OPOW: Odyssey at SOU Playlist of the Week 14-16 (Early Summer Edition)
Officially K Music

Welcome back to another OPOW, the playlist for students at SOU! This week's OPOW will focus on songs that have a summer feel before beginning of Summer. Some songs are old. Some songs are new. Overall, this playlist will brighten your break from finals. Here are this week's five songs!

K. Will "Bon Voyage (ft. Beenzino)”


Off from his 2013 album, Love Blossom, Korean singer K. Will croons with his song "Bon Voyage." "Bon Voyage" is about spending a sunny vacation with your lover. With the help of Korean rapper Beenzino, K.Will delivers a soothing and romantic song about spending time with someone you love.

The 1975 “The Sound”


From their sophomore album I like it when you sleep, for you are so beautiful yet so unaware of it, pop alternative band The 1975 returns with their third song "The Sound." "The Sound" is about the frontman Matty Healy falling for a girl and wanting to hear the sound of her heart beat. However, in reality, it is difficult to hear someone's heart and know their true self. This upbeat song gives a "pop" confidence, as Matt Healy described it during a BBC Radio1 interview. So if you want to "pop" your confidence, dance along to The 1975's "The Sound."

Halsey “Colors”


From her critically acclaimed album Badlands, singer Halsey graces YouTube and music scene again with her new song "Colors." "Colors" is about falling out of love with a lover and submerging from the color blue. This medium-slow song can be emotional when the lyrics point out the lover's addiction to pills. If you haven't been listening to Halsey, listen to "Colors" and be mesmerized by the color blue.

Aaliyah "I Don't Wanna"


From 1999 Next Friday soundtrack, R&B singer Aaliyah serenades her listeners with "I Don't Wanna." "I Don't Wanna" is a love song about missing a lover who left the relationship. Despite many arguments, she wants to be with him again. This seductive slow jam lights up the room, especially when you're with your lover.

Ariana Grande "Be Alright"


Featured in her upcoming album Dangerous Woman, Ariana Grande returns with her new song "Be Alright." Her latest single is about how even though she and her lover fight, she lets him know that everything is going to be alright as long as they stick together. This medium-upbeat song can lift you up and make you feel like you can do anything. "Be Alright" can easily be your next favorite song. I guarantee that. If you want to get this song, you can pre-order the single on iTunes. If you want the album, you can pre-order it as well until it releases on May 20.

Bonus Track:

f(x) "Hot Summer" (requested by Kevin of Facebook)


From their 2011 deluxe album Hot Summer, Korean girl group f(x) welcomes summer early with their song "Hot Summer." If you want to bring summer early, blast this song and dance like f(x).

Special thanks to Kevin of Facebook!

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.
