Mitch Rossell: Taking Nashville By Storm

Finding up and coming artists is one of my favorite things to do. There's something so exciting about falling in love with someone's music before they become famous. That's how I found, Mitch Rossell. Mitch has it all. He can sing and he can write his own music. He started doing covers, which is when I fell in love with him. I don't remember exactly what song it was, but I watched one cover a few years ago and it was game over. I've been obsessed ever since. There's nothing more relaxing then blasting his music while I write a paper, study, run. It's always so inviting.

Looking at the lineup of songs on "Raised by the Radio", his newest album, there's not a single song I don't enjoy.

"Why I Drink" is probably my favorite song on the album. It's a more emotional song on the album, where he sings of a breakup. He's singing about drinking wine because she loved it and that's how he keeps her in his thoughts. It's a super catchy ballad.


"Not Enough," my second favorite song on the album, is about the future. Another love based song, he uses this upbeat song to song about how no matter how much you love someone it's not always enough. But when you miss someone, is it enough to come back home? He can't wait around for someone to decide he's enough.


The album single, "Raised By the Radio," is a great song about him reminiscing on what he grew up on. "I learned life is a highway so take it easy because it just don't happen twice" is the message of the song. No matter where you go, those songs you were raised on are going to be there to guide you.


"Mine was a Backroad" is about growing up in the peaceful country. In a slower song, he sings about growing up in this place but having to move away to follow his dreams. "Sometimes I wish this city was one res light and a piggly wiggly" he sings. He misses the comfort of his small hometown. "Life's a highway so I'm told, but I wish mine was a backroad."


Switching up gears a little and moving on to an older single he put out, "A Soldier's Memoir," is one song I love and have loved since I first heard it. I can play it on repeat. It's about the impacts these soldiers have when they are in war. It's about the PTSD that is often ignored. Just because a soldier is home doesn't mean they forget.

Bonus track: "Whoever Thought of Whiskey" It's a catchy party song. I know I've spent a few nights blasting this while drinking a few drinks. There's not too much to say about it, just that he really appreciates his 90 proof.


While he sings most of the songs he writes, Rossell has already hit a major milestone in his career. His role model, Garth Brooks, cut one of his songs and has been raving about him since. "Ask Me How I Know" is Rossell's big break as a songwriter in Nashville and to have someone as big as Garth to sing it is incredible. Ever since I started watching Mitch on YouTube, I knew he looked up to the big guy himself, so when I learned this news I was super proud. Playing a few opening acts for Garth Brooks World Tour, Mitch is entering the world of country music under some great guidance.


Don't forget his name because he's going to do some large and amazing things!

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way.
