7 New Hip Hop Albums You Should've Already Been Listening To, But Better Late Than Never

I like to stay hip and trendy on the new music that comes out, and there's been a lot of it recently! From Post Malone announcing Posty Fest to Lollapalooza ending, there's been a whole lot of new music and a whole lot of new bands popping up! As a big music guru, here are the seven new albums you should be listening to, if you aren't already:

Travis Scott - "Astroworld"

This album is hands-down one of my favorite albums dropped all summer. Travis's beats are addictive, and his collaborations with Drake, Frank Ocean and The Weeknd make his album overall spectacular. Say what you want, but the Billboard Hot 100 doesn't lie.

Future - "BEASTMODE 2"

With bangers like "WIFI LIT" and "31 DAYS," no wonder Future made his way back in the game with BEASTMODE 2. We haven't heard a lot from Future since HNDRXX and FUTURE in 2017, but he's making his way back into the scene with BEASTMODE 2.

Wiz Khalifa - "Rolling Papers 2"

With this famous follow-up to his 2011 album, Rolling Papers 2 features some great collaborations, like Real Rich with Gucci Mane and Hopeless Romantic with Swae Lee. This album is more laid back than Travis Scott's but still fantastic. Also, I've heard some rumors about going to his concerts...

Drake - "Scorpion"

The two-sided album caught everyone's attention as soon as it dropped and quickly climbed its way up the Billboard Hot 100. In fact, all 27 songs off the album are on the Billboard Hot 100. He's also spent 30 consecutive weeks as the No. 1 artist on the Billboard Artist 100 chart. Does that get you in your feelings?

G Herbo & Southside - "Swervo"

When Atlanta-born rapper G Herbo and Chicago native Southside collaborate to make an album, obviously it'll be good. Listen to "How I Grew Up," which features 21 Savage, and "Catch Up" featuring Chief Keef to hear what G Herbo can do. Prior to the release of this album, G Herbo released Humble Beast in 2017, and the song "Everything" featuring Lil Uzi Vert was one of the top hits from the album.

Nicki Minaj - "Queen"

Nicki's album QUEEN, just released, has a strong female presence and empowering vibe. "Barbie Dreams" and "Hard White" are two hits from the album that are currently making conversation, as well as "Rich Sex," which features Lil Wayne. Either way, Nicki had her fans waiting four years for the release of this album, and they weren't disappointed.

Trippie Redd - "Life's A Trip"

From "Taking a Walk" to "Missing My Idols," Trippie Redd's new album is full of hits. I also have a soft spot in my heart for him, as he's from Ohio. "Dark Knight Dummo" with Travis Scott was one of his first collaborations, and since then, he's been on the horizon.

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:

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

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.
