The Grammys have always been an iconic event for the music industry to celebrate all the amazing artists from the previous year. The honor of winning Record of the Year is the most propionate award that an artist can win at the Grammys. The honor has been won by many amazing artists like Michael Jackson, Whitney Huston, Celine Dion, and Adele just to name a few. This year the nominees for Record of the Year were quite well known: D'Angelo and The Vanguard, Ed Sheeran, Mark Ronson feat. Bruno Mars, Taylor Swift, and The Weeknd.

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.
