Live Plasma: A New Way Of Discovering Music

Have you ever wanted to find new music to listen to that’s similar to music by artists you already like? Sure, YouTube has a “You Might Like” section on its homepage as well as a “Related Videos” column, but I’ve found that these are never guaranteed to suggest music that I actually end up liking. The other day, however, I just so happened to stumble upon a website I’ve never even heard of before called Live Plasma.

This site prompts you to type in the name of an artist or band. Once you press enter, a web of different artists and bands will pop up surrounding the one you typed in. To listen to an artist, you can hover over the bubble and select either “only” or “similar.” “Only” will cause songs only by that artist to play in the sidebar, whereas “similar” will create a playlist of songs from artists with a similar music style. In addition, clicking on an individual bubble will make a new set of bubbles appear around it, some of which were there previously and some that are new. You can shuffle through different segments of the web to your heart's content or simply check out songs by one or two artists. I find this website to be an amazing way to browse music that you might be interested in, and it’s fun just to see the variety of different artists that pop up in the web.

Another great aspect of this website is the fact that it loads quickly; you don't have to deal with buffering or even ads. Sadly, there is not yet an app for it, but personally I've found that Live Plasma provides suggestions that fit better with my tastes than, say, Pandora.

In addition to music suggestions, Live Plasma’s homepage also has tabs for books and movies. I haven’t tried either of these functions out, but if it’s something you’d be interested in, I’d encourage you to check it out! Whether you're a fan of classic rock, heavy metal, country, indie, or techno, you're bound to find some new music that you end up loving. Likewise, if you're an avid reader or movie watcher, this website is a great way for you to discover new books and films!

Whether you're commuting or dorming, your first year of college is a huge adjustment. The transition from living with parents to being on my own was an experience I couldn't have even imagined- both a good and a bad thing. Here's a personal archive of a few of the things I learned after going away for the first time.

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

As an English Major in college, I have a lot of writing and especially creative writing pieces that I work on throughout the semester and sometimes, I'll find it hard to get the motivation to type a few pages and the thought process that goes behind it. These are eleven thoughts that I have as a writer while writing my stories.

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.

For many undergraduates across the nation, the home stretch has begun. Only one more semester remains in our undergraduate career. Oh, the places we will go! For the majority of college seniors, this is simultaneously the best and worst year out of the past four and here’s why.

1. The classes you are taking are actually difficult.

A schedule full of easy pottery throwing and film courses is merely a myth on the average campus. With all of those prerequisites for the upper-level courses and the never-ending battle you fight each year during registration for limited class seats, senior year brings with it the ability to register for the final courses you need to fulfill your major. Yet, these are not the easy entry level courses. These are the comprehensive, end of major, capstone courses designed to apply the knowledge from all your previous courses, usually in the form of an extensive research paper or engaged learning project. The upside is you actually probably really enjoy these classes but alas there is no room for slackers here.
