By stripping the song down to its core you can fully appreciate it for what it was meant to be.

On October 19th, Soccer Mommy (aka Sophie Allison) is releasing her new 7" in two versions. There is the limited edition red smoke vinyl with only 500 copies available and then the regular black vinyl. But no matter which copy you get your hands on, the 7" will contain a re-worked version of her song "Henry" off of her "For Young Hearts" collection on its A-side. Then there will be a cover of Bruce Springsteen's song "I'm On Fire" on its B-side. You can grab your copy of Soccer Mommy's Henry/I'm On Fire 7" from Fat Possum Records here.

Allison re-worked "Henry" but didn't change it in any drastic ways. The only major difference is that it has been slowed down. The same can be said for her cover of "I'm On Fire." She changed Springsteen's song into a song that is much rawer and emotional. Allison does this because she "wanted to make a version of 'I'm On Fire' that connected with the sadness of the song." By stripping the song down to its core you can fully appreciate it for what it was meant to be. If you didn't know any better you could believe that this was just another one of Soccer Mommy's songs since the lyrics fit so cleanly into her "chill but sad" style which she defines herself as on her Bandcamp. It's no wonder this cover was a fan favorite whenever Allison performed it on tour.

To hear the difference between songs you can click here for Springsteen's version and here to listen to Allison's cover. And while you wait for your copy of the 7" you can listen to "Henry" here. Soccer Mommy will also be on tour until February 2019.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective.
