3 Bands You Should Definitely Know

stereogum.com

I love discovering new music. I love going through Spotify and seeing new music change every Friday, searching through related artists and seeing what other people are listening to. Through all my new music discoveries this week, I'm here to give you three bands you might not have heard of, but definitely should know.

1. JPNSGRLS

JPNSGRLS, pronounced "Japanese Girls", could be my favorite discovery of the week. JPNSGRLS is a Canadian garage-pop band that formed in Vancouver back in 2010. They have two full albums and an early EP. They give off a gritty vibe, with deep lyrics.

2. Beach Weather

Beach Weather is actually not a band I've recently discovered, but definitely deserve their time in the spotlight. I saw Beach Weather open for PVRIS, my favorite alternative band, and instantly fell in love. They have smooth songs, with a lot of variety and are overall, a solid core group. Their debut EP is called What A Drag.

3. MUNA

Caitlin White of Stereogum described MUNA as "a dark pop girl band from LA who have no qualms about being stubborn as hell" and I completely agree. If you're a fan of the band HAIM (which has a brighter, yet similar sound), or just love cool ladies, with good jams and a unique voice, you'll definitely want to check out MUNA. Their debut EP is called The Loudspeaker.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
