You've heard of Pentatonix, now get ready for Superfruit! Superfruit is the dynamic duo of Scott Hoying and Mitch Grassi, originally a YouTube channel, but now expanded into a full out music group. The YouTube channel has been home to several mashups and covers alike (how can we forget "Hip Hop Goes Broadway"?), but fans first got a taste of the pair's original music from the animated video for "Bad 4 Us".

Now, we've officially got a full-fledged Superfruit album, and it's like Christmas came early. "Future Friends" started out as two EPs come together for one giant album. It boasts 16 songs, one of which is a remix of the title track, and not your typical remix either as it is comprised solely of piano and a chorus of beautiful voices. Think of "Future Friends" as your feel good Friday night music. It's hard to pick a favorite because every song is as energetic and lyrical as the next.

It's a different vibe of music, especially coming from these two, who we are used to hearing in Pentatonix. Different in this case doesn't mean that it's bad, though. Each song transports us back to the 90s because it gives off that new age electronic pop music. In the case of "Heartthrob", though, we're stuck in the 90s with no intention of going back. There are a few ballad-esque songs--see: "Deny U" and "Goodbye From Lonely", but the real show-stopper, at least in my opinion, has to be "GUY.exe". The song is about being able to supersize the perfect guy despite everyone saying that finding someone that perfect is impossible.

If you love Pentatonix and are constantly cycling through their albums and EPs, give "Future Friends" a try. Even if you aren't cycling through PTX's music, give "Future Friends" a try. It's a good time in 16 songs.

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.
