Everyone, It's Time to Love Little Mix

Little Mix has been the biggest girl group in the UK for almost a decade. But chances are, you've never even heard a Little Mix song on the radio here in the US. A combination of mismanagement and the pressures from being a diverse, girl group meant that Little Mix could not successfully make a breakthrough in America. But Little Mix is a talented, relatable, and empowering group, and it's finally time for all of us Americans to become Mixers.

Little Mix, made of members Perrie Edwards, Jesy Nelson, Jade Thirwall, and Leigh-Anne Pinnock, won the X-Factor UK in 2011. Their strong vocals and unwavering support for one another helped make them the first group to ever win X-Factor UK. Since then, they've released five albums and toured all across Europe. They've won many awards, such as Europe Music Awards and Global Awards.

These girls have made such a big impact on the music industry, through talent and their show of empowerment. One of their first songs, Little Me, was released in 2013. As one of my favorite songs from them, its lyrics tell girls to be proud and self-loving.

The song Joan of Arc came out more recently, in 2018. It has a very different style and a somewhat similar message: feminism.

If you've ever heard a Little Mix, it would be Black Magic, Shoutout to My Ex, or Wasabi, whose mash-up with 1-800-LOVE-U's Just Leave Me For Somebody Else became a TikTok trend over the summer.

Little Mix's talent clearly shines through their music. Their songs, albums, and styles have all grown and evolved over time. It's unthinkable that this group's music has been lost somewhere between UK and America.

Additionally, the group itself is very aware of the impact they have. They've addressed the lack and mistreatment of diversity within the music industry, especially relating to Thirwall and Pinnock. As said before, they're also activists for women, with music that has stood by that since the group's beginning. Additionally, Little Mix has supported anti-bullying organizations in Europe. Recently, Jesy Nelson was the focus of the documentary Jesy Nelson: Odd One Out, specifically focusing on her cyberbullying and mental health since the group's formation. This group has not only made an impact on reality TV and the music industry, but also the world.

If you've become a Mixer since the beginning of this article, now is a perfect time! The girls are headed for some amazing, new things for the rest of the year. Currently, Little Mix is hosting a new TV show on BBC One called Little Mix: The Search. It's a different type of competition reality show, where the girls are trying to find a talented band to take on their next tour. Their sixth studio album, Confetti, is releasing on November 6th. Just a few days after, on November 8th, they're hosting the European Music Awards on MTV. This talented girl group hasn't stopped reaching new heights since their explosive beginning. It's time for everyone to see their presence.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
