20 Songs Guaranteed To Bring Out Your Inner Emo Kid
Ryan Marincic

In part of middle school and most of high school, I was a closeted emo kid. I loved listening to songs filled with teen angst and a heavy guitar line that also happen to put me in a great mood. The friends that I had in school were more so obsessed with mainstream music such as One Direction and Drake so they always thought I was just a bit odd for liking such a different sound than they were used to.

For those of you who are unfamiliar with the term "emo", allow me to enlighten you. Wikipedia defines emo as, "A rock music genre characterized by an emphasis on emotional expression, sometimes through confessional lyrics." The term is also used to describe a subculture that was made by the fans of the bands that played this genre. There is a certain style of clothing, hairstyle, and slang terms that started to trend within the community.

With news about the last ever Vans Warped Tour, a traveling music festival revolving around this genre, and conversation had with some friends, I decided to take it upon myself to craft the best emo kid playlist. I hope that this triggers some nostalgic memories and puts a smile on your face. Enjoy!

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

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.
