Should I really be giving this advice? Probably not, maybe, I don't know. I'm probably the last person people would be looking for song recommendations. Which is completely valid! ...But listen to some of these songs, like dang… they're pretty good. And they're not songs that you'd regularly hear on the radio (because let's be honest, aren't we all getting a little bit tired of Shawn Mendes?).

Below is a list of 6 obscure songs that you have probably never listened to… but are great nonetheless. I honestly guarantee you that at least one of these songs is going to make it onto your playlist.

1. Tieduprightnow-- Parcels

This is the first on my list because it's my current favorite song right now...as weird as it sounds. At first, I wasn't really into it but after listening to it a few times in the car, it was pretty catchy. Judge me or thank me for this song rec, I don't care.

2. Goodie Bag-- Still Woozy

Another "obscure" that is as easily catchy as the song above. And still kind of wacky sounding...but it works.

3. Amorfoda-- Bad Bunny

I was honestly so obsessed with this song to the point where I tried to learn it on the piano. If you're familiar with Bad Bunny, this is such a completely different tone than his other songs and just so, I don't know, heartbreaking. The lyrics are so heartfelt and beautiful that you'd have a hard time believing that this song is by Bad Bunny.

4. A Solas-- Karol G

Also in love with her music. It's pop, mixed in with latin vibes but also so different from mainstream music right now. She's one of those up-and-coming Latin artists that will probably make it big in a few years. [Also, her other song, Pineapple is pretty dope too.]

5. Your Mother Was Cheaper-- Two Feet

I've annoyed some people by recommending this song and like screaming whenever I hear it nearby. This is one of my favorite songs from his, but all his songs are honestly so good. 10/10 recommend.

6. Small Foreign Faction-- Haley Blais

I literally only found this song by stumbling upon one of the artist's vlogs on Youtube. And thank god I found it because it is literally so catchy, sweet and nothing like what you would hear on the radio (which is honestly a relief).

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.

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!

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.
