The Wombats will be releasing their fourth studio album in February 2018 and the first single from the new record just dropped this week, "Lemon To A Knife Fight." Frontman Matthew Murphy has said he wants the band's latest record to be a bit more laid back than 2015's Glitterbug.

As a longtime fan of The Wombats, "Lemon to a Knife Fight" seems like it picks up where Glitterbug left off in a way that shows the band members have grown up a bit. The indie rockers have always been known for putting a fun spin on the dramatic side of relationships in young adulthood, and this certainly spoke to me in my early 20s when I was looking to move on, or at least expand my tastes, from high school emo. Rather than partying hard, this album will focus on trying to be an adult and failing, a feeling many of us millennials can relate to.

Murphy has said the new single is about a fight he had with his wife while driving on Mulholland Drive in Los Angeles. Like much of Glitterbug, I definitely get the LA vibes from this song, and the upcoming album is aptly titled Beautiful People Will Ruin Your Life.

The Wombats will be touring with the Pixies and Weezer next summer and the forthcoming record is available for preorder.

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.
