Meet Your Favorite Glam-Rock Band Of This Generation

Lead vocalist Luke Spiller, guitarist Adam Slack, bassist Jed Elliott, and drummer Gethin Davies make up:

If you don't recognize their name, it's probably because they're only getting big in the United States as of recently. However, The Struts have been sweeping the UK and neighboring countries by storm since 2014. And you may have seen them perform on Jimmy Kimmel this past August or heard their hit single; "Could Have Been Me" that reached top 5 on the U.S. alternative and active rock charts.

So what's the big deal?

In short, their look, attitude, and, most importantly, their sound is undeniably classic.

It's like this band took a time machine ride to the 21st century and graced us with their 70s rock sound. They've been compared to the likes of Queen and The Rolling Stones. And even lead vocalist of The Struts, Luke Spiller, has been called the musical love child of Freddie Mercury and Mick Jagger: two legends in rock music.

It's also important to note these comparisons to old rock and love child talk is not to belittle The Struts' music or success, but instead, to validate it. In fact, The Struts opened two years ago for The Rolling Stones in front of about 75,000 people in Paris and have been gaining a following ever since. So they aren't just any wannabe rock band with stylish clothes and spunk; they have raw talent and put out anthemic music that the world is finding difficult not to fall in love with.

The Struts truly hold their own and do rock music justice. They just released their debut album, "Everybody Wants," in March and aretouring the U.S. this spring and through the summer. So give them a listen and definitely keep an eye on this band. They may be just beginning, but they're confidently earning their spot as the favorite glam-rock band of this generation.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
