5 Of My Favorite Acoustic Renditions

1. "Can I Be Him" by James Arthur

"Can I Be Him" was an extremely emotional song to begin with, but this version took it to the next level. Being able to hear his raw voice really emphasized how vulnerable this song is. I think he is such an emotionally raw artist and you can hear that within his lyrics. He longs to be the one that this person is singing about and I think that is such a relatable feeling.

2. "Beg" By Jack and Jack ft. Olivia O'Brien

I think an acoustic rap song is just really cool. I feel like it's not very common. Even though acoustic usually means slowing down, they kept the upbeat feel of the original version but with just a guitar. Olivia O'Brien in this just adds that extra amount of lightheartedness that completes the song.

3. "Freakin' Out On The Interstate" by Briston Maroney

This song is the song that you scream when you're in your head on a late-night drive. Without the original instruments, you can connect with this song on an even deeper level. The acoustic sound so airy that it does in fact feel like he's on an empty interstate.

4. "Dishes" by Lauv

He has a really soothing voice and with the lack of heavy instruments, you can really hear it in this song. His unique style of singing isn't based on sounding perfect, or unflawed, it's based on sounding genuine and real. Between his voice cracks and the lyrics and meaning of the song, you really feel what he's trying to convey.

5. "Like That" by GRACEY ft. Alexander23

I love both of their voices, so this song was a dream come true. It's a fun light-hearted song that remains upbeat even without the other instrumentals added.

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.
