Don't Sleep On Mark Ronson

Have you listened to any of his other songs besides Uptown Funk?

Don't Sleep On Mark Ronson

You may not know who Mark Ronson is, but you've jammed to his music. I can guarantee that. He is responsible for the master album that contained Uptown Funk. That album is straight fire but no one really listened to it. Its funny because it sounds like a one hit wonder situation, you know one song goes big but none of the others do and presumably they're all trash. Well, I'm here to tell you that they are not, they bang. Dude, this album was positively received by most critics and also got an A- from the A.V. Club, saying that the album is "pop-friendly, and undeniably sexy collection of funk and R&B", and praised the tracks "Summer Breaking", "Daffodils", "Feel Right", "I Can’t Lose" "Crack In The Pearl", and "Heavy And Rolling". What's awesome about the album is that it's Mark's 4th studio album and he dedicated it to Amy Winehouse. It's called Uptown Special and it totally reminds me of the 80's, not necessarily 80's music but it mostly feels like it would be perfect to use as the score for a movie about the 80's. The album is an extremely talented producer just doing his thing, and the story behind the album is just as awesome, its supposed to represent all these different parts of America, so Ronson took a road trip all across America, and the artists he found singing in bars and local dives, he put them on the album. It is all different, and just good music. It's a good album to look back on and revisit all of those songs that you avoided just to listen to Uptown Funk. And yes, Uptown Funk frickin' bumps. It's a great song, but you really need to check out the other songs if you want to get a full scope of his album. So stop sleeping on Mark Ronson. He's a super talented producer that no one really talks about. Also, does anyone know what happened to Macklemore??

PS. Stevie Wonder is on the album. Oh you didn't know that? Yeah, go check it out right now. Oh and if you're too lazy to actually go buy the album, I found the whole thing on YouTube and pasted it for you below.

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.
