For those of you that haven't been blessed to know the existence of Mac Demarco, he is a Canadian singer-songwriter classified in the "indie-rock" genre. I first discovered him at the beginning of the summer and the first song I listened to is called "Chamber of Reflection", which is his most popular one. That is one of my favorite songs, but I want to let the world know about many of his not so popular songs, that are unique in their own way. If you do know Mac, you probably do know "Chamber of Reflection" or even "Ode to Viceroy". I'm here to unleash a few songs that you might have never heard of and will be music to your ears.

1. "Freaking Out The Neighborhood"

"Freaking Out The Neighborhood" is off of Mac's '2' album. The intro is so groovy and gives me total ~70s~ vibes. The guitar throughout the song and the drums that come in during the verses make me bop my head until it falls off. Guaranteed to make you get up and bust a calm move! (Don't go too hard though)

2. "Passing Out Pieces"

"Passing Out Pieces" is off of Mac's 2014 album, "Salad Days". This is a song I look at the window to when I'm in the car or traveling long distance. I think about life and make sure nobody takes advantage of me..."passing out pieces of me, don't you know nothing comes free?" I think this song is enjoyable because everyone can relate to it and it has a funky beat.

3. "Without Me"

OK, seriously, if you haven't heard this song, open up Spotify and listen to it once, twice, three times...just keep it on replay. The first time I heard Without Me, off of Mac's album "Another One", I cried. Yup. It's such a sad song and will get you in your feels, but it is so WORTH IT... "Will she love me again tomorrow? I don't know, don't think so, and that's fine, fine by me
as long as, long as I know she's happy, happy." UGH!!

4. "Peperroni Playboy"

This song is off of the "Salad Days" demos, and I never thought I would like it or be obsessed with it...because it has no lyrics. I put this song on when I'm laying in bed or when I need a tune to keep me going while studying. I'm pretty sure it was supposed to be the beat of a song but was never actually released. Anyway, give it a listen and let the song to the talking...even though there are no lyrics. Use your imagination!!

There you have it. I hope you fall in love with Mac Demarco as much as I did when I first gave him a listen. Enjoy!

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!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
