No one cares about this EP as much as I do, but I am certainly going to try and make you.

This new band, Rad Horror, recently released their first EP, "Anti Teenage Sensation pt 1" and I will forever be grateful to Spotify for recommending it to me.

The EP has 5 songs on it, each one of them while pretty sad fills me with such happy nostalgia. The songs have both a punk feel and the feeling like they would be on the soundtrack of a teen romcom movie.

"Stay Out" is the real dark song, the one with the emo undertones. It's not my favorite on the EP, but it does bring me back to being on the bus in middle school just angry about my general existence.

Yeah, that's right, your girl went hard during her emo phase.

"Dark Times" is more the punk side. It's the song you're gonna bang your head along to while you're riding the train in the morning. It's probably the only pure happy song on the EP, it's about moving past the dark times. You might lose your cool for a bit there and crack a smile during it, but it's okay.

Now the last three on the EP have a completely different feel to them. These are the romantic teen movies songs, and I am obsessed with them.

"Only When You're Lonely" is the slow dance song that probably played at the junior prom part of the movie. It's the part where the couple you've been crying over for the past hour finally kisses.

"Benzos and Cigarettes" was the very first song I heard by this band, after I first heard it I couldn't stop listening to it. The title is accurate because I sure got addicted to this band after this song. It's a feel-good song. I highly recommend it as a great shower song, but don't go too hard, you might hurt yourself.

And now the hands-down best song. Ever.

"Teenage Love."

I kid you not I have been listening to this song for four whole days and it has been the happiest four days I have had since finals.

It sounds like an old Radiohead song, that you listened to when you're driving on the highway at night after a really awesome date. You're singing on the top of your lungs, the wind in your air, everything feels amazing. This song brings me back to driving late at night with my best friends in the car.

Which is odd, because this song is more on the depressing but it fills me with a happy feeling of longing.

Irony is a beautiful thing.

Now I know none of this was that convincing but I promise you, if you listen to this EP you won't regret it.

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.

Tiana would no doubt be disappointed in the food our cafeteria has to offer.

And hopefully she would cook for everyone in her dorm.

She definitley would not take any 8:00 am classes because she would be up late baking and cleaning up the communal kitchen that are available in every dorm.
