Watch out college students: that dreaded word “GPA” will haunt you even after high school.
Now, I don’t know what the rest of college students were told within their first two years at a college, but for me, I remember very distinctly that my cumulative college GPA would matter to potential employers as much as what my degree was and where I attended.

Listening to Corrine Bailey Rae’s voice reminds me of someone you could find in a jazz club in the 1930s, with the perfect mix of blues and soul.
The British singer/songwriter’s second album The Sea, was released last month and departs from the bubbly and carefree feel of her first self-titled album. It is only natural that this album has a slightly melancholy feel, as Rae’s husband tragically died in 2008. Rae does not dwell on the sadness though– this album also has a lot of mentions of hope and love.
