Like most people, you probably have Spotify downloaded on your computer and/or phone. However, do you pay for Spotify? I’ve asked around a lot, and surprisingly, many people tell me that they do NOT pay for Spotify. I was absolutely shocked to find out how many people are missing out on such an amazing experience! So, I decided to write about why you should upgrade your Spotify!

#1 The Basics

First, I should explain what Spotify is for those who don’t know. Spotify is like a library collection of music that allows you stream songs straight to your computer or phone. They provide a wide variety of artists and genre, which makes it a preferred choice for many music lovers. Spotify is absolutely free for everyone to use, but paying for it provides an advantage.

#2 College Students get a discount!

Spotify Premium only costs $4.99 a month if you’re a student! You just have to enter in your school information and you’re all good! It regularly costs $9.99 a month, so you’re saving definitely saving some money! I know that money is a big issue for college students, so it definitely helps that Spotify understands that and offers us a discounted rate. You could technically just use the free version, but I believe paying for it is so worth the investment.

#3 Offline Music for the win!

A major advantage of Spotify Premium is that you can listen to music offline! That means you don’t need to have access to Wi-Fi or be forced to use your data on your phone! This is probably my favorite thing about Spotify Premium! When you make a playlist, it gives you an option labeled “Offline,” and if you switch it on, it downloads the music to your phone and then you’re set! When I walk up the hill to school at UC Merced, I have crummy access to the Wi-Fi, so this option on Spotify Premium allows me to enjoy my walk while listening to my music! It’s overall a very useful option for those who don’t want to use their data, since that definitely drives up the phone bill! Also, when Wi-Fi is down, you can still listen to music, unlike other music streaming services.

#4 No Ads!!

The reason I stopped using Pandora is because I could not handle the ridiculous ads that would be constantly playing! If you get Spotify Premium, you no longer have to sit through ads! With the free version of Spotify, I believe you get an ad for every five songs skipped. This can definitely grow annoying for people, and if you’re anything like me, you’re always skipping through music trying to find that one sing to listen to! So, save yourself the torture and get Spotify Premium so you can keep listening to awesome music!

So, if you’re willing to spend $5 a month for unlimited music both on and offline, then Spotify Premium is the choice for you!

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.
