It’s the moment we have all been waiting for.

The notorious Red Hot Chili Peppers are back and better than ever.

The world is being #blessed with another album after five years of waiting.

On Thursday, "Dark Necessities," the second track on the album, was gifted to the public.

With Flea’s mesmerizing bass and Kiedis’ smooth vocals, the track is everything we could have hoped for.

With the ever wavering sound of this guiding group, the sound of this album in its entirety could be anywhere from "Mother’s Milk" to "Stadium Arcadium." Honestly, who knows?

The LP was produced by Danger Mouse and mixed by Radiohead producer and long-time collaborator, Nigel Godrich.

It’s gonna be golden.

"The Getaway" Track List:

1. "The Getaway"

2. "Dark Necessities"

3. "We Turn Red"

4. "The Longest Wave"

5. "Goodbye Angels"

6. "Sick Love"

7. "Go Robot"

8. "Feasting on the Flower"

9. "Detroit"

10. "This Ticonderoga"

11. "Encore"

12. "The Hunter"

13. "Dreams of a Samurai"

It has been ages since this group released a studio album and we have been getting anxious. One reason for this delay had to do with the fact that bassist, Flea, went snowboarding and broke his arm when they were supposed to start recording. Ballers gonna ball and Flea went and did just that. Hoop number one: one-armed bassist.

Hoop number two emerged shortly thereafter. Though the group wrote 20-30 songs pre-recording time, Brian Burton of Danger Mouse, told them to scrap it and start fresh. Burton, being the producer, had the final say in the matter, though it caused some distress among the group.

Though there was some initial pushback, trust in the producer was the most important, so Kiedis & Co. caved and tried it out. We will just have to wait and see what the combination of artists comes up with.

The group will be touring in Europe for the summer along with a few dates in the U.S. in California and Ohio, you lucky Buckeyes, you.

The album is expected to be released on June 17.

Stay tuned.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
