10 Reasons To Love Chance The Rapper

Mr. Chancellor Johnathan Bennett, my idol, and my king, this one is for you. Lets just say that my obsession with him goes too far back to date, and this list is long overdo

1.His originality- Have you really heard anything like it? No. His latest album hits at an array of topics so wide and vast I could get lost in it's abyss for hours. It's timeless.

2.His music is free- As once said in his interview with vanity fair, Chance said, "I never wanted to sell my music, because I thought putting a price on it put a limit on it and inhibited me from making a connection.” He doesn't release his music for the money because, to him, its not about the money. It's about TRULY using his voice and expressing what he really believes to be true.

3. His willingness to express himself and what he believes is right- He actively endorsed Hilary Clinton during the election, and continues to advocate for the Black Lives Matter movement.This day in age many celebrities chose not to express their opinion simply because of the backlash it leads to. Whenever something big come up on the news, Chance is almost always one to speak his mind, and I will forever applaud him for that.


4. His confidence- We've all heard "No Problems." The fact that he so tastefully called out record labels for trying to mess with him in a song, speaks volumes. I can barely correct a teacher when they spell my name wrong, nonetheless, write a whole song depicting my anger around the subject.


5. His love for his daughter- honestly how darling, need I say more?


6. His sincerity- Chance got his start off an album he wrote from when he was suspended in high school. He's written about his recovery from his addiction. It doesn't get more genuine and real than that. He's always preaching growth and the practice of bettering yourself. He's never one to flaunt perfection but to embrace his journey.

7. His personality- I mean come on, this one doesn't require a lot of explanation either. He's donated 1 million dollars to a school, he's always confessing his love for his daughter on the daily, and we’ve all seen the gif of him freaking over Beyonce; he's a goofy, music loving icon thats slowly taking over the world one album at a time.

8.His sense of purpose- Being that he doesn't put a price on his music, it really shows that he's not just creating for the money but for the true purpose of getting his voice out there.

9. His music (duh)- Album after album, he never seizes to impress and create something new that reaches out and touches people around the world. His recent, gospel inspired album will uplift your mind, and booty while you shake it on the dance floor.

10. His growth- After watching him go from soundcloud mixtapes to sold out arenas, how much more real does it get? And without even being signed to a record deal, the epitome of hardwork and dedication. He chose to take his own route and, I personally, find it incredibly inspiring to see him grow and prove that the conventional way isn't always the only way.

If there's ever anyone in this world who I choose to love more than myself (or my mom) it would be Chance.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
