OUR UTOPIA - by Damola Olagunju Music. Music doesn’t just sing to the ears It dances with the soul We connect with the type of music we listen to in some way We find ways to imagine and relate with the songs we love Everyone fancies a type of music It could be the sounds your feet makes as it fights the ground that makes you want to dance Or the annoying sounds flies make when buzzing around you It could be the soothing sounds of the wind as they ignore but disturb the trees. Music doesn’t have to have lyrics to amuse you I don’t think there is a thing as a meaningless song A song could be chanting gibberish for all I care As long as it gets my soul grooving It is Music.

So, I've graduated, now what? I mean, from High School, not college, mind you. I've still got about five ears to do that, so no worries. It's been one semester in college and this is wh The good, the bad, and the very questionable, I can't believe this happened, but I better well get through it with God part. I call it part, because I couldn't end that with - able. So, a few lessons picked up by me in these last few months that I'd like to share with you; 1. Never leave food over night in your back pack. It's going to spill everywhere, and cause a mess, and your bag will smell like rotten rice for a week, and you won't be able to turn in your homework. Just, don't do it. Bad, overall bad.

Alessia Caraciollo,  known by Alessia Cara, the name we've all come to love her by is turning twenty one today and the pop star from Missisauga has gone a long way from you tube videos to releasing her first album. The down-to-earth, and relatable now legal adult, with the loved voice impersonations, released her album Know-it-all two years ago and has gotten a massive amount of  feedback on it. Her album touched deeply on the teen experience and took emotions, personal experiences, things that we'd all dealt with at some point or another and turned it into this playlist of songs you had to listen to on repeat, because of how much you felt it. Not to mention her beautiful voice, for those of us who are obsessed! Since then, it's  been uphill for her.We realize it's been quite a journey for the twenty one year old and would like to commemorate her day with something to inspire teens, inspired by her mission to spread a message through her music. So, we talked to

 Podcasts are starting to 'pop'  up everywhere and have been for a while now. What with all the podcasts available and the cool people who host them, there's too much out there to pick from. The question isn't will we listen to the podcasts, but which ones do we listen to?  Usocietie is here bringing you a list of six mind-blowing podcasts you definitely need to check out!   The Friend Zone - 'Dustin is a playboy. Assante is twiterless. Fran has no television. Welcome to The Friend Zone.' The intro, taken from Fran's website 'Hey, Fran, Hey!' describes behind this gem of a podcast perfectly.
