR.

So, here listen to these:

1. Animal

This was the first track that I heard from them and it reminds me of my brothers old mix CD’s he would play on the way home from high school. This song pretty much sums up my high school life with the quote, “I change shapes just to hide in this place but I’m still, I’m still an animal.”

2. Padding Out

I like the beat of this song. It's strong and as a dancer, strong beats are what I like best. This music video is pretty awesome too; it has “aliens” that dress up like they’re in colonial times. Who doesnt love a big powdered wig and big ruffly shirts? I’m not going to spoil the rest of the music video, but while writing this I did end up watching it about 5 times.

3. The Wave

This song gets stuck in my head a lot. Like a lot, a lot. The simplicity of the electronic piano and the drums in the background make this song super calming. With not many words and a simple beat I’m sure that this song will get suck in your head as well. By the way, this music video continues the story from Paddling Out’s video.

4. Burial

This soft and mellow song doesn’t match the title at all. This song has one of my favorite quotes by them; “Sympathy is overrated, like a snapshot when you lost the game.”

5. Black and Blue

The quote from the top of this is from this song. "Hello my friend, I see you're back again." This song has a neat music video and this has been my favorite songs of theirs for a while. With lyrics like, “The dog is always barking at the mailman,” you simply cannot dislike this song.

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.
