Lately, a lot of music has been released and have hit the charts. But there are three very important songs that have been released that have big messages and meanings with them. These are the three incredibly strong and important songs that everyone needs to listen to and play.

1. This Is America - Childish Gambino


By now I'm sure everyone has either heard this song or listened to it. The video itself is very surreal and packed full of messages. This is a very powerful video and song as it tackles police brutality, gun violence, media misdirection, and the use of African Americans as a brand shield. In the video itself, murders happen but yet the guns are treated more delicately than the human lives. This is a strong statement given the current debate over gun control. As well as the dancing distracting from what is going on in the background being a huge issue in our world today. Although memes are being created over some of the parts of the music video, it is still a very strong and important song/video.


2. Youth - Shawn Mendes ft. Khalid


The message of this song is simple but VERY effective. The words are right there in plain sight. It speaks on how all of these things are happening in the world and all of these attacks that are taking from us all. The heartbreaking lyrics, "You can't take my youth away/This soul of mine will never break/As long as I wake up today/You can't take my youth away," show a plea to stand strong in the face of hopelessness and violence. It could not be MORE relevant in our world than right now.


3. Fall In Line - Christina Aguilera ft. Demi Lovato


This song is the definition of a feminist-themed empowerment anthem. The song is filled with fiery lyrics about refusing to be told what to do. In the video, the ladies are captives of an oppressive, male-dominated prison facility. And finally, when enough has been enough, the two fight their way out in order to finally make it above ground and to freedom. This song gives so much strength and importance to women being held down or silenced. As Christina tweeted, "To anyone who’s ever felt silenced and repressed, the truth seekers and bold thinkers… may you liberate your voice and break the mold, never back down, and never fall in line."

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.

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.
