A Playlist For Warm Weather
Isla Pearl

March is the beginning of warmer weather and a new season. Spring means new flowers, more colors, sunny skies, and spring in California means beach days are back. Here's a list of 10 songs that you may or may not have heard of for your next trip to the beach, lounging in the sun, or just getting ready for the day.

1. Kidnap Me by CRUISR

CRUISR is an indie-pop band based in Philadelphia, and this song will remind of you of good times. The upbeat yet chill nature of the song is perfect for when the sun is in your face and you're with people you love.

2. T-Shirt Weather by Circa Waves

"I can't sleep while the sun's awake." Whenever I think of warm weather, I think of this song. Not only is the title perfect for warm weather, the lyrics reminisce on the little things that define 't-shirt weather'. This song is definitely perfect for a dance party or driving to the beach or another spring/summer destination.

3. What Do I Know? by Ed Sheeran

This song is one of many new sounds from Sheeran's new album '÷'. Along with the famous voice and perfect harmonies, the relaxing tune about the power of music will free you from stress and anxiety for at least 3 minutes and 57 seconds.

4. Everything by Kaptan

"Keep your head up... Everything's gonna be alright." From downtown Nashville, Andrew de Torres encourages listeners that it really is all going to be okay with a happy shimmer. A perfect reminder for when you're running late or stuck in insane traffic.

5. Hey Lady by Stephen Day

A sweet, guitar-filled love song with an even sweeter voice. Like John Mayer, Day knows how to work the guitar and mix it with a little piano while swooning his love. If anything, this song will do nothing but make your morning a bit more cheerful.

6. Happy With Me by HOLYCHILD

Self-defined genre of "brat pop", Liz Nistico and Louie Diller bring the strong beats to indie-pop. Formed at George Washington University in 2012, the duo without a doubt encapsulate a young sound that all teens and college students can enjoy. This particular song was featured on the 'Me Before You' movie soundtrack.

7. Daft Pretty Boys by Bad Suns

Inspired by 1970-80's post-punk musicians like The Cure, Bad Suns' sound can even be enjoyed by anti-rock listeners. Daft Pretty Boys is perfect for your road trip playlist or if you need to wake up from a long night, this won't be nearly as obnoxious as your alarm clock.

8. Absolutely by Ra Ra Riot

For those days when the heat of the sun takes away your energy and you just want to do nothing. This song will half-support the idea of doing nothing, and half-get you pumped to keep going. The violin (played by Rebecca Zeller) adds a flair to the indie sound that most don't typically integrate.

9. With Love by Harbour

If catchy things are your catharsis, definitely give this one a listen. This song tells the story of a guy realizing he might be in love, and the feelings going through his mind. Without being cheesy, the pop/rock sound from Ohio will get you in the mood for a day in the sun or motivate you to keep on going on those rough days.

10. The Sound by The 1975

The fresh and cheery sounds from The 1975's pink sophomore album is perfect for a dance party. Whether you're dancing by yourself, in the car, or with friends, the beats and melody will have you tapping your foot or bobbing your head.

All these songs and artists bring different sounds that aren't typically played on the radio stations, so if you're tired of hearing the same five songs over and over again, try these songs out and enjoy the happy feels they bring.

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.
