Top 5 Bruno Mars And Weeknd Songs
People.com

Fine, I'll come back. This is entirely for you Mandi.

Instead of doing a Top Ten list for both of these extremly talented artists. I decided to rope them together to rank them. They are more alike than they are different. Both are a breath from the past that this current generation desperately needs. I chose to frame it this way, Bruno is the Prince of this Generation and The Weeknd is the Michael Jackson of this generation. Both go hand in hand. So, let's rank 'em.


TOP 5 The Weeknd Songs.

5. Earned it

This deserved better than Fifty Shades of Grey. It is an Oscar contender and I felt obligated to place it here because of that.


4. The Hills

At first listen, I hated this song. Then something funny happened, it grew on me. I finally understood that The Weeknd was going for an angsty and douchebag look at the world and offer up a critique on it. Much like my number 3 pick.


3. Low Life Featuring Future.

Yeah, this is technically a Future song, but the Weeknd steals it. I don't have a problem with entering the inner dialogue of a low life. There is something so honest about this song that makes it both disturbing and thought-provoking. It makes you feel like you are surrounded by cockroaches when listening to it. That is art.

2. Can't Feel my Face

Both number two and number one are about to cocaine. So, I think it is safe to assume that when The Weeknd sings about cocaine, he is untouchable. This is also him at his most Michael Jackson. It's also a solid dance tune.


1. Star Boy Featuring Daft Punk

Surprise! There should be one true law in music. Daft Punk can do no wrong.


Top 5 Bruno Mars Songs.

Thank God, he stopped doing trash like he did in the early 2010's. We now have the Bruno Mars we have always deserved.

5. Gorilla

Even though, Science has ruined this song effectively. I am a suker for neon slime. You can't find a song covered in more neon slime than this one. I love it.


4. Locked Out Of Heaven

This is the exact opposite of Gorilla in that it's not dirty and slimy. It's a celebration and the truest and most down to earth love song he has ever written. Plus this is the strongest his voice has ever been.

3. Treasure

This song is an absolute treasure. This was when I knew for sure that Bruno Mars was something special.

2. 24k Magic

With how shitty 2016 was, America needed this song. It flashback to a better time. I love this song far more than words can say. It's exactly what music needs to be. Fun and funky. Speaking of funk.

1. Uptown Funk Featuring Mark Ronson.

This is when I knew for sure, Bruno Mars is the new king of Pop. Justin Timberlake gave up the crown when he started music for dads and became lame. Uptown Funk is the best song since the 80's and I have zero problem making that statement.

As college students, we are all familiar with the horror show that is course registration week. Whether you are an incoming freshman or selecting classes for your last semester, I am certain that you can relate to how traumatic this can be.

1. When course schedules are released and you have a conflict between two required classes.

Bonus points if it is more than two.

Here's a personal archive of a few of the things I learned after going away for the first time.

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

As an English Major in college, I have a lot of writing and especially creative writing pieces that I work on throughout the semester and sometimes, I'll find it hard to get the motivation to type a few pages and the thought process that goes behind it. These are eleven thoughts that I have as a writer while writing my stories.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
