2016 is slowly coming to a close and 2017 is just around the corner. This year has been a year of novelty for me, obviously. A new school, a new city, a new STATE, new friends, new classes, new experiences....the list could go on forever. I was going to write an article about how my life has changed this year, honestly but between the holidays and family asking how college is, how I like Pittsburgh, etc. I'm quite honestly SICK of talking about me. So instead, in no particular order, I'm going to comment on my favorite music that has come out this year.
