New year, new music!

New Music To Listen To In the New Year
Haley Walker

I think we're all ready for 2021, because it can't possibly get worse than 2020, right?? Well, to start the new year off the right way, here's a list of some artists, albums, and individual songs to listen to in 2021!

Pond

This indie rock band from Australia is great for anyone else like me who likes indie music. They've got a few songs that lean more towards psychedelic rock, like Giant Tortoise, and Man It Feels Like Space Again, and some more indie songs like Paint Me Silver, and Sweep Me Off My Feet.

Pasta by New Rules

Pasta is a song that artfully talks about how society has pressured girls into changing their habits or behaviors, specifically with food, to look good. It's done from a boyfriend's perspective, which is unusual for the topic but I LOVE it!

Dress by Charlotte Sands

Dress, a song about Harry Styles' Vogue cover that received criticism for not being masculine enough, and some called to "bring back manly men." Well, this song is a clap back to the idea that men look bad wearing or doing things that have been traditionally female

How Can You Mend A Broken Heart Album by the Bee Gees

Yes, I know the Bee Gees are a group from the 70s, but they do NOT get enough appreciation! The documentary How Can You Mend A Broken Heart was released at the beginning of December, which recounts the Gibb brothers' rise (and fall) to fame. This album of songs highlighted in the film has their best hits from their entire discography, so go check out the movie, and the music!

Pancakes for Dinner by Lizzy McAlpine

You ever love someone but you're too afraid to tell them? Well have I got a song for you! Pancakes for Dinner is about a girl who wants to tell the person they like how they truly feel, but they're too afraid, so they're writing a song to tell them just in case they never get the chance. It's a beautiful acoustic song, and Lizzy McAlpine has the voice of an angel!

Jeremy Zucker

I'm sure you've probably heard of Jeremy Zucker, and if you don't know his name, you'll definitely recognize at least one of his hit songs, like comethru (feat. Bea Miller), all the kids are depressed, you were good to me, or always i'll care! Another star on the rise, so keep a look out for him and his new releases!

Two Straws by Also Joe

Two Straws, by the artist Also Joe, is about two people who "mix just like a mixtape" and, like the title says, "go together like two straws in a milkshake!"

MacKenzie Bourg

MacKenzie Bourg is a new solo artist with a STUNNING voice. He was actually on American Idol, AND on the Voice! He is clearly amazingly talented, and does not get enough credit for his skills. Some of my favorite songs of his are Big, Lost & Found, and Little Moon!

McLean's Baby Boy by Neighbor Susan

If you ever wanted a song to vibe to, McLean's Baby Boy is the song for you. The title is strange sounding, and doesn't really have anything to do with the song, (which you'll find is a trend for a lot of good indie music), but the harmonizing and sound layering on this song is TO DIE FOR!

COIN

COIN is one of my all-time favorite indie bands, and I will live and die by their music! After seeing them live at Penn State, (pre-COVID of course), I can personally attest to the fact that they're just as good live as they are in their recordings! I'd recommend a couple songs but I can't just pick a few, you can't go wrong with any of them!

"I want to thank Google, Wikipedia, and whoever else invented copy and paste. Thank you."

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

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."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. 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. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
