Black Eyed Peas Come Back with a Strong Remake

"I remember when the attack in Paris happened, and then Belgium happened, and then Turkey, and then Orlando, and then Philando, and Alton, and then Dallas." Will.I.Am speaking about the recent tragedies.

Back in September, The Black Eyed Peas released a remake of their classic 2003 hit "Where is the Love?" This time, they came back strong with a heart pounding song that features the world. Justin Timberlake, Snoop Dog, A$AP Rocky, Usher, DJ Khaled, Wiz Khalifa, Jaden Smith, Mary J. Blige, Andra Day, Ty Dolla $ign, French Montana, Diddy, Kris Jenner, and many more are all featured in the video. It also highlights photos taken from events that have scared the world and a children's chorus at the end.

With all of the negativity in the world, we needed this song to come back. We are a world that is allowing tragedies to take over and our reactions are not correct. Instead of coming together to stop this horrible epidemic, we are spreading apart and fighting against each other. This must come to an end and we need to reunite as one country, one world.

All lives matter. Enough of one life matters more than the other. EVERYONE matters! How is putting one life before the other matter more? We deserve to live our life until it is our proper time to go. As said in the video, love is powerful. If you show one person love, it can change their life forever.

Many people have reacted to the video by saying that they like the original better or that it has ruined the original. In my eyes, this is just what we need. While watching the video, it reminded me of the 2010 remake of "We Are The World" with various singers singing about coming together to help Haiti. Where is that unity now? We need to create that unity again and come together as one to fill the gap that we have made to separate ourselves.

America, it is time to end the hatred, violence, racism, terrorism, everything. It is time to put an end to what has caused the world to go into an endless cycle of pain and hurt. This is OUR world. Our world should be filled with love, unity, care, and kindness. But this can not be done without people making a movement. Until that movement happens, I will be asking the same question as everyone else; Where is the Love?

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.
