By now, if you don't know who Halsey is you've probably been living under a rock. Love her music, hate her music, it's still undeniable that she is a cinnamon roll of good for this world and I don't know what mankind did to deserve her.

In case you don't know who she is sit back, relax, and enjoy this introduction to this wondrous human being named Ashley Frangipane.

First things first if you've actually never heard her music now is the time

Ghost // Halsey



So why exactly should you love Halsey

1. She's biracial

2. But she acknowledges her privilege as white passing.


3. She can rock literally any and all hair styles

4. Can you say Inter-sectional Feminist?


5. She's Bisexual


6. She writes her own music and the lyrics are great

7. She is a role model for young people like her

In an interview with Justine Harman for ELLE Halsey said, "I don't insist that any of my ideas or opinions are the perfect form, but I've kind of accepted the fact that I'm a role model for a lot of different types. I'm mixed race—my dad is black and my mom is white—and I'm very pale. Growing up there weren't a lot of mixed people in the media who were as pale as I was. I always felt like I was too light to identify with anyone else. I now have girls reach out to me all the time and say, 'I'm mixed race like you and I'm just as white as you are. Thank you for being that for me.' Or, you know, someone reaches out with a mental illness or someone reaches out who is, you know, a feminist. I just like to be the in-between role model—the one I didn't have growing up. At the same time, if I'm going to be a role model, I would rather kids idolize my intention to do good and my intention to be myself and my intention to be different rather than my actions. I think my intentions are more admirable than my actions."

If you're not fully convinced yet that's okay maybe I convinced you to hate her a little less. And don't get me wrong everyone's fave is problimatic and Halsey is no different. However before you can fully judge someone look at the good they've done as well as the bad.

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.

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.
