Dominating the a capella world.

Music Review: Pentatonix
axs

It's time for another music review! This week I'm going to put a spotlight on the biggest a capella group in the world right now - Pentatonix.

Pentatonix is made up of members Scott Hoying, Mitch Grassi, Kirstie Maldanado, Avi Kaplan, and Kevin Olusola. Scott, Mitch, and Kirstie all attended the same High School in Arlington, TX. After they graduated, they decided to audition for a hit a capella TV show called "The Sing Off." The minimum group size for the show was five members, so they began the hunt for a bass singer and a killer beat-boxer. Enter Avi and Kevin.

They were selected for Season 3 of "The Sing Off" and ended up winning. After becoming the Season 3 champions, they kind of fell off the map. They were posting videos on YouTube every week in an effort to keep their music out there, but the record deal from The Sing Off wasn't one that was very productive to them. Their videos on YouTube went so viral that RCA records ended up offering them a contract.

Now, 7 albums later, Pentatonix is the biggest a capella group in the world. They have dominated the charts with covers and original music. They have just released their third Christmas album, titled "A Pentatonix Christmas." For the last several days, their Christmas music is all I've been able to listen to.

Just about everybody has heard at least one song by Pentatnoix, but if you haven't, you definitely need to check out their YouTube page! My obsession from them right now is their cover of "Hallelujah." It's just amazing!

That's all for this week's music review!

40 Gift Ideas for the Indecisive

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.
