Music Mania Friday

The first song was a vague suggestion, but I didn't have a particular favorite, so I picked the less sad one.

Song: Dear No One by Tori Kelly

I got myself obsessed with this song over the past week, so I thought I'd share.

Song: Fire N Gold by Bea Miller

This is a song that is very much underrated, but I like underrated songs. I happen to love this one.

Song: One Day At a Time by Cody Longo

Anon: I can't seem to keep up with all the work that's being given these days; it's all too much! What should I do?




War Hawk Advisor: This is the end of the school year. In which YOU are living. In YOUR life. So do whatever you want. Rip up the homework, hand in bread as the final product of your latest project. All they would be able to do is give you a terrible grade on your report card, and you can just rip up that too. YOLO, am I right?

The first song is a song that I think is a really good one, but everyone has different tastes in music.

Song: One Wish by Fifth Harmony

This is a particularly popular song right now, and I think some of you probably are already aware.

Song: Problem by Ariana Grande

Seeing as this is turning out to be an all-girls post, why not another? Beautiful song, it really is.

Song: Catch Me by Demi Lovato

Anon: I really dislike the new power couple in school, but everyone else worships them. I don't want to be the odd one out. What do I do?





War Hawk Advisor: Don't be afraid to speak your mind, even if it is dislike. Chances are, the new couple won't last too long. However, if you are really concerned, you might as well drop a pie on their head every time they walk into class TOGETHER, so they realize that as long as they are alone, they'll be pie-free. Works every time.

Music Mania Friday

This first song never fails to raise my spirits, but I must warn you, there are a few cuss words in it. Nothing that's incredibly horrifying, but just as a warning.

Song: The Fighter by Gym Class Heroes Feat. Ryan Tedder

This next song is quite underrated, as most good songs are. Of course, this is my opinion. Listen to it for yourself.

Song: Awake by Secondhand Serenade

Last but not least, this is one of my favorite songs(I have a lot). I believe that she is an amazing vocalist, and not only that, but the lyrics are powerful. 

Song: Dark Side by Kelly Clarkson

Anon: I think that someone has been cheating off my tests, and I worked really hard to get good grades. What should I do?





War Hawk Advisor: Get two scantrons and use one as a fake and the other as your own. Leave the fake within seeing distance and watch the suspected cheater. If they start copying you, yell "CHEATER" as loud as you can, and rip up their scantron. Replace it with your fake one, and say "You would've gotten a zero either way." You may then proceed to snap your fingers and walk out of the school with all the sass in the world.
