The 12-year-old taking over the world with her unique voice. Grace Vanderwaal was probably a name you haven't heard much. She was on America's Got Talent auditioning in front of Howie Mandel, Mel B, Heidi Klum and Simon Cowell. Performing an original song "I Don't Know My Name" impressing the judges Mandel pushed his golden buzzer, sending her to the live shows.

Simon called her the "next Taylor Swift".

Round after round wowing America. The songs she wrote on America's Got Talent are not only catchy but unique and emotional. During the quarterfinals, she preformed her original song "Beautiful Thing". Making it onto the semifinals singing her song "Light the Sky". Then for the win singing her song "Clay."


She is the second female winner and second child act to win in the shows running history. Right after season one winner Bianca Ryan, at age 11.


After America's Got Talent the "I Don't Know My Name" singer has been busy. Jump-starting her singing career, landing at Sony Music's Columbia Records, the same company that manages artists such as Adele, Barbra Streisand, Beyonce, One Direction, and much more. During Thanksgiving Grace got the chance to preform during the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, riding on the GoldieBlox float singing her song "I Don't Know My Name." Being a guest on Ellen and the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. Also had 4 sold out shows in Las Vegas.

I am 20 years old and I am in love with the voice this one girl has. I can listen to her music all day. You can feel the emotion she puts into each of her songs. This girl is just getting started already have thousands it not millions of fans. She is going to be as big as Taylor Swift some day. I can't wait to see where she goes from here.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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?
