Sometimes we feel that the songs that are constantly on the radio have no creative sparkle to them and these songs not only are they similar, but some even drive the 'ear-worm' syndrome ("a tune or part of a song that repeats in one's mind").

At one point, these new songs are not only so similar to each other but they are overplayed that I no longer listen to them whenever they come on the radio, or I will constantly switch between radio stations to find some other song to listen to. However, Postmodern Jukebox changes modern day songs by placing a vintage-retro twist onto them making them sound like a new song but post-modernized.

Here is a list of the 15 Postmodern Jukebox songs (there's more of course on their channel):

1) Closer-Retro '50s Prom Style Chainsmokers/Halsey Cover ft. Kenton Ch

2) Call Me Maybe- Postmodern Jukebox: Reboxed Cover ft. Von Smith

3) Mr. Brightside-1940s Rat Pack Style The Killers Cover ft. Blake Lewis


4) Cry Me a River- Vintage '50s R&B Justin Timberlake Cover ft. Von Smith


5) Grenade-Vintage '60s Style Bruno Mars Cover ft. Brielle


6) Poker Face- 1946 Big Band Style Lady Gaga Cover ft. Kelley Jakle


7) Focus- Ray Charles Style Ariana Grande Cover ft. LaVance Colley


8) Oops!... I Did It Again- Vintage Marilyn Monroe Style Britney Spears Cover ft. Haley Reinhart


9) Shake it Off- Vintage Motown Taylor Swift Cover ft. Von Smith


10) Rude- Vintage 1950s Sock Hop- Style MAGIC! Cover ft. Von Smith


11) Fancy- Vintage 1920s Flapper- Style Iggy Azalea Cover ft. Ashley Stroud


12) Timber- Vintage 1950s Doo Wop Pitbull/Ke$ha Cover


13) Rather Be- Vintage Western/"Westworld" Saloon- Style Clean Bandit Cover ft. Ada Pasternak


14) Bad Romance- Postmodern Jukebox: Reboxed ft. Sara Niemietz & The Sole Sisters


15) Umbrella- Vintage "Singin' in the Rain" Style Rihanna Cover ft. Casey Abrams & The Sole Sisters

Postmodern Jukebox makes other modern songs with a post-modern twist on it. Sometimes there are great songs out there that just need a different spin on it so it doesn't fall into the category of songs that sound the same as the rest of other songs.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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?
