Trey Songz Turns Atlanta's Tabernacle Into A Living Room
Sophie Harris

R&B artist Trey Songz released his seventh studio album, Tremaine the Album, earlier this year. This summer, he is promoting Tremaine by playing intimate concerts all over the country. Last Sunday, May 21, he stopped at the Tabernacle in Atlanta to perform to an enthusiastic and packed house.

When he first appeared in the spotlight with "Can't Help But Wait" in 2007, "Say Aah" in 2009, and "Bottoms Up" in 2010, he made a name for himself as "Mr. Steal Yo Girl." "Bottoms Up" was everyone's favorite party song in high school, and is his most successful single to date. Now, however, he's developed his own style with a dedicated fanbase to support him. He frequently calls his fanbase his "Angels."

Trey has ditched the drunken "Mr. Steal Yo Girl" vibe and transitioned into slow, sensual, '90s-esque R&B jams like "Dive In" and "Slow Motion." But instead of your typical, run-of-the-mill '90s R&B song, Tremaine is anything but cheesy. In this album, along with sensual serenades, he dives into more complex emotions and struggles that many of his listeners face.

Although the house was packed - so much so that an overheated fan passed out in the middle of the pit before the show - Trey wanted to make the show an intimate experience for everyone, even the ones in the balcony. If you've been to a show at the Tabernacle before, you know that the organ pipes behind the stage stand out - sometimes lit up by brightly colored lights. Trey utilized the space by draping curtains in front of the pipes and placing two couches on either side of him, to make it seem more like a living room setting than a concert venue. At one point in the concert, he even brought a fan from the crowd on stage and serenaded her.


Trey is almost done with the tour, so if he's coming near you, you won't want to miss it. For a full gallery of photos, click here.

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.

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
