11 Under Appreciated Albums And EPs
Genius

It seems that new, exceptional music is popping up everywhere (lucky for us), but it's hard to keep track of it all and give artists and albums the recognition they deserve. Even though their singles blow up, some albums and EPs as a whole tend to go overlooked amongst all the ruckus. Here are 11 albums and EPs (in no particular order) that seem to have gone under appreciated over time:

1. Troye Sivan - "Blue Neighbourhood"

Troye's debut album doesn't lack in lyrics that hit you to the core and resonate long after you finish listening. Dealing with love, heart break, growing up and the mental toll that comes with questioning one's sexuality, Blue Neighbourhood is sure worth a listen.

2. The 1975 - "I like it when you sleep, for you are so beautiful yet so unaware of it."

Though a few singles from the band's second album have hit the radio, it still seems that I like it when you sleep has yet to be appreciated for its entirety.

3. Terror Jr. - "Bop City"

A not so well known group that seemed to come out of no where (and not to mention their rumored link to Kylie) serves up an album that doesn't fail to impress with hypnotizing vocals on top of beats that will set any aux chord aflame.

4. Kehlani - "SweetSexySavage"

Perfection. Just plain perfection.

5. Chase Atlantic - "Part One"

This Aussie trio has been evolving their music for the past few years and this EP does not fail to impress with obvious influences from bands such as The 1975, and writing, recording, and producing all their own music.

6. Lauren Sanderson - "Center of Expression"

This Indiana native is all about continuously creating and expressing yourself everyday— hence the name of her debut EP Center of Expression. It deals with falling in love, heart break, and chasing your dreams — something pretty much anyone can relate to— all while singing or rapping her own lyrics deriving from her personal journals.

7. The Vaccines - "What Did You Expect From the Vaccines?"

Very, very under appreciated. Very.

8. Greyson Chance - "Somewhere Over My Head"

Greyson seemed to have disappeared from the music scene for years, but now he's back and better than ever. Greyson has seemed to develop his his own style of music — breaking away from his old adolescent pop sound. He also consistently pays thanks to James Bay (also featured in this list) for the influence Chaos and the Calm had while producing this EP.

9. Jon Bellion - "The Human Condition"

This Long Island native is so underrated, but he's slowly making his way up after dropping this debut album.

10. Ta-ku - "Songs To Break Up To"

Put on your headphones, close your eyes and vibe.

11. James Bay - "Chaos and The Calm"

Everyone knows at least one of James' singles that has hit the radio, but you can't appreciate those fully without listening through the album in its entirety. It's an intimate album with subtle gospel influences, which toys with the idea and struggles of the past and future.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.

Winter break is over, we're all back at our respective colleges, and the first week of classes is underway. This is a little bit how that week tends to go.

The professor starts to go over something more than the syllabus

You get homework assigned on the first day of class

There are multiple group projects on the syllabus

You learn attendance is mandatory and will be taken every class

Professor starts chatting about their personal life and what inspired them to teach this class

Participation is mandatory and you have to play "icebreaker games"

Everybody is going out because its 'syllabus week' but you're laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Now it's time to get back into the REAL swing of things. Second semester is really here and we all have to deal with it.

Whether you specialized in ringing people up or preparing the food, if you worked at Panera Bread it holds a special place in your heart. Here are some signs that you worked at Panera in high school.

1. You own so many pairs of khaki pants you don’t even know what to do with them

Definitely the worst part about working at Panera was the uniform and having someone cute come in. Please don’t look at me in my hat.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.
