Childish Gambino Performs His Last Concert In Phoenix... Ever?

On December 15th, 2018, Childish Gambino arrived in Phoenix, Arizona to perform in front of thousands of people at Gila River Arena. After Vince Staples performed his opening act, the crowd was buzzing with excitement as for what was to come next. Thirty plus minutes later, the lights shut off. A single light glows from the stage as Gambino rises up.

"If you bought a ticket to this show tonight, then that means you bought a ticket to the last Childish Gambino concert ever." Gambino stated to the crowd. "Put your phones down because this, right here, this is church. This isn't a concert, it's a performance, and I'm going to perform my very best for you."

Living up to his promise, Gambino gave the crowd a show they would remember forever. From playing songs on his most recent album, Awaken, My Love, to throwing it back with songs off of his oldest album. Gambino had the crowd moving along with each beat and each groove. At one point, he even left the stage and sang in the middle of the crowd to interact with fans.

Childish Gambino still plans on creating music and even gave the crowd a sneak peek into one of his upcoming songs. But, as for touring, this seems uncertain. Could he just be taking a break to focus on music or is Gambino truly done for good?

While everyone loves Gambino's music, his fans have been even more excited about the upcoming live-action Lion King movie coming out in July 2019. Gambino will be playing Simba and with Beyoncé as Nala right by his side, the music soundtrack is bound to be absolutely beautiful.

But the real question is, what lies ahead for Gambino after the movie is released? Is he planning on furthering his movie career or focusing still on his music?

Gambino has a sound unlike any artist, and hopefully, we'll get to enjoy it for much longer.

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.
