Bring Back the Classics

The 50s and 60s produced some of the best music and artist of all time, it's time to bring them back.

Bring Back the Classics

When I started my junior year of college, something was telling me one more to listen to Frank Sinatra. As I opened up my music player on my computer, and I typed his name in the search bar, I literally only knew two to three songs by him. I kept listening though, because there is just something about the music from the 50s and 60s that is just so enjoyable.

The real question is, why don’t people still listen to this kind of music? Why aren’t we showing kids what real music sounds like? I mean, I can’t be the only one who is sick and tired of hearing mainstream radio and artist singing/rapping about butts.

We need to bring back the classics, the music that made people dance and feel good, just as some songs do today. There are artist out there that we don’t even know about who sound like the next Sinatra and Dean Martin.

What songs should we bring back though? Here are some options:

“You Make Me Feel So Young” by Frank Sinatra

A classic form Sinatra, off of his 1956 album Songs for Swingin' Lovers!

"Ain't That A Kick in the Head" by Dean Martin

We also can't help love Martin's Christmas songs as well, but this song is one that makes us chuckle.

"It's The Most Wonderful Time of the Year" by Andy Williams

I had to include this, I mean, listen to his voice! No one has a voice like that.

"What A Wonderful World" by Louis Armstrong

Look at that smile! Armstrong's music just puts you in a happy mood, and his duet album with Ella Fitzgerald is pure magic.

"Feeling Good" by Nina Simone

Forget Michael Bublé's version, Simone's top them all.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
