10 Music Videos To Watch When You Need To Get Away From Everything

Have you ever had a day where everything is going wrong? That assignment you thought was due next week is due in class today, you're working a double shift later that night, and you have about negative 2% energy to do anything -- this may be the playlist you need to unwind.


This song came out in 2010 and is part of the album On Melancholy Hill by the Gorilllaz. It reminds me of a lullaby a little bit in a weird dystopian universe. It's reflective of the signature style that the Gorillaz infuse into their image, album cover, and content.


An oldie but a goody from Daft Punk. This song was released in 2009 and has over 24 million views. Personally, I love a music video with a plot line and this music video provides it. The style of this music video is almost like a comic book -- it reminds me of AHa's Take on Me music video from back in the 80's.


This song is written by the Studio Killers in 2011. It's pretty provocative but I love the beat and the animation of the animals. This video is definitely different than the other videos that have been listed so far; the psychedelic music, the animation style, and the depiction of humans, specifically women, in the video.


This song's somewhat trap like but it's definitely a music video that will command your attention, and possibly confuse the hell out of you. This video is one I'd definitely classify as "trippy". It's heavily edited and there isn't much of a plot but who needs those anyways?


This music video makes me think these are outtakes from Fantasia. I love the somewhat poppy sound echoing behind the adventure that unfold throughout the music video.


This is one of my all-time favorite music videos. It first premiered on Adult Swim and took off from there. The animation in this video is varied and aligns so well with the song written by Dan Deacon. This is by far one of the best music videos to listen to when you need to destress.


This video is a twist off of the original video and promo for the song Electric Love. It's fantastic, that is all.


If you enjoy reading or watching shows about a dystopian type of world, this video is going to rock your world.


This is a song you could definitely put on in the background while doing homework. It's a lesser watched video but it's definitely worth adding another view to the overall total on Youtube. I love how they illustrate the characters featured in the music video. I think that the band tried to incorporate cultural aspects into their psychedelic video.


Last but certainly not least, my absolute favorite video of all time. I love Tame Impala and this video combines digital effects and real acting so well. This video is definitely one anyone who has been hung out to dry by someone they had feelings for will relate to. It perfectly describes that contentedness we may feel waiting for the other person to be "ready" even though it's clear the other person's intentions aren't pure.

Happy watching!!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
