10 Reasons Why You Should be Listening to The 1975

1. Matty Healy (the frontman, for those who don't know) is perfect

His style is perfect. Sense of humor is perfect. Everything about Matty is perfect.

2. Matty's hair

And he knows it too. If you need convincing, see reason #1.


3. The band has been best friends since their teens

Matty Healy, George Daniel, Adam Hann and Ross MacDonald met when they were young lads in secondary school and have been best friends ever since. As they like to say, "we've been a band for 10 years." What a glow up!!!

4. They write and produce on their own

Matty, George, Adam and Ross all write and produce the band's music. Most of the lyrics stem from their personal experiences. Mainly Matty's life.


5. They love to be dramatic

..and do it quite well in their videos. See it here and here.


6.  Matty's Dancing

I encourage you to look into this further, it's worth it. Trust me.

7.  Their confidence and artistic direction

Their confidence with this latest album and everything that has followed has been amazing to watch and feel a part of. They care so much about what the fan-base as a whole think.


8. They are not afraid to be themselves

And more importantly, make fun of themselves.

9. They are not scared of challenging gender norms

The "Love Me" video besides criticizing today's celebs, was full of makeup, licking, hot tubs, dancing and more dancing. And it was beautiful. For years, Matty has also worn women's clothing on and off stage.


10. The band is not afraid to speak their minds

Whether it is expressing their opinion in a song, tweeting at the Prime Minster, or rallying the crowd at Glastonbury about 'Brexit', count on it to be done.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
