Simple Plan, a Canadian pop-punk band, is fairly well known for connecting to their fans through music, for their charity work, and highlighting common problems, especially for people in their late teens to mid twenties. In 2005, Simple Plan officially announced the formation of their foundation The Simple Plan Foundation; the foundation raised more than $100,000 in the first year. This same year, Simple Plan wrote a song titled Save You for their 2008 self titled album. Save You's music video featured multiple cancer survivors and their families, including lead singer Pierre Bouvier, his father, and his brother, Jay, who fought cancer in 2005. This video was made to bring attention The Simple Plan Foundation's fight against cancer in 2005.

Simple Plan released Untitled, which highlighted the dangers of drunk driver, and at the end of the video stated, "one-third of teen traffic deaths are alcohol related," a statistic provided by madd.org. In a joint letter is madd.org the band said the song was inspired from personal experience, stating that "One of the students at our high-school crashed his car driving back from a weekend trip and killed his best friend." A drunken mad hits the car of a younger girl, the video slows down as the the two cars collide and the video cuts to the girls family, who are thrown across the rooms they are in as the cars touch. This symbolizing how the death of a family member impacts people both physically and emotionally.

However, most recently, Simple Plan has released their newest music video for the song Perfectly Perfect on their newest album Take One For The Team (2016). Perfectly Perfect is an amazing song about body positivity. The song focal points on how your loved ones think you are perfect the way you are with lines like "you may not think you're a supermodel but you look like one to me; I'd rather have your picture on my phone than on the cover of a magazine."


These types of lyrics are not unusual for Simple Plan, and are in fact slightly similar to an older song Crazy: "young girls dying to be on TV, they won't stop til they reach their dreams, diet pills, surgery, photo-shopp'ed pictures in magazines; telling them how they should be, it doesn't make sense to me." However, the video is what makes this song perfectly perfect. The music video is extremely inclusive, featuring mixed race couples (above), same sex couples, couples with disabilities, people of all sizes, races, and ages. The first couple talks about how they met on Tinder, and another says they started talking over Facebook.

Seriously, this video is amazing. In the terrible times we're currently in, the positivity, warmth, love, and joy that this video emits is overwhelming. Personally, the monochrome filter they use in fantastic, symbolizing that love is black and white because nothing should stop someone from loving anyone else. Love is a pure substance that everyone should cherish, just as one should cherish themselves. Love yourself wholesomely, because life is too short to hate any part of your body. So, go check out Simple Plan's video for Perfectly Perfect, maybe some of their other fantastic videos. However, if you do just watched Perfectly Perfect, it's sure to be your new non-problematic fave!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
