Every year, musicians and bands release albums upon albums. It’s exciting to hear new music but with so much being released, it’s easy for a lot of it to go under your radar. So here are 10 songs that were released in 2015 that you should give a chance in 2016 if you haven’t already:

1. Sufjan Stevens: "Should Have Know Better"

Sufjan Stevens is an independent artist worth knowing about. He released possibly his best album ever in 2015 and it is all about his mother and stepfather. This song is a beautiful and vulnerable story about those relationships.

Listen to it here:

2. Disclosure featuring Lorde: "Magnets"

You’ve might have heard Disclosure’s single Omen featuring Sam Smith, which is great in it’s own right. In 2015 though, they brought Lorde back into the music scene while we all wait for her sophomore album with their song "Magnets." The song tells a risqué story and is very catchy.

Listen to it here:

3. Halsey: "Hold Me Down"

Halsey took the music industry by storm with her song "New Americana." "Hold Me Down" is another song from her debut album. She’s been compared to the band CHVRCHES and Lorde and this song shows that comparison in it’s perfect mixture of electronic sounds and her dark personal sound.

Listen to it here:

4. Atlas Genius: "Molecules"

If you’re looking for a new upbeat fun song, here it is. This is just one of those songs that only took half a listen and then I was hooked and playing it over and over again.

Listen to it here:

5. Ryn Weaver: "OctaHate"

Ryn Weaver is different and fun when it comes to her sound. She released her debut album this year and this is one of my favorite singles from it. If you’re looking for a break up song or a fun song, here is one for you. Or if you’re looking for a new and different artist, give Ryn a listen.

Listen to it here:

6. Panic! At The Disco: "Death Of A Bachelor"

Channeling the late Frank Sinatra, Brendan Urie is able to combine Panic!’s style with the style of music from the era of Sinatra to really show of the talent that is Urie’s voice and vocal range. Even if you aren’t a Panic! fan, you should give this song a listen.

Listen to it here:

7. Jarryd James: "Do Your Remember"

A breakup song to rival all break up songs. Jarryd James has yet to release an album in the United States, but he has released an EP and this is one of the songs from it. It’s one of the most relatable songs I have ever heard and one that just shows talent.

Listen to it here:

8. The Arcs: "Out of My Mind"

Dan Auerbach from The Black Keys has started a new side project and it’s called The Arcs. Personally, I’m a big fan of Auerbach and The Black Keys but side projects make me nervous. Side projects can be very hit or miss but The Arcs do not disappointment. "Out of My Mind" is the first single from their debut album.

Listen to it here:

9. Coin: "Run"

Newcomers to the music scene from Nashville, Tennessee, Coin will not disappoint. Their debut album came out in 2015 and with it "Run." It’s upbeat song, as is the whole album. Give Coin a listen and start with Run, maybe one day you can say you were listening to them before everyone else.

Listen to it here:

10. Allen Stone: "Freedom"

Allen Stone disappeared for awhile, for those who noticed him from his debut album. He came back with his sophomore album with this powerhouse hit. He got some circulation on the radio with this song, but possibly not as much as it deserves. Allen Stone has a retro feel to his music and it helps mix of the variety of the music scene.

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.

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.
