It's only been a few days into 2017 and Snakehips and have already dropped new music. The collaboration between the British electronic duo and Danish singer "Don't Leave" was just released on January 6th and accompanied by a lyric video featuring a moody MØ walking through a tunnel.

Snakehips first released their debut single "Days With You" with Sinead Harnett back in 2014 and gained prominence for their tracks which meshed future beats with R&B influences. Some remixes which showcase their signature sound include "Raury - Cigarette Song", "Banks - Warm Water", "Bondax - Gold" and Kehlani - Til The Morning.

In 2015, they began crossing over into mainstream pop with the release of "All My Friends" which featured Tinashe and Chance the Rapper and continued to gain popularity in 2016, when All My Friends EP and "Cruel" with Zayn was released.

Co-writer and vocalist for "Lean On," MØ has worked extensively with various electronic artists such as Diplo on "XXX 88" and "Kamikaze," Avicii on "Dear Boy," Elliphant on "'One More'"and Major Lazer on "Cold Water" and "Lost. Her second studio album is anticipated to be released later this year.

"Don't Leave" marks a tonal shift from MØ's upbeat, quirky, electropop releases from 2016 like "Drum," "Final Song" and "Kamikaze." Clad with R&B/Pop-infused beats, the song depicts a heartbreak that MØ's powerful vocals only deliver in a way that's too real. MØ shines as the star of "Don't Leave" and the entire track centers around her gut-wrenching vocals. On the other hand, Snakehips' sound and individuality are lost within a generic production. Whether they can transition to mainstream without compromising their style is still a question. However, "Don't Leave" deserves recognition for its toxic addictiveness and will undeniably hype listeners up for MØ's next move.

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.
