Jermaine Cole also known as J. Cole added his fourth effort with his highly anticipated album released on December 9, 2016. His latest projects comes two years after his highly respected Forest Hills Drive which was the first hip-hop album with no features to achieve platinum status since 1990. 4 Your Eyez Only is projected to be Cole’s highest rated album as far as sales goes. Cole is projected to sell half a million copies in it's first week release making his new creation achieve gold status by the RIAA.

With the new release, Cole gets deeper than usual. Jermaine has always been one of the few rappers in the game to push the status quo. On the new masterpiece Cole does just that but he tests the water in newer ways that very few rappers in today’s age will. He goes above and beyond on Eyez with his heart touching tracks that add more personal feeling on this album. Cole touches on an array of subjects from growing up without an father, police brutality, and treating women better overall .

It seems that Cole will make it to the #1 spot again and which he will soon join great company with DMX and Drake as the only rap artists to see their first four studio albums reach #1 on the Billboard 200. Cole stretches for perfection on this album after a long 2 year break. The fans couldn’t wait to get on apple music to hear the album. Cole has stated that this album was influenced by the death of a friend who left a daughter behind. He made sure the story was told from a very high prospective. J. Cole took his time to make his craft the best he could and share the story with the world that others couldn’t see.

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.

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.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
