Spotify Vs. Apple Music

Which is the better music streaming service?

Spotify Vs. Apple Music

There has been one certain question on a lot of people's minds lately about two music streaming services: Spotify and Apple Music. I personally prefer Spotify over Apple Music, but some people are still debating whether to make the switch to either company. Here are some of the details that are compared between the two:

Music Library

Spotify advertises that they have over 30 million songs to choose from (minus songs of course from artists like Taylor Swift), and Apple Music says they have around 30 million. However, Apple Music does include Taylor Swift, so since she has such a huge fan base, that one factor can shift one's choice.

New Music Choices

Spotify has an option called "Discover Weekly", which is a playlist updated every Monday of songs that have been personalized by songs previously listened to on Spotify. Apple Music does a similar thing, where when a user first creates an account, they are asked to name some of their favorite artists and this makes suggestions for them too. However, this sounds a little bit too much like what Pandora does.

Radio

A similar feature that Pandora has that these services are using is a radio. On Spotify, users can choose to listen to a station of music that is similar to a specific artist, and it will make a huge playlist of songs and artists that the user can choose from. On Apple Music, they only have exact stations by specific DJs that are playing 24/7, and you can't choose the music like you can on Spotify.

Price

Ah price, a very important factor. Apple Music and Spotify is the same price at $10 a month, However, Spotify does offer a special to students that if they use their student email address, it is only $5 a month. Apple Music also has a family deal for $15 a month that can include up to 6 accounts in a package.

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.
