Having your music on shuffle can often be a tossup: you’re either gonna get a steady stream of good tunes that flow nicely from one to the next or a random smattering of songs, none of which you’re in the mood to hear. The latter (for me at least) happens way more often. It’s when my music is on shuffle, however, that I can figure out which songs are at the top of my long list of favorites. Here’s a list of songs that I can never skip over—and that you all should check out if you’re looking for new artists to get into!

1. Blue Boy - Mac Demarco

2. This Guy's In Love With You - Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass

I am very sappy and no matter what mood I'm in, this song is welcome to my ears.

3. Magic Spells - Crystal Castles

4. Walking On a Dream - Empire of the Sun

I heard this one at the Akron Marathon this past Saturday and it got me super pumped to start running (also I was just excited because they played a song I knew and liked)!

5. Gone Beyond - Bobby Birdman

6. Telephone Line - Electric Light Orchestra (ELO)

7. Shiny Things - Fanfarlo

8. Somebody That I Used to Know (feat. Kimbra) - Gotye

This was my (and everybody's) jam during my junior year of high school. I always heard it in art class, so now all I can think of is frantically asking my fellow artists if they knew what it was called. I don't think Shazam was a thing yet!

9. Jackie and Wilson - Hozier

10. One Day (At a Time) - John Lennon

11. Human - The Killers

I distinctly remember my cousin showing me this song around New Years (2008?), right after I'd gotten my purple 4th gen iPod nano for Christmas; I loved it and it was one of the first to be added to my music libary.

12. Everybody Wants to Rule the World - Tears for Fears

13. Cherry Pepsi - SAINT PEPSI

Remember the aesthetics article I wrote where I mentioned vaporwave? This is one of those songs. IT'S VERY CATCHY.

Of course, there's loads more that I'm never able to pass up in shuffle but, alas, it is week 5 and I have many an assignment to tend to. Maybe I'll follow up in the future, so look out for another list of great tunes!

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into.

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.
