5 Reasons Why Spotify Is Better Than iTunes

5 Reasons Why Spotify Is Better Than iTunes

I love music. I love all genres of music. I am probably listening to music 18 of the 24 hours in a day. I have playlists for everything; studying, sleeping, working out, relaxing, dancing, singing, driving, and more. You could say I'm obsessed.

I made the switch from iTunes to Spotify last year, and let me tell you, the changes are ridiculous. iTunes is dead when it comes to music. Here is why Spotify is so much better and a whole lot more practical:

1. Cost

The cost for Spotify premium is around $10 per month; $4.99 per month for college students.

Let's say you buy one album on iTunes per month. That's around $12 for 13 songs. So you can have 13 songs for $12 or over four million songs for $10 a month at most... do the math.

2. Effort

Let's be honest, iTunes' newest update is confusing. You can't find the shuffle, the repeat, nothing. Spotify you can search things and create playlists within minutes; seconds, even. There is no effort involved.

3. Practicality

The vast majority of music these days is popular for a month or two, then it will fade and become "so annoying." Why would you pay $1.29 for something that will eventually get on your nerves? Instead, you can have those songs while they're hot, then never have to hear them again and be on to the next craze.

4. Music Discovery

Spotify gives you a playlist every week of music it thinks you will like based on the music you already have. You can also follow your friends and see what they are listening to and find new music to listen to.

5. All Around Quality

I love Spotify; you can save your playlists and listen to them wherever, whenever, with data, WiFi, or nothing at all. You never have to worry about them getting deleted, you can access it from any phone or computer, and you don't have to put in a password every time you want a new song. You can listen to old music one time and never have to go back, or you can reminisce on the daily.

iTunes isn't even an option anymore, Spotify is where its at.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

friends

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions. The show that gave generations unrealistic expectations about love (or should I say lobsters?) and New York City apartments had a charming cast of characters that everyone could relate to at some point or another. Here are 17 times Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel accurately described life.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.

1. When your advisor tells you that you should declare a major soon.

2. Seeing the lost and confused freshmen and remembering that was you a short year ago, and now being grateful you know the ins and outs of the campus.

3. Going to the involvement fair to sign up for more clubs knowing that you are already too involved.

4. When you actually do the reading required for the first class.

5. Seeing your friends for the first time since last semester.

6. When you're already drowning in homework during syllabus week.

7. Realizing you don't have the same excitement for classes as you did as a freshman.

8. Going home and seeing people from high school gets weirder the older you get.
