4 Albums That Are On My Playlist As A College Student

Throughout this pandemic over the last 6 months, I've had a ton of down time. Now that I'm back at school, I'm busier with school work but I still have a fair amount of down time. During that time, I've had the opportunity to listen to a ton of new music, and listen to a few of my favorites on repeat. I use music as a sort of therapeutic thing, it helps to calm me down and "center" me when I'm feeling stressed or anxious.

Here's some songs that have been on repeat for me.

CTV3: Cool Tape Vol. 3 by Jaden

Jaden Smith recently dropped his 4th studio album on Spotify last Friday, and I've been listening to it since. I've been a huge fan of him since he dropped SYRE back in 2017. This album is something totally different for him, and it has such a good vibe about it. All of the songs are more "mellow" and are relaxing as compared to some hardcore rap that appeared on SYRE. Some of my favorie songs on the album are: Circa 2015, Rainbow Bap, LUCY!, and Boys and Girls. Also bonus points for the album cover, it's so beautiful haha.

Euphoria Soundtrack by Labrinth

About 2 weeks ago I decided to watch Euphoria because I've seen so much hype about the show on TikTok, so I decided to watch it. The show was great, but I thought the music was even better. Labrinth really put his all into this album and it shows. All the songs are so different, but they all work together so well. My personal favorites are: Still Don't Know My Name, Nate Growing Up, Forever, All For Us, and Formula.

Harry Styles by Harry Styles

Harry Styles by Harry Styles is such a classic album to me. From the rock tones of Kiwi, Carolina, and Woman to the sad songs such as Sign of the Times, From the Dining Table, and Meet Me in the Hallway, Harry really delivered on his first solo album. It was a totally different tone of what he did in one direction, and this was just the beginning of his very successful solo career. My favorite on here has to be Woman, it's such an empowering anthem for anyone, and my go to shower song.

Swimming by Mac Miller

I was never a big Mac Miller fan until this album came out back in 2018. I feel like Swimming is one of the best rap albums to date, in my opinion. Every single song has such a nice flow to them, and each of them work together beautifully. This is a go to album when me and my friends are hanging out, especially if we're in my friends pool. My personal favorite songs are Ladders, 2009, Self Care, Hurt Feelings, and Small Worlds. Honorary mention of the song The Spins which is on his first album K.I.D.S as another favorite.

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.

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.
