College As Told By Drake

College As Told By Drake
Pitchfork

What a time to be alive! Winter break is here so you made it out alive. Let's take a look back at this past semester and figure out what college is all about. I will share this experience through the powerful words of the famous poet, Drake.

Move In Day:

A wise Drake was once quoted saying,


"Started from the bottom now we're here,
Started from the bottom now the whole team here"
"Living at my mama's house we'd argue every month."


Sounds like he just needed to get away and have his own place, like a college dorm.


When a teacher assigns homework on Syllabus Day:


"Remember, mother******* never loved us"


When the cafeteria is having an off day:

"When a good thing goes bad, it's not the end of the world, just the end of a world, that you had with one..." lunch?


Showing up to your first college party:

"My excuse is that I'm young, and I'm only getting older so somebody shoulda told ya I'm on one."


Your first crush of the year:

"Sweatpants hair tied, chillin with no make up on, that's when you're the prettiest I hope you don't take it wrong."


When your friend does the whole study guide:


"Cause you da you da best, you da you da best."


Sucking up to your professor:

"I better find your love, I better find your heart."

When the professor gives you the extra point:

"Who would of know the path we chose would end up this scenic?"

Looking at your bank account halfway through the year:

"We go to dinner, you don't even look at me to pay."

Trying to get some cardio in at the gym:

"Last name Ever, first name Greatest."

When your mom sends you money for "groceries":

"They ain't make me this way, they found me like this."

When the test isn't at all like the study guide:

They might catch me slippin, and put in something different.

But you somehow pass the test:

"No help, that's all me, that's all me for real."

Praying to get through finals week:

"I just wanna be, I just wanna be successful."

Finally making it to Christmas Break with passing grades:


"Just Hold On We're Going Home!"

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.
