10 Reasons Why You Should be Listening to The 1975
CBS

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.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.
