What is happening to this world?

16 Things 2016 Brutally Murdered
Kenny Kemp

2016 is a little over halfway over. It's been a crazy ride honestly. Unfortunately during these past few months this year, which we thought would be the best ones yet, have killed so many of the things we love. Here is a look back at 16 things that this year has brutally murdered so far.

1. Harambe

R.I.P. my dude. You will always be our beloved gorilla. You are our inspiration, our muse, our homie in the jungle who was taken from us too soon. What can I say Harambe? The stupid Zoo took you away from us, but we will mourn you for the rest of our days. Ily bro rest in peace </3

2. Panthers Super Bowl Dream


The heart breaking moment. Everyone in Charlotte believed. They dreamt of Cam and Luke dancing with rings on their hands at night. They prayed every Sunday for God to send them this blessing. They needed a W because for far too long they've been plagued with L's. You thought it was in the bag. You thought there is no way that old dude Peyton could win another one, but y'all thought wrong. Lol better luck next year (JK Who Dat losers).

3. Credit Scores and Debt Free Lives

Seriously what in the heck is up with these horrendous college prices. I'm sorry but why in the hell am I paying a 5,000% markup for the SAME EXACT MAJOR AT THE SAME EXACT UNIVERSITY THAT MY MOTHER WENT TO. This is ridiculous and you idiotic congress people need to get in check and fix this crap because there is no need for me to pay a 5,000% mark up when we all know the dollar has not inflated by 5,000% since the early 90's. Also why are textbooks costing me my first born and the blood of 12 virgins. Straight up dumb.

4. OKC Thunder ever winning again


Kevin Durant left and so did Oklahoma's hopes for happiness and a blessed season next year. I mean you have Westbrook, but until I see him take over KD's restaurant and make it Brussel Sprout themed, there is no hope. Sorry pals.

5. A Happy 2017-2020 Time Period


Seriously. Out of all the people that were running we get stuck with Trump and Hillary. WHAT THE HECK AMERICA. I'm not mad at you, I'm just disappointed in you because you are stupid. Good news though is Gary Johnson, our last string of hope. Also he is actually really good so vote for him and lets shake things up.

6. Pokemon GO!

Many of y'all might think that Pokemon Go has revived the Pokemon world but y'all thought wrong. I am just trying to buy a cheap version of Pokemon Leaf Green for Gameboy Advanced SP so that I can relive my childhood, but no, this stupid game has caused the price of simple and enjoyable past time to skyrocket. Plus, you actually have to walk everywhere for this game and that's stupid.

7. Chick-fil-A Sauces

In case you missed it I wrote an entire article on this epidemic because that's how passionate I am about it. I'm still bitter if you can't tell.

8. Olympic Gold Medals

I don't even know why other countries bothered to show up the Rio Games because America is number one and we will win all the golds, so go home and try again in 2020.

9. Taylor Swift

This little slithery snake has been caught, trapped, and shown to the world. She may want to be excluded from this narrative that she never asked to be apart of since 2009, but tough luck Taylor, you started this stupid drama and now you have to live with the consequences.

10. Full House

Fuller House is a straight up disaster and must be stopped. The show sucks and it is ruining the good name of Full House. Stop trying to make this happen because it is dumb.

11. The Rap Industry

Who let DJ Khaled out of his cage because I have some issues with you. 1. His new songs are crap, 2. His songs are terrible, 3. He is bringing Drake down with him.

12. That One Girl

Remember when Beyonce sang about Becky with the good hair. Yeah, that girl is done for. Also the cult of Beyonce followers straight up trashed poor Rachael Ray because they thought she was Rachel Roy. Terrible accident. RIP Becky and Rachael Ray.

13. Good Dreams

Have you seen the new horror movies out there recently? There is a demonic nun running around and I have had nightmares ever since. This is getting out of hand and I need Hollywood to go back to making movies like Nightmare on Elm street because there's no chance of Freddy Krueger hiding out under my bed, but a demonic nun is entirely possible.

14. Instagram

They made this crazy new feature about a story that only lasts for 24 hours, except that is exactly what Snapchat does. Instagram, you're being ridiculous.

15. Cheap Concert Tickets

Y'all seen the prices to go see Beyonce or Adele? Straight up highway robbery.

16. Harambe (again)

Let my dude rest in peace and stop making jokes and memes about him. It isn't funny.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college 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.
