Top 8 Indie/Folk Songs
Indie Folk

I love music, especially classic rock and indie/folk! So, I went through my Pandora likes, Spotify playlists, and even my ITunes most played and compiled a list! Here are my Top 8 indie/folk songs at the moment!


8. Believe- Mumford and Sons

Mumford and Sons is an iconic band, and has been since I was in high school and "Little Lion Man" was all the rage. Over the summer I went to a concert and was happy to find hundreds of other people who were just as passionate about these guys as I am!


7. There's A Place- The All American Rejects

Totally out of character for this band, but nevertheless brilliant. give it a listen!

6. Cherry Wine- Hozier


To be honest, Hozier repeats on the radio during my commute to home so much, it starts to grate my nerves a bit. However, when I hear a song like "Cherry Wine".. I can't help but replay it!

5. Best That I Can- Vance Joy

I could pretty much list all of Vance Joy's songs here, but "Best That I Can" is definitely a stand out. It is absolutely brilliant!

4. I Can't Go On Without You- Kaleo

Kaleo is an underground indie/folk band from Iceland. They have stunning music videos, an incredible sound and very unique vocals. If you like anything on this list, you'll probably appreciate them!

3. Give me Something- Seafret

This song is the kind of chilling that makes you want to stand on a windy mountainside, overlooking the overcast scenery with a thoughtful expression. That is to say, it's one of the most inspiring songs I've ever heard.

2. Angela- The Lumineers

It was extremely hard to pick a Lumineers song, however, "Angela" is one of my most listened to as of late. I have also seen The Lumineers live, and it was one of the best nights of my life, and definitely the best concert I've ever been to. (Wesley Schultz grabbed my hand!) In any case, if you haven't heard of them or their new album, "Cleopatra", you need to reevaluate your life choices and listen to them immediately.

1. Childhood Ghosts- Joseph Charles Mettler

Joseph Mettler is a member of the band "Rabbit in the Rye", which is also one of my favorite bands, but I wanted to cite this song in particular, which is a solo piece by him. Joe also happens to be my neighbor, and I have known the family for most of my life. Personal relationships aside, I still have to cite "Childhood Ghosts" as my most listened to song lately, as well as the rest of "The Rabbit in The Rye's" music. If you enjoy anything on this list, check them out! You won't regret it! http://www.j-mettler.com/music/ http://www.rabbitintherye.com/

27 Things 'The Office' Has Taught Us

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.

One Book Made Me Question Existence In Its Entirety

"The Stranger" by Albert Campus touches upon many heavy elements... but not in the way you expect. Although it touches upon the aspects of death and love, it also deals with a hidden philosophy similar to that of nihilism.

The story follows the short life events of Meursault, a Frenchman whose carelessness for his actions eventually ends him in jail and dependent on a jury of people to judge the ethicality of his decision and the punishment that he deserves. He eventually gets the death penalty and all throughout he is nonchalant and almost apathetic towards his situation. He finally snaps when the prison sends a priest to him to absolve him of his sins and to cajole him in confessing to the lord.

CIS Markets

Coming from someone majoring in business at a school that thrives off of business majors, I know how rough it can be sometimes. Being a business major can be awesome, and awful, simultaneously. We work our tails off to be the best, but sometimes the stress can just tear you apart. Here are some struggles faced by business majors that will sound all too familiar.
