The Top 5 Songs Written by The 1975
USA Today

This Manchester band, comprised of Matty Healy, Adam Hann, George Daniel, and Ross MacDonald, has taken the pop alternative world by storm. USA Today shared, "The band combines the dark and youthful themes of sex, love, and fear with ethereal alt-rock music." Fun fact: the interesting name "The 1975" came about after lead singer Matty found a journal where the writer would put 'the' in front of the year (example: June 22, the 1975). This band has changed the way I view music and the world, just listening to them in interviews draws you in and challenges you mentally. They're one of the few bands that I can relate to every song and feel as though I'm connected to them somehow. Here are my top five songs, from my top favorite band.

5. "Somebody Else"

This song was one of my least favorites when the album was first released, but when I took the time to actually listen to the song, it reminded me of my own past experiences, and the beat combined with the lyrics makes a great tune.

4. "The City"

The happy-go-lucky beat makes it an easy listen, but what attracts me to this song is that even though the beat sounds happy, the lyrics are somber and talk about how love can be hard to find or hard to get to -- like a city.

3. "Chocolate"

This is probably the band's most mainstream song, but it is undeniably one of the catchiest and that's why it's one of my favorites. It's always a song that I can put on and instantly feel happier.

2. "The Sound"

This has been one of my favorite songs of the album since day one. It is just the perfect breakup song because you can be so connected to someone and have them "know the sound of your heart", but they are bad for you. The instrumental sequences of the song just makes you wanna drive with all the windows down.

1. "If I Believe You"

Without a doubt one of my favorite songs of all time. This ballad of their second album can just make you cry from the moment it starts playing. It's an anthem for friendships (@oliviastevens @audreyanello), relationships, and everything that goes on in life. This is also probably the band's best song live, from the lights to instruments to the choir they bring out.

Now I'm going to just play these 5 songs on repeat for the next day.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!
