Smallpools

What's better than a small pool?

One of my favorite bands that I've met. Smallpools (ig: @smallpools) was created in 2013. This four piece indie band consists of Sean Scanlon who is the lead vocalist and plays piano/keyboard for the band (@seaneats), Mike Kamerman who plays the guitar (@michaelkamerman), Joe Intile who plays the bass guitar (@josephintile) and Beau Kuther who plays the drums (@beauknowsdrums). Sadly they only have a single out, but I expect more to come out soon.

Pandora Radio says that the similar artists are: The Colourist, Magic Man, Two Door Cinema Club, Walk The Moon, Børns, St. Lucia, The 1975, and Passion Pit.

Here are my top five (even though I love them all):

1. Dreaming

This was the first song that ever heard from them. It just so happens that this is their most popular song. Its great. You probably have heard it before. The music video is also worth checking out.

2. Mason Jar

This song is fun to sing along to. The repetitive chorus makes it a great windows down- extra loud song to sing at the top of your lungs. Trust me, it has been done before.

3. Over & Over

Such a great song for all those summer nights you don’t want to end quite yet. ”I wanna live this night over and over.”

4. No Story Time

I can’t find the words to describe this song. It’s amazing, just like all the other songs. Just listen.

5. Killer Whales

I think I like this one because I like whales. I know it’s weird and not a legitimate excuse to like a song, but that’s why I like it, even though it has nothing to do with whales. (It’s also really REALLY good.)

They also have some really cool remixes out. This one’s Dreaming remixed by Magic Man:

I got to meet this super amazing band. They were the opening band for Neon Trees (which was amazing) but I was more excited to see Smallpools. After the concert, they (mostly Sean) spent about an hour talking to me and my friends. They’re the best.

Joe and the Katie Sandwich (can you tell we were excited?)

Mike

Beau

And Sean

He didn't believe I could pick him up, so I did. (Yes, he is on my back.)

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Student Life

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
