Dear Kylie Jenner,

You can have whatever your heart desires because of your family’s fame. You throw your money around at big things like fancy cars, vacations, expensive Cartier, big boobs, big butt, little waist, the big lips, the tanned skin, your own makeup line. Magazines say that you invented wigs. Big lips were trending everywhere. Your lips even had its own challenge where people tried to make their lips big like yours.

The same big lips that I was teased about when I was in the fifth grade, the lips that made me feel so insecure.

You are dating a black man, but honey can you love him the way that I can? You are not able to make him soul food, the kind that makes embrace his black pride. He is a king, you are trying to be queen but taking black culture will not make you one.

You, Kylie cannot just go around thinking that it is fine to take our culture and make it a “trend.”

Why is it that you can wear a bra in public and it’s called modern or chic but when I do it I am called ghetto or rachet? How can you sit back and take another person’s culture and not give a second thought about it? Your boyfriend was once with a strong, independent black woman. You took a king away from his queen and decided that you wanted him for himself.

Kylie, you want to be black without being black. Do you know what it’s like to be black and watch your culture and everything that you embrace about yourself become a trend? Trends fade, the African American culture will not become a trend for you to parade around whenever you feel like.

Kylie Jenner, take several seats and stop claiming our culture.

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.
