Panic! At the Disco fans rejoice: the Las Vegas originating pop-rock outfit have just released their first official single "Say Amen (Saturday Night)" from the band's sixth studio album "Pray For the Wicked".

The only, and remaining member of the band, Brendon Urie, posted a statement on the band's official Facebook page, welcoming in the new "era" of music. Announcing, not just the new single and accompanying music video, but a (fastly approaching) North America and Canadian tour as well!

But the main star of the announcement was obviously the new song: "Say Amen (Saturday Night)". With electronic samples and sharp percussion leading Urie's crooning verses and a triumphant horn-backed chorus, the song will be a certified banger among the band's growing fandom.

The music video for the single, on the other hand, is less suave and more sinister... but in the best way! The video depicts Urie as "a James Bond villain" who has stolen an ancient artifact and is being cornered in his house by ninjas. What follows is a three-minute bloodbath as the black-suit front man executes an army of henchmen in over the top, gory, and satisfying ways. From ceiling fans to exploding microwaves and an actual stick of dynamite, this music video may just be Panic!'s most action-packed and elaborate song to date!

The lyrics of the song see Urie reflecting on his current life situation, potentially alluding to himself continuing to be the only remaining member of the band: "Been traveling in packs that I can't carry anymore / Waiting for somebody else to carry me." The verses are decently written, not too much imagery going on.

But the chorus. Oh, sweet Lord, the chorus.

Backed by loud, boisterous, beautifully mixed horns, and melodic background vocals, Urie's voice soars and sails over the track. Showing off his incredible range as a singer. The final chorus also shows some more improvised vocals, finishing with a high A to B note, just in case the rest of the track hadn't blown your mind already.

Along with the new single and music video, Panic! also released another song of the album: "(F*** a) Silver Lining". A 70's roller rink-sounding throwback, again backed by a groovy horn section. While the melody and chorus are certified to get stuck in your head, the track does leave a lot to be desired, as half of it is the title repeated a couple of dozen times. Though, with the assured throwback aesthetic and appeal, it will most definitely satisfy any hardcore Panic! fans.

"Pray For the Wicked" will be released June 22. Tickets to their upcoming summer tour go on pre-sale March 30 at 10:30 AM local time. Until then... #prayforthewicked

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.
