5 Artists You Need To Listen To Right Now
These artists are gonna be big one day, trust me..
25 October
2609
Get ahead of the curb now with these artists!
1. OCTAVIO The Dweeb
His entire persona is this really goofy and upbeat person. His music is a unique mixture of chill rap, alt-pop, and bedroom pop. On top of that, his youthful nature is portrayed so exuberantly through social media. He showcases such vulnerability and relatability through his music and personality. Overall, he's definitely an artist to have on your radar.
2. HANKNATIVE
It's insane to me that he only has about 2,00 monthly listeners on Spotify. HANKNATIVE creates what I would consider experimental rap, a sound only comparable as if $not, Amine, and Isaiah Rashad had a musical baby. He has a sound that would really thrive in today's music scene and I think he is extremely underrated. Definitely give them a listen!
3. FTBK
Speaking of underrated, FTBK, standing for Fred The Black Kid, is highly underrated. His lyrics and flow are so smooth and sounds like he's already an established artist. He could easily compete with rappers today. While his music discusses girls and drugs, he also uses his platform to advocate for human rights movements like BLM. If you like rap, there is something for everyone with his work.
4. New Rules
This funky fresh group focuses on really catchy indie-pop songs. Considering their vibe is comparable to COIN or Why Don't We, I'm really shocked they aren't more popular. However, I definitely think they are on that track so I suggest you hop on the train now while they're still lesser-known. Their sound is really desirable so I can imagine it's only a matter of time before they blow up.
5. Kate Stephenson
This singer-songwriter is extremely talented. Kate Stephenson's voice is delicate and aids in delivering her music in such a beautiful and heartfelt way. Her music is relatable and makes you want to listen to what she has to say. She also has an amazing way with words and I'm excited to see her grow as an artist!

It's easy to take work home at the end of the day, however much you might not want to. Jobs can be stressful, and it's all too easy to let the stresses of work sneak into your relaxing time. There are lots of reasons this is easy to do, but there are several ways you can reduce stress from work, increasing your overall levels of happiness.
Come Up with an After-Work Routine
You might find it is easier to relax after the day is over if you have a routine to follow after your workday. It helps you learn to relax your mind and let go of the stresses of the day. You might try deep breathing exercises and telling yourself that you are leaving work behind, both mentally and physically. Try to do something enjoyable after the day is over. For example, if you enjoy vaping, take some time to do that.
If you don't have a good vaporizer, you might consider purchasing the Volcano Hybrid vaporizer, either for yourself or the person who appreciates quality at every corner. The Volcano Hybrid vaporizer has several fun features, including the latest Bluetooth controls. No matter what you enjoy, spend a bit of time mentally going over the things you are looking forward to doing after work. You might text a friend and just focus more on your life. Do some experimentation to figure out what best suits you.
Take Care of Loose Ends
Before leaving work for the day, take a bit of time to tie up any loose ends for the day so you don't need to think about them later on. You can also take some time at the end of this day to create a to-do list for the next work day so you don't have to spend time thinking about that when you are done. The next day, you will be able to come in and feel more focused on the tasks at hand. This is a good, actionable approach to cope with stress and anxiety because it acts to prevent it.
If you feel stressed about various issues upon returning home, you might choose to come up with a list of solutions to these issues, before leaving the office. If you find yourself returning to these issues later, you can take time to remind yourself that you have gone over these things as much as possible, and you now need to spend a bit of time sleeping on them. When you get to the office again, you might find things are a lot clearer.
Enjoy the Time to Get Home
Traveling home from work might feel stressful if you think about the difficult parts of the day. If you drive home, it's easy to let the traffic annoy you more. However, if you plan right, you can turn the commute into an enjoyable time, so you can look forward to it instead of seeing it as an obstacle that needs to be overcome. You could listen to some music you love or an audiobook. You might pick a fiction book you enjoy or find nonfiction if you want to learn something.

