... in musical form.

Christmas Came Early

December is an exciting month for many reasons: Christmas is in the foreseeable future, school is almost out for a month, warm, cozy sweaters can be worn, and the first snows begin. This year, December 4th and the rest of early December made the month exciting for an entirely different reason: new music. So many artists released new albums and tracks this past week, and here is a rundown of the ones worth listening to and the ones worth skipping.

1. Speedin' Bullet 2 Heaven- Kid Cudi

This album presents a raw, rockstar side of Cudder, moving away from the psychedelic style he used in previous albums. The Beevis and Butthead skits that are introduced in the middle of many of the tracks introduce an interesting dynamic to the sound of the album while the acoustic tracks soften the sound. Tracks such as Handle With Care, Confused, and Melting are the standouts of this one. Although the sound is different from previous Cudi music, it is everything he promoted it to be.

2. A Head Full of Dreams- Coldplay

Coldplay has done it again. The light-hearted album contains vocal duties with Beyonce and collaborations with Tove Lo; you will not want to stop listening. The album is ridden with musical bliss, each track building on the next. It is an album that will make you smile!

3. When It's Dark Out- G-Eazy

G-Eazy baited his fans with many singles from the long awaited album and on December 4th they got everything they waited for. Arguably the best album from G-Eazy yet, he boasts collaborations with Big Sean and Chris Brown. With a mix of the slow and soulful vibes to the party promoting songs about money, booze and women, G-Eazy touches on a large spectrum of emotion.

4. Black Market- Rick Ross

Opening with a slow and assertive track featuring John Legend and ending with a banger featuring Future, there is a lot going on in this album. With appearances by Mariah Carey and Mary J. Blige, many different artists and musical interests came together to make this album possible.

5. Late Nights- Jeremih

His first studio album since 2010- this is another that features a lot of big name artists. Citing label issues and personal struggles as the reasons for the long delay, the long awaited album finally dropped on December 4th. Tracks like Worthy, Royalty, and Impatient make the wait worth it.

Christmas came early this year with hours of new and awesome music for you to jam to or get pumped up to as we enter finals season.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
