I recently have spent some time exploring different music thanks to Spotify. It's been fun and doesn't impeded on my work time as I can listen and explore while also being productive. During this time of exploration I have found some pretty cool artists and would be remiss if I didn't let the world know all about them. Here are some of the newest artists I am obsessed with on Spotify these days.

1. Wolf Alice

This band out of North London has a diverse sound that enraptures. With songs that range from grunge rock to electronic, you never know what combination they will put out and that's the fun of it all. Their song "Beautifully Unconventional" is a must listen.

2. Portishead

Formed in Bristol, England, this band has a unique, haunting, sound that is accentuated by the breathy yet powerful voice lead singer, Beth Gibbons possesses. Popular in the 1990s, their must listens include "Sour Times" and "Glorybox" and from there you might just find yourself hooked.

3. Esperanza Spalding

I was aware of Esperanza Spalding prior to listening to her. I have always been a Corinne Bailey Rae fan and Spalding is in the same vein as Rae, making me aware I needed to check her out. Spaulding has an addictive jazzy blues sound that reels you in, and once you're there you will only want more. "I Know You Know" is a great starter song, and from there, explore.

4. Wu-Tang Clan

Another band I was always aware I needed to listen to, but never had the time until I heard them on a Snoop Dog/Dr. Dre inspired playlist. Once I had a listen I decided to listen to a whole lot more. With that classic gangster rap sound and fantastic rhythms, Wu-Tang Clan has always been iconic, and will continue to be. "Shame on a N*gga" is one of my favorites and one to try out for sure.

5. Joshua James

An indie folk rock artist, Joshua James has a bluesy voice with a touch of gravel, and a good repertoire mostly undiscovered. Worth a listen on a cool rainy day, "Broken Tongue" is James' best song to try out.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.

11 Ways To Live The Best Life You Can

Life is full of twists and turns, but you have to keep going.

Sam Houston State University

Life is all about twist and turns, sideways and which ways. Nothing is permanent, so we should take risks, and chase our dreams. We are taught at a young age many lessons that will follow us into adulthood. What we aren't taught is how to feel, and how we handle those emotions. We just have to figure them out ourselves, and that's not fun. In my 21 years of living, I have come to know that way too many people can't handle emotions, or the fact that not everyone is dead inside like them. When you're like me, and you have zero control over your emotions, it's hard to feel comfortable around people who aren't so in touch with themselves. As much as I would like to feel nothing at times, I've accepted who I am and the fact that I can cry over practically nothing. So, there are some things in life that you just have to do.

The world is not always sunshine and rainbows, and you do not have to be, either.

It would be so much easier to just pay someone to do it for you

1. Figuring out when to start

2. Searching through list after list to get everything you need

3. Shopping for deals

4. Getting bins to put everything in

5. Figuring what you can’t live without

6. Going through clothes to find what you need

7. Finding out your siblings took something from you

8. Fighting with your parents.

9. Trying to plan things with your roommate

10. The fear of forgetting something

11. Move in day

Relatable moments from one of the best shows I have ever watched.

1. When you fail that midterm you studied so hard for.

2. When your crush finally texts back.

3. When payday comes around.

4. When you accidentally like someone's picture from 108 weeks ago.

5. When someone takes your unassigned assigned seat.

6. When your favorite character in your favorite TV series dies.

7. When that guy/girl you’ve been crushing on agrees to go on a date with you.

8. When you have so much to do, and such little motivation to do it.

9. When someone asks for your last fry.

10. When you try a new health-food craze.

11. When you get new clothing.

12. When you check your bank account.

13. When they're serving good food in the dining hall.

14. When someone tries to tell you what to do.

15. Or just your thoughts about life in general.

We all have that "I don't care" attitude.

1. Most students just take life day by day.

2. That means procrastinating, one day at a time.

3. College students don't mind dressing like crap sometimes.

4. In fact, dressing nice feels weird.

5. College students get so stressed that they contemplate dropping on a daily basis.

6. But most find another solution to deal with that stress.

7. And that solution can be pretty cheap. Anything over $5 is expensive.

8. One of the only things college students will spend money on is coffee.

9. College is just really expensive and you never forget how expensive it is.

10. But hey, we're getting a somewhat high-quality education, right?

11. We all really just want to pet dogs all day.

12. And eat pizza for every meal.

13. And stab the next person who asks us what we want to do with our life.

14. However, despite the stress and student loans, college is amazing and there's plenty of reasons to smile.

Thank you, April, for inspiring us with your wicked relatability.

Life is full of twists and turns, but you have to keep going.

1. Wallow.

2. Cry.

3. Get Angry.

4. Tell Someone You Love Them.

5. Forgive.

6. Let go of the negative people in your life.

7. Be yourself.

8. Swallow Your Pride.

9. Stop Freaking Out Over Your Body.

10. Say No.

11. Accept Love.