Ten Duo Halloween Costume Ideas
Whether it be with your boyfriend/girlfriend or best friend, coming up with a group costume can be hard.
22 October
17452
allthingssupplychain.org
Let's face it. We've all, at one point or another, have struggled with finding a perfect group costume. I've come up with 10 duo costume ideas for halloween this year.
1. Angel and devil. This one is pretty basic. You may see this one everywhere on your Instagram feed when you're scrolling through your feed the day after halloween. But it's super cute.
2. Cowboy fairies. Spoiler alert: my my roommate and I are going as this for halloween this year. This one is super cute and honestly less basic than the angel and devil one. Plus, you can dress your cat/dog up as one too. (If you shop on Amazon).
3. Frat boys. If your girls, this would look perfect. All you and your best friend have to do is get Lululemon guy shorts, a white tank-top and some flip flops and a visor and flip it backwards and refuse to wear a mask inside. And boom, you guys are frat boys.
4. The white t-shirt trend. I know this one was last years thing, but it would be cute. Grab a plain white short sleeve t-shirt and write something with a permanent marker that's the opposite of what you are. So, for example, mine would say something along these lines: "I don't use VSCO to edit all of my pictures." Which is a lie because it's the only app I use to edit my photos.
5. Switch outfits. This one would only work if it's a boy and girl friendship. Or if you have a boyfriend or girlfriend. It's exactly what it sounds like. You switch outfits. The boy puts the girl's outfit on. And the girl puts the boys outfit on. Simple as that. And even better, you don't have to spend money on buying a costume that you'd only wear once.
6. A black and white angel. This one kinda goes with the angel and devil one. But one is black. Get black angel wings, a black dress, black shoes, spray paint a halo black. Cute and easy to do.
7. Cops. I've seen this one all over TikTok recently. This one is super cute. I would have gone as this with Halle this year. But, I already have my cowboy fairy outfit picked out. But you can definitely go as this for halloween. Halle and I are doing this next year.
8. Pick me girl and pick me boy. Pick me girl and boys are still trending even though, they came up a long time ago. It would be really funny to see someone do this idea.
9. Vampires. If you're a girl and boy duo, you could go as Dracula and a girl vampire. But this one is super basic, too. To be honest, I'm gonna force my boyfriend to do this one with me.
10. Butterflies. Butterflies as super cute and super cheap and easy to put together a costume. Plus, you could draw some wings as you're eyeliner in different colored eyeliner. This one is a great duo costume halloween idea.
Regardless, of what you choose to go as for halloween this year, remember to be safe and have fun. Enjoy it while it lasts.

Leaving My Backpack In The Library
Views about society and the stranger sitting right across from me
14 October

As a college student, my backpack is an extension of myself in many ways. It contains my notes, pens, and computer vital for my success in college. It contains the snacks and water bottle I need to survive long days on campus. It also contains the "in-case" items that help put my mind at rest if I forgot something from home: extra hair ties, masks, and that backup-backup snack. With so much in my backpack important to me and my life on campus, it is no wonder that I can get apprehensive about it when it is not with me or in my line of sight. And that makes me wonder.
I can be a little cynical of society. It is not so much that I distrust anyone in particular, but I realize that a lot of trouble and hassle can come from one person who just doesn't care about others. It is not that I think that everyone is going to steal my backpack or its contents, but one person sure could. I did not think about it too much until I found myself leaving my things in the university library while going to the restroom last week. I hurried along so that I could get back to my things, but in the process, I realized that perhaps I was not as distrustful as I thought I was.
Admittedly, one of the reasons I left my things and backpack at a table while using the restroom instead of taking it all with me was laziness. I did not want to have to put everything in my backpack, lug it all to the restroom, only to have to set everything back up a few minutes later. Yet, I found another reason to leave my things behind: the stranger across the table from me. I never said a word to the man. I don't even think we made eye contact. However, I had been sitting across him for over an hour, so in some strange way, I trusted him. When I got back and everything was just as I left it, I mentally approved of the man who had "watched" my things. Again, I never said anything to him.
I realized later that this strange relationship was reciprocal. When the man left his things on the table later that afternoon to leave the room, I mentally charged myself with the duty to make sure his things were safe. It was almost as if I was saying, "Don't worry, sir. You watched my stuff; I will watch your stuff." Obviously, I have no idea what the man thought of the situation, but I found myself bound to a relationship of trust that was built on almost nothing but the fact that we had been in each other's presence for long enough.
The whole thing puzzles me. Even the thought of "long enough" puzzles me. Would I have trusted the stranger if I had only sat at the same table as him for half an hour? Would I be more inclined to leave my backpack for longer if we had sat in each other's presence for longer? I don't know. Maybe one day a psychologist or sociologist will answer my questions. In the meantime, I am bewildered by the general distrust I have of society, and yet the unusual trust I have of a stranger.
