Comedians of Social Media: Young-Joc Is One
Instagram

This past week well-known hip-hop artist "Yung Joc" took over social media revealing his new look. The rapper posted a picture on Instagram with what seem to resemble a woman's hair cut with a textured perm and was extremely proud and excited about it. If he only knew that his fans would not only hate it but crash the internet with tons of "memes" and video blogs, rants, and chats.

Artist "Yung Joc" is known for his frequent appearances on the VH1 hit show "Love and Hip Hop Atlanta" as he vocalizes his troubles with the ladies. However, before the reality show "Joc" had a very successful career in the early 2000's hitting the music billboard top ten charts with mega hits and even being named in "Forbes" magazine as one of the richest rappers at that time.

Besides his televised struggles with women "Yung Joc" is well respected for his work in the industry but I guess his come back to fit in today's music world wasn't a good choice. "Joc" new hair do sent many in an uproar but turned into a comedy show. At a whooping 17000 posts of memes and photo shopped photos between Facebook and Instagram. The funny thing is that the rapper isn't upset about this, "Joc" actually finds it very funny and is happy that his name is popular again just not in the way he imagined.

The question is do you think "Yung Joc" destroyed his career with this new hair cut? Does he have the chance to make a big come back and revive his career again or should he just stick to reality television? Well, sorry I find it quite hilarious but I really think it was a bad move. Glad he is not angry and continues to smile about it!

In our patriarchal society, men hide from their feelings, but toxic masculinity is literally killing men. They swallow the pain and move on so that they can look, feel, and act "tough."

But, strength is derived from asking for help and voicing your struggle and, trust me, working on your mental health is one hell of a struggle. The real way to "man up" is to acknowledge the downfalls in unjust societal norms. Mental health problems do not mean that a man is weak, they are neurologically-based disorders that require professional treatment.

Scrolling through Twitter this week had me rolling on the floor laughing as I read some of the hilarious tweets from ladies who, whether in a relationship or not, shared reactions to the news that PlayStation 5 is on its way

As this "buy your boyfriend a PS5" joke takes off across the internet, let's just say, there are a few things your BF should be doing before dropping $499 on the new gaming system — or, if the tweets are real for some, before you buy it for him as a gift.

Sorry, But 'I Don’t Care About Politics' Is Not A Valid Excuse For NOT Voting

The younger generation of voters is so crucial to the upcoming election because our vote is going to shape the world that we are about to enter as adults.

When I ask my friends if they are voting this term most of them respond with "no" followed by an explanation of "I don't care enough," "It doesn't affect me," or "I don't keep up with politics," etc. I get it, as a college student I know that there are many other things to be concerned about like school, relationships, work, and friends. I also understand that keeping up with politics can seem like trying to keep up with an over-exaggerated reality show that has way too many seasons. Not to mention most news stations and websites are biased so it's hard to decipher if what you hear is true or fake.

However, despite all of this annoyance, as the next generation of Americans, we have to remember that we owe it to ourselves, our families, and to our futures to care.

Two of my favorite things in life are reading and books. Obviously, they go hand-in-hand. In my life, I've realized that there is nothing better than learning about the current world or getting fully immersed in another world. Reading can inspire, teach, and entertain you.

For me, the feeling of opening a book and smelling that fresh book smell can't compete with anything else.

I go through phases when it comes to what I like to read. I am typically reading two books at any given time: one serious nonfiction and one escapist fiction novel to have on hand and open up depending on my mood.

What remains consistent, however, amongst most of my fellow bibliophiles is a desire to try new and different authors and genres. I, as an Indian woman, have been partial to reading books written by fellow Indian and Desi writers since I first got a library card.

I Asked 46 Women What They Thought About The Term 'Plus-Size', And Here's What They Had To Say
@aerie

We live in a world where it's become customary to push boundaries, break rules, and question standards upheld by society. Though try as we might, some of these standards are harder to conquer than others — body image is one of the top contenders.

For years, the body positivity movement has pushed for the acceptance of all marginalized body types not represented or celebrated in the media. Recently, we've gotten better at appreciating and accepting all body types, but one thing that's still lingering is the stigma of body image in the fashion industry — more specifically, the term "plus-size."

Throughout quarantine, something that a lot of us picked up on was working out. With all the free time, it seemed like the perfect opportunity to work on that "dream bod" you've been wanting for years, or to just feel good about yourself.

A common way to stay motivated and keep yourself on-task is to follow fitness influencers on various platforms. For some people, yes, this can be a healthy and helpful way to keep your drive. In other cases, however, this can do more harm than good.
