3 New Artists You Need To Know
The End in Mind

While I love Taylor Swift and The Weeknd as much as anyone, there's something especially awesome about discovering new music and listening to the latest artists before they blow up and hit super stardom. All three of the following artists are just minutes away from making it big, so make it a point to get to know them soon. You can thank me later.


Troye Sivan

South African-born and Australian-raised, 20-year-old Troye Sivan has an insanely popular YouTube channel, two EPs, and a feature-length album coming in December. His 3.6 million YouTube subscribers and 3 million Twitter followers are more than ready to make him into the next big thing, and he definitely deserves it.

Favorite Song: Ease

Favorite Lyric: My youth is yours/ Trippin' on skies, sippin' waterfalls


Alessia Cara

If you know of Alessia Cara already, it may be from her sleeper hit "Here," or from her guest spot on the final US show of Taylor Swift's 1989 world tour in Tampa. If you don't know about her yet, do yourself a favor and familiarize yourself with her music now, so you have bragging rights when she starts winning Grammys and selling out arena tours.

Favorite Song: Seventeen

Favorite Lyric: Since my friends are here, I just came to kick it/
But really I would rather be at home all by myself


Halsey


Halsey got her start on YouTube, Tumblr and SoundCloud, posting under her real name, Ashley Frangipane. Her debut studio album, Badlands, is not only expertly written, but inspiring, heartbreaking, and catchy all at the same time.

Favorite Song: Colors

Favorite Lyric: You were red, and you liked me because I was blue/ But you touched me, and suddenly I was a lilac sky/ Then you decided purple just wasn't for you


Honorable Mention: MisterWives

While not particularly new, indie band MisterWives is beginning to hit it big across the US. The New York-based band performed at music festival SXSW and recently spent time opening up for Twenty One Pilots.

Favorite Song: Reflections

Favorite Lyric: Into my soul you stared/ And broke down every fear

I highly recommend giving these new artists a shot- if not for anything more than bragging rights when they're famous. The playlist below will give you a good taste of what they have to offer.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
