Having your music on shuffle can often be a tossup: you’re either gonna get a steady stream of good tunes that flow nicely from one to the next or a random smattering of songs, none of which you’re in the mood to hear. The latter (for me at least) happens way more often. It’s when my music is on shuffle, however, that I can figure out which songs are at the top of my long list of favorites. Here’s a list of songs that I can never skip over—and that you all should check out if you’re looking for new artists to get into!

1. Blue Boy - Mac Demarco

2. This Guy's In Love With You - Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass

I am very sappy and no matter what mood I'm in, this song is welcome to my ears.

3. Magic Spells - Crystal Castles

4. Walking On a Dream - Empire of the Sun

I heard this one at the Akron Marathon this past Saturday and it got me super pumped to start running (also I was just excited because they played a song I knew and liked)!

5. Gone Beyond - Bobby Birdman

6. Telephone Line - Electric Light Orchestra (ELO)

7. Shiny Things - Fanfarlo

8. Somebody That I Used to Know (feat. Kimbra) - Gotye

This was my (and everybody's) jam during my junior year of high school. I always heard it in art class, so now all I can think of is frantically asking my fellow artists if they knew what it was called. I don't think Shazam was a thing yet!

9. Jackie and Wilson - Hozier

10. One Day (At a Time) - John Lennon

11. Human - The Killers

I distinctly remember my cousin showing me this song around New Years (2008?), right after I'd gotten my purple 4th gen iPod nano for Christmas; I loved it and it was one of the first to be added to my music libary.

12. Everybody Wants to Rule the World - Tears for Fears

13. Cherry Pepsi - SAINT PEPSI

Remember the aesthetics article I wrote where I mentioned vaporwave? This is one of those songs. IT'S VERY CATCHY.

Of course, there's loads more that I'm never able to pass up in shuffle but, alas, it is week 5 and I have many an assignment to tend to. Maybe I'll follow up in the future, so look out for another list of great tunes!

1. When course schedules are released and you have a conflict between two required classes.

Bonus points if it is more than two.

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

As an English Major in college, I have a lot of writing and especially creative writing pieces that I work on throughout the semester and sometimes, I'll find it hard to get the motivation to type a few pages and the thought process that goes behind it. These are eleven thoughts that I have as a writer while writing my stories.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
