Top Ten Songs From This Week Ten Years Ago

Akon, Beyonce, Fergie, and Justin Timberlake were some of the big names dropped frequently 10 years ago this month. The 2000s music scene was dominated by autotune and electrical instruments and internet platforms such as iTunes and YouTube were on the rise. Today, many of the big name artists from 10 years ago are still on our radar, but with some new faces like Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, Nicki Minaj, and The Weeknd. 2007 provides a great example of music trends from the 2000s and while this decade isn't over yet, the popular music today shows styles from the early half of the decade as well as some up-and-coming fads. Here's a side to side (allusion to Ariana Grande intended) look at the top 10 songs on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart from this week in 2007 and 2017.

1. Irreplaceable, Beyonce (2007) and Black Beatles, Rae Sremmurd featuring Gucci Mane (2017)

2. I Wanna Love You, Akon featuring Snoop Dogg (2007) and Bad And Boujee, Migos featuring Lil Uzi Vert (2017)

3. Fergalicious, Fergie (2007) and Starboy, The Weeknd featuring Daft Punk (2017)

4. Smack That, Akon featuring Eminem (2007) and Closer, The Chainsmokers featuring Halsey (2017)

5. Say It Right, Nelly Furtado (2007) and 24K Magic, Bruno Mars (2017)

6. My Love, Justin Timberlake featuring T.I. (2007) and Juju On That Beat, Zay Hilfigerrr & Zayion McCall (2017)

7. How To Save A Life, The Fray (2007) and Side To Side, Ariana Grande featuring Nicki Minaj (2017)

8. We Fly High, Jim Jones (2007) and Let Me Love Yo, DJ Snake featuring Justin Bieber (2017)

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.
