As a 22 year old guy in Indianapolis, quarantine didn't impact me too much. I had to work from home and obviously couldn't see my friends that much but it gave me a lot of time to try new things, and focus on my career. I'm sure my dogs loved it because I ended up taking them on walks four or five times a week.

Parson James is an extremely talented musical genius. You will know him from his masterpiece created in 2015 called "Stole the Show" which was also later remixed by Kygo. Parson had a similar experience physically. He spent time in quarantine focusing on his career and writing style as well. I spoke with him recently about how quarantine impacted his life and his answers blew me away and seemed very different from other artists. He said during quarantine he learned to be able to just be with himself and say no to the constant need of being around people. He took time to focus on himself and write new music such as his brand new song, "High Tide, Low Tide."

His new single was written during quarantine and not only is it extremely catchy but it has a strong message behind it everyone should hear. The lyrics discuss how putting others first all the time can be dangerous and how you need to remember to focus on yourself and your own health. The quarantine time period taught him this lesson clear as day with relationships he's had and new relationships he's found and he's able to express that message in his lyrics such as, "my empathy is killing me," "you always pull me closer right before you push me away," and more.

Parson is extremely excited about his new mindset he's found during quarantine and the new projects he's working on. He can't wait to share them with the world so make sure you're looking out so you're not missing out. His new single "High Tide, Low Tide" is out now and you can stream it wherever and watch the new video HERE

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.

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.
