Second Best

A band based out of Saginaw Michigan has a sound that can be described as emotional rock. Their debut EP Outgrown is available on iTunes, and Spotify. One of my personal favorites is 'Clarity.' Front man Eric Maul says "A lot of our inspiration for our songs comes from real life experiences. Our writing process is a collective effort. What we put on paper is real, We've lived the words we've written our music is a reflection of ourselves." Maul goes on to describe Second Best as "A group of guys eating pizza and trying to make sense of a confusing world and our songs are Spotify of what we've learned so far." The video for their video 'Vacancy' is set to come out this October while new music is on the way this fall/winter.

Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
