Whenever our favorite artist releases a new album, we tend to be excited and wait for some singles to listen and see if it's good or different. If we enjoy it then chances are, we constantly replay that one song on repeat. We continue this until the album drops and eventually, we also repeat the album. I am no stranger to this and these are the albums that I still put on repeat.

1) Marmozets- Knowing What You Know Now (2018)


Marmozets are a math rock band that I've been following ever since I've heard their 2014 debut album "The Weird and Wonderful Marmozets" back in 2016, I was immediately was blown away and became an instant fan. So, they recently released their second album titled "Knowing What You Know Now" earlier this year in January. This album when compared to their previous album, is different as their first album was more raw and heavy. Despite this, the second album is amazing as I loved every song with "Insomnia", "Major System Error" and "Lost In Translation" being my favorites from the album. The album is polished, catchy and still has that Marmozets style that, makes them unique and different. If you ever want to see them live, then I suggest you should as they have a great stage presence, especially Becca, who is the lead singer, she shows a tremendous amount of energy and excitement that can get you to be energetic.

2) Myrkur- Mareridt (2017)


I admire Myrkur, she is an amazing artist that does what she loves, despite the constant undeserved hate she gets from ignorant fans. Myrkur is a one-woman Black Metal project formed by Amalie Brunn. She released her debut album "M" in 2015 which I loved and got me to be a fan of her. Her recent album released last year in 2017. I was interested and excited about it when she dropped her single "Måneblôt" I was excited and I wasn't disappointed when I heard the album. What makes Myrkur unique is her ability and style to incorporate folk songs, and to make it dark and add an atmospheric tone to it. She is a unique artist within the black metal genre.

3) Secrets- Secrets (2018)


Secrets are a Post-hardcore band from San Diego, formed in 2010 and released their debut album "The Ascent" in 2012. Secrets are their fourth studio album and when I listened to it, it was a step up and significantly better than their third album "Everything That Got Us here" which wasn't my favorite album from them but, everyone has their opinions. I enjoyed this album so far, and it's really a good solid album that fans of post-hardcore would love. I especially enjoyed their cover of "The Shape of You" which they released as a single for this album.

Listening to some of the coolest and newest songs can get us hooked if we enjoy it. One of those side effects is constantly listening to an album or song on repeat because why not? It shows how much we enjoy it, and how much we support it and the artist.

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.

There are a lot of foods in this world, but there is only one dish that stands above the rest: Pizza. If you're close to me or at least know who I am, then you know that I'm totally obsessed with pizza. It's one of my favorite things to eat and I will NEVER turn down a slice, even if it doesn't have my favorite toppings. There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not thinking about pizza. I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.

Why I Love Being Single (And You Should, Too)

Dedicated to February 14

1. You don't have to feel guilty about flirting with customers for tips (or just for shits and giggles).

2. You can be obnoxiously flirtatious with anyone you want. You are free to be that girl that flirts with everybody and makes 'em all smile (it's especially fun when the guy is as cute as Collin Jost). No shame.

3. Making random men nervous with your superior beauty and intense eye contact just for the hell of it is really amusing and empowering.

4. No one gives two poops if ya legs are hairy (your man shouldn't either but *Kermit the Frog meme* That's none of my business)

5. The toilet seat will remain down.

6. There's more money to spend on yourself.

7. There's always this secret butterfly in your tummy that marvels at the possibility that when you go out this weekend you're gonna meet someone super handsome/wonderful/prince-like and have this moment of dazzling dalliance.

8. Nothing is that serious...you can take it all with a grain of salt...you don't owe anybody anything.

9. You can dance with anyone and everyone...or no one (Hello frat boi w/ glasses, I see you).

10. You don't have to fluff anyone's ego but your own.

11. Free drinks and dinners from single guys (It's not taking advantage if they're offering; a girl's gotta eat).

12. You have more time to learn how to love and improve yourself rather than constantly pouring your energy into another person.

13. You don't have to sacrifice your cheesy Jen Aniston rom-coms and Gilmore Girls for his Fast and Furious/other dumb action movie featuring blonde that is only in the movie to supply a relationship to the male lead and to make him look more masculine/empowered in juxtaposition (In other words, you don't have to deal with a guy being a crabby Patty while you watch your cute movies).

14. You can daydream about what your future husband may be doing right now (and not get stressed/guilty out because you're not picturing your current boyfriend that's crazy about you as your future husband).

15. There is more time to be spent with your girlfriends.

The 12 astrological signs all fall under one of four elements: air, water, earth, or fire. Air signs are rational, social, and love to communicate with others. Water signs are are emotional, intuitive, and mysterious. Fire signs tend to be passionate, creative, and adventurous. Earth signs are conservative, realistic, and loyal.
