There are so many music artists around the world whether they are a solo artist or are involved in a band, that it's nearly impossible to listen to everyone, or know that everyone exists. It's just plain difficult. That's why "Spotify", "Pandora", and "YouTube" exist, but even then it's hard to listen to every single artist out there. We as a society are sucked into the most popular music on the radio and that's as far as we all go, but there are so many artists around that don't get a chance to have their song be heard by that many people on that medium. So here's five artists that no one listens to, but really should. Many of these have similar styles, some you may have heard of but not a lot of, and all will amaze you.

1. Bon Iver

Listen. OK. If you could just take an hour, or two let's be honest here, get on "Spotify", follow his "22, A Million" album, you'll literally be obsessed within minutes. It's so weird and different but has true meaning and soul behind each lyric. You could also hate his music, but you can't get away from it. If you have no idea who he is, he is the person who originally sand "Skinny Love". That should do it for you. Like I said, his songs are pretty strange, have a different beat to them then you're probably used to, but they will seriously calm you down from a bad day.

2. 3LW/Adrienne Bailon(Houghton)

So most of you probably know who Adrienne Bailon is, AKA Chanel (Chuchi) from "The Cheetah Girls" or the daytime talk show "The Real". But little do you know, she was also in the girl group "3LW (3 Little Women)". This group was full of the R&B/pop style that everyone loves. All of the songs were so fun and catchy and certainly songs you should listen to with your girls. The other thing is, is that Adrienne has songs of her own. Although there's not many of them, the songs that she does have released are amazing and are literally great to sing to yourself. I highly recommend "Don't Give Up On Us". Get it girl.

3. Ingrid Michaelson

I personally do not understand why more people do not know about Ingrid Michaelson. Especially those who take regular modern/contemporary modern dance classes. Every single song by her has such a "feel good" vibe to it and it's irresistable. If you haven't heard any of her songs, if anyone from this list, please look her up.

4. Sleeping At Last

"Sleeping At Last" is a lot like Ingrid Michaelson. Their songs are very feel good, lovey, and honestly just stunning and beautiful to listen to. Though they have many albums full of amazing music, they go along the same lines as Bon Iver, in being unheard. They have a lot of songs that have been played on "The Twilight Saga" and danced to on "So You Think You Can Dance". The "Atlas" album series is the best.

5. Bridget Mendler

You'll probably recognize this name from The Disney Channel series "Good Luck Charlie" or the Disney Channel Original Movie "Lemonade Mouth". Many agree that Disney makes a lot of their workers sing regardless if they actually can or not. The thing is, is this girl can actually sing. Like for real. Her new EP "Nemesis" is full of perfect songs to dance around to, sing to, and definitely the type of music you listen to while scrolling through Tumblr. Go take a listen.

These are just five amazing unheard artists out of the world. I encourage you to go onto whatever app you have and go searching for music that no one has heard of and get your friends obsessed. The more people to hear amazing and beautiful unheard music will make the world go around! Get listening!

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?
