A Shout Out To Spotify's "Discover Weekly"
Abrie Richison

If you know me at all, you know I am constantly and actively searching for new music. I am the type of person that needs new music on a weekly basis to avoid getting stuck in a musical rut. Spotify, with their “Discover Weekly” playlist, has not only been my saving grace but has completely figured out my taste in music. Every week I look forward to my “Discover Weekly” playlist because I know I am guaranteed new music that I will fall in love with.

Anything from ABRA’s “Roses” to Frank Ocean’s “Pink + White” Spotify has provided. Spotify offers ample opportunities for us to be active music absorbers. They give us an abundance of new ways to find music, making it more accessible than ever before.

They offer other playlists as well, like “Daily Mix”, which groups together like-minded artists and songs to present listeners with an array of vibes at the click of a button (or in the world of Apple products, the touch of a screen). With today’s technology and the consistent release of new music, Spotify gives listeners a platform to, not only absorb music but actively seek it out as well. Spotify, as well as other musical platforms, makes for a unique and personalized listening experience.

We human beings are lazy. If you refer to one of my latest articles, I am so lazy that I often Uber distances of 6 blocks. Spotify lets us be lazy, even welcomes our laziness, by giving us multiple predetermined playlists that are easily accessible. I figured it was about time to let Spotify know the impact that it has on my life. So, thank you Spotify. Thank you for exposing me to new material, thank you for letting my music intake be personalized and thank you for not making me do the work.

If you need me, I will be drowning myself in the tunes of Lewis Watson, a new artist handed to me via my “Discover Weekly”. And if you need me tomorrow, I will be finding the next new artist to obsess over. I advise you to do the same.

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.
