Let me tell you about the worst presentation of my life. It was my senior year in college and in order to get credit for an internship, I was enrolled in a seminar-style class to learn how to make the most of the experience. Twenty percent of the final grade was comprised of a group […]
One of the albums I’m looking forward to this summer DNA by Little Mix. This is essentially the girl version of OneDirection. Like 1D, the majority of their songs focus on love. Jade, Jesy, Perrie, and Leigh-Anne can sing really, really well, although they sometimes come across like carbon copies of other pop artists. Softer tracks like […]

The problem is finding the channels that make you go “wow!”Today I list nine artists (and nine songs) that fit that criteria. Some of these artists you might have seen before. Some I guarantee you haven’t. Their […]
