What is Comm. Ave listening to?

There is nothing more awkward than the walk down Comm. Ave. You pass a plethora of faces, some you recognize and say “hi” to, and others you don’t and can ignore without guilt.

But the real problems begin with those faces you somehow recognize from the depths of Mugar, the darkest corners of the GSU, or the back of a lecture. The faces which haunt this daily stroll and make it a social nightmare for the best of us.

So what is the answer to this age-old dilemma? Obviously, plug in those headphones and ignore all forms of life until you are in the safety of Central Campus.

We decided to interview some students about their favorite song to zone you out to on Comm Ave.

Don’t Tell ‘Em (feat. YG) – Jeremih

Tienes la Sonrisa (feat. Ñejo) – Lil Silvio & El Vega

Keep Ya Head Up – 2Pac

“Makes me motivated to keep going. Even though I’m not who he’s singing about, it keeps me motivated to get through the day, like I’m in my own little world. Music is a way to stay in that little world with so many people.”

“I play the guitar so I like listening to songs with good riffs, good songs, melodious tunes. Really gives me a kick in the morning.”
