Spotify Discovery Led Me Back To Mateo Arias, And To My Childhood As Well

One artist that I discovered on my Spotify Discovery and I have been listening to lately is an upcoming artist that goes by the name ¿Teo? but his actual name is Mateo Arias. Mateo Arias's name probably sounds familiar because he played a role in Kickin It, known as Jerry. His work is mostly focused on acting but recently he's released music, specifically rap songs with incorporated singing vocals. His most popular single is a collaboration with Jaden Smith named "Uno Dos." He even came out with an album that he named after himself, "¿Teo?" in 2018.

Recently I have been listening to one of his songs that's not that well known but in my opinion, it's his best one yet. It is called "Selfless-ish" and has 3.6 million views on YouTube. The song is about his life and the deepest cores of his feelings. He talks about his fears and getting hurt after losing his love which is something that he is not prepared for. The song displays his awareness of the pain and how selfish he can be in a relationship.

I interpret this song in a way where he is saying how he shouldn't be left in the past of his lover's life as it makes him insecure, heartbroken and full of open wounds. Another one of my favorite songs by him is "Americano." It's basically a song that talks about his culture and background of being an American Colombian. I can relate to this song because I know how tough it is being an American that is still trying to keep in touch with her culture.

I would definitely recommend giving him a listen. His music is surprisingly great and I genuinely believe he has a chance at getting big. Who would've thought my Spotify Discovery would lead me back to someone from my childhood?

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

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.

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
