Want an escape from overplayed pop songs? Look no further. Here are seven of the newest albums you should be listening to on repeat.

1. "Ye" by Kanye West

While Kanye continues to create controversy with his changing political beliefs, his music continues to top the charts- "Ye" being no different. Much shorter than other albums, West's new album has 7 songs, incorporating chopped up samples of music and gospel-informed vocal arrangements into his pieces. Kanye's mental health is the major theme of this album, with his lyrics describing his battle with bipolar disorder and suicidal thoughts.

2. "Ctrl" by SZA

As an up and coming artists, SZA's new album proves to be her most innovative and impactful work yet. Songs like "Drew Barrymore" and "Prom" deal with insecurity and loss, while "Doves in the Wind" focus on empowerment by physicality. SZA's new album is moving and inventive, with lyrics that focus on deep subject matter.

3. "This One's For You Too" by Luke Combs

Only 27 when he released his debut album, Comb's burly and raspy vocals are music to any country lover's ears. "When It Rains It Pours" is a catchy and playful classic that is bound to be a favorite, while "Hurricane" hooks its audience with moving lyrics.

4. "beerbongs & bentleys" by Post Malone

Only his second album released besides "Stoney", Post Malone proves to be a chart-topper with his catchy melodies and acoustic ballads. "beerbongs & bentleys" tells the story of a luxurious life full of money and partying, yet Post Malone adds a darker side to the album that emotes the emptiness and unhappiness that comes with the lifestyle.

5. "Invasion of Privacy" by Cardi B

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
