Welcome to another OPOW, your playlist of great discoveries. Some songs will be old. Some songs will be new. Overall, these songs will make your weekends greater. Here are your five songs for this week!

Sia “Alive”


After she swung her “Chandelier” with an “Elastic Heart”, Sia has returned to us “Alive.” Released last year, “Alive” is about going through obstacles but coming back stronger than better. This dance pop song is inspirational for anyone who has or is going through a rough time. If you feel like you are about to give up, stand up and sing “Alive.” It will let everyone know that you’re still here.

Macklamore & Ryan Lewis “White Privilege II (ft. Jamila Woods)”


Uploaded from his official soundcloud, rapper Macklamore releases his single “White Privilege II.” The song talks about how white supremacy affects racial issues from Black Lives Matters to cultural appropriation. What makes this song interesting is Macklamore acknowledges his white privilege and expresses what he wants to change for the better. Songs like “White Privilege II” provide a bigger discussion on race. While “White Privilege II” is not the first song to acknowledge white supremacy, let’s hope it is not the last song tackling this subject.

Beyoncé “Formation”


Should this song have an explanation? From surprising everyone with a beautifully crafted music video to singing a ground-breaking performance at 2016’s Super Bowl, Beyoncé has once again slayed everyone with her single, “Formation.” This song expresses being Black and proud. “Formation” is the song of the moment for its memorable one-liners (“Jackson Five nostrils,” “My daddy Alabama. My mother Louisiana,” the list goes on and on) and an addicting beat. If you rock this song good, Beyoncé might even take you to Red Lobster. Now, let’s get in “Formation.”

Rick Astley “Never Gonna Give You Up”

Infinite “The Chaser”


Released in 2012 from their album Infinitize, Korean boy group Infinite impresses audience with their hit song, “The Chaser.” “The Chaser” is about parting ways with a lover, but the song’s protagonist promises to return to their lover and reclaim their love. The song’s synth sounds and electric pop beats will make you feel like you’re in an epic music video or attempt to learn their choreography (no, seriously. It’s pretty hard.)

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

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.
