5 Songs For When You Need A Change Of Musical Scenery

Do you ever find yourself skipping through your playlist endlessly, never finding a song you want to listen to? Even though you hand-picked all the songs on there? Or, even worse, you ran out of skips and had to sit through songs you just were not in the mood for? Believe me, I am in that position every single day. Sometimes, all you need is a new song that will change up your mood or will keep you wanting more in order to get to that next song. Here are five songs I listen to all the time that keep me beyond entertained.

"Fiancé" - Mino

mino

This song off of Korean rapper's first solo album, "XX", combines hypnotizing strings and powerful synth effects to create a totally jam-able rap tune. I know that when I first heard this song, I was thrown for a loop. It wasn't at all what I expected, and it is a song I never get tired of.

"The Joke" - Brandi Carlile

Brandi Carlile's "The Joke" is a powerful, well-organized folk-rock song, which uses the intensity of its lyrics and Carlile's vocals to push the message. As someone who really is not into country music at all, this song impresses me without fail every time. It makes me emotional, encourages me, and reminds me that even though the world we live in today is falling, we should not give up and we should still strive to be our own selves.

"Dazed & Confused" - Ruel

This soulful gem of a song is one I can belt in my car any day. Young artist Ruel has a huge talent for releasing catchy songs. This song is one I think everyone can relate to and I definitely have it on my current top ten list for favorite songs.

"you should see me in a crown" - Billie Eilish

I first found this song when watching a dance video and was absolutely stunned by how different it was. Billie Eilish includes deep bass, heavy electronics, and her mellow alto voice to captivate listeners. I think it is really interesting to hear this song and listen to how many genres can be found. While I don't necessarily sing every word to this song, it definitely makes me want to dance.

"Waste It On Me" - Steve Aoki feat. BTS

BTS

A song from one of the top producers and DJs in America and some of the members from the number one boy band in the world is bound to be a good one. This song, which is a very EDM, energetic bop, makes you want to sing along every time. It's easy to listen to and is great for driving around on a beautiful morning or studying for an exam.

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. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

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.
