Who Is Benny Blanco?

IG: @itsbennyblanco

Benny Blanco is not a well known name... but it sure as heck will be. As an American record producer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist, he is well known IN the music industry. He has been behind the scenes of some major hits from artists like Maroon 5, Selena Gomez, Justin Bieber, The Weekend, Wiz Khalifa, Kanye West, Rihanna, Ed Sheehan, Cardi B, and many more. He even won the 2017 iHeartradio Producer of the Year award. But outside of producing credits or those not in tune with the inside of the music industry, he hasn't been a familiar name... until now.

He dropped his first single under his own name with Halsey & Khalid this past summer titled "Eastside." You can watch the music video below. It's actually a cute little video and I absolutely love it.

& after the success of that single, he has now dropped a seven song album featuring some popular artists including Brendon Urie of Panic! At The Disco, Calvin Harris, Ty Dolla $ign, and more! You can check it out below, and if you dig it (which you will (; ) ... you can stream the album on Spotify and Apple Music or purchase the album on iTunes or Amazon Music. You won't be disappointed! :)

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. 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.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
