One11Twenty's Sophomore EP, 'Better Days' Is Sure To Make Your Day Better

In today's world people are always looking for something to make their day better. Whether that be eating an entire pint of Ben and Jerry's ice cream, hanging out with friends, or finding great new music, it's the little things that seem to make someone's day. One11Twenty's sophomore EP, Better Days, is sure to do just that.

Led by Kyle Delfatti and Tim Jordan, the two have coined their own genre of lyric pop: a genre unique to them that highlights the use of cleverly poetic lyrics, while evoking a sound somewhere between Americana and hip-hop. The band's explanation is that, "Often production can overshadow the lyrics, but we didn't want our lyricism to be lost within the overall sound". One11Twenty derives their name from their previous band's dissolve. The first band had a total of $556 and when they broke up, each of the five numbers were left with $111.20 respectively.

After the success of their debut EP, Last 10 Seconds, that has gained over one million streams collectively, they have decided to start a new chapter. The new EP begins with "Ellendale", a track about following your dreams all the way down to LA. The song is named after a street in the USC area, where the band coincidentally played their EP release show.

Before the release of the EP, "Better Days" and "Famous Kids" were released as singles. The title track is a modern day love song about falling for someone, who you're not yet with, knowing that in time their will be better days. "Famous Kids" deals with having a type of confidence that makes you feel like you could take on anything, no matter what life throws at you.

In their production the band uses analog gear to give their music a more retro sound. According to the band, "When creating Better Days we used analog gear, which isn't used as often anymore. But we wanted to use this to give the project an 80's vibe, while having a modern sound". This is a perfect explanation of the overall vibe of the EP. It's the type of music that you could blast in the car while driving down the highway or dance around to with your friend in a cramped apartment.

Big things are ahead for One11Twenty and I look forward to seeing what they have up their sleeves next. But for now Better Days is available across all streaming platforms for your listening pleasure.

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.
