Best Albums Of 2016 (So Far)

So far 2016 has been the year of releasing good music. There have been so many good albums released throughout the year that I spend almost all of my free time listening to music. Music is always playing when walking to class, doing homework, in the car, and basically all the time. I have found a ton of good music so I compiled a list of my five favorite albums from 2016 (so far):

1. I Like It When You Sleep, for You Are So Beautiful Yet So Unaware Of It- The 1975

The 1975’s second studio album was amazing, topping both the US and UK charts upon release. I listen to a song off of this album nearly every day because it is that good. The album is the perfect mix of slower ballads and upbeat jams. Every song was written by members of the band and highlights their incredible talent.

Favorite Songs: She’s American, Change of Heart, Somebody Else, Loving Someone, Paris, UGH!, and Love Me

2. Mind Of Mine- Zayn

After leaving One Direction, Zayn’s debut album was in a completely different direction and a definite success. Zayn had a part in writing every song on the album and his smooth vocals are featured on every track.

Favorite Songs: She, Wrong, Like I Would, Drunk, Befour and Borderz

3. Lemonade- Beyoncé

Queen B once again delivered an unbelievable album. It was filled with her powerful voice and emotionally charged lyrics. The visual album adds a whole other dimension to the album, I highly recommend checking it out.

Favorite Songs: Hold Up, Sorry, Formation, Don’t Hurt Yourself, and Freedom

4. The Ride- Catfish and the Bottlemen

Alternative rock band, Catfish and the Bottlemen, released their second album in late May. The album is filled with many different songs, ranging from slower ballads to high-energy rock songs.

Favorite Songs: Soundcheck, 7, Emily, Glasgow, and Heathrow.

5. Wild World- Bastille

Bastille’s recently released, second studio album is brilliant. Front man, Dan Smith’s distinct and unique vocals make the songs even more incredible. The album is filled with fun, energetic songs that would be amazing live (hopefully, they’ll be going on tour soon).

Favorite Songs: Blame, Good Grief, Fake It, Snakes, Two Evils, and Lethargy.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
