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.

Watercolor Weekend a band based out of Santa Cruz California. An indie rock band with influences of pop, reggae, and folk with a unique flare that can only be described as audible watercolors. Their inspiration comes from philosophy and our everyday choices we make as human beings. "Everyday lives and emotions, we make try to make our lyrics meaningful but catchy. When our songs are analyzed we want to make our audience think." Cowriter and Trombonist Nicholas McElmurry talking about their latest album Strange, Strange Days at Sea. McElmurry goes on to say "We're super excited about this new music we've just released! We spent months in the studio writing and recording so all of the positive feedback is something we're all really proud of." Off of the Strange, Strange Days at Sea album my favorite song "Alien Oceans." Watercolor Weekend is available on iTunes and Spotify.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.
