Aubrey "Drake" Graham refuses to let up on Meek Mill. At this point, I just feel bad for Meek. The rap beef that once existed between the two rappers was unanimously declared over when Drake decided dropped "Charged Up" and "Back to Back" in 2015.

But for Drake, who is without a doubt the greatest rapper alive, it's only over when he decides to stop, because he's "looking for revenge" this summer.

Yesterday, Drake dropped another diss track, titled "Summer Sixteen," where he re-affirms his position in rap as its savior all while throwing shade at Kanye West, Chris Brown, and most importantly, Meek Mill. The Canadian rapper goes on to describe his ascension to rap godhood as he singlehandedly put Toronto on the map in his early 20s and how he is above the game itself at this point. At the end of record, Drake also gets a shoutout from the walking meme himself, DJ Khaled, as he shouts "They don't want us to have a bigger pool than Kanye!" (referencing a line earlier in the song where Drake says that he now "has got a bigger pool than Kanye.")

Drake is riding a wave of success that has never been seen before in this genre of music, and I'm convinced at this point that he could release a track with nothing but xylophone sounds and people would flock to buy it. He just has that kind of pull at the moment. Unlike most rappers, he hasn't had any slumps or periods where his popularity diminished heavily, yet he is rationing out content infrequently while his fans await each new track. Because of this model for distribution of his music, the demand for his music has skyrocketed over the past three years. "Summer Sixteen" is yet another example of how Drake markets his musical content perfectly and builds massive amounts of anticipation and hype for his upcoming albums. In this sense, he is the best rapper to ever market his own personal brand as well as his music.

With "Summer Sixteen" having only been released yesterday, heaps of success are most likely to follow in the coming week as the content becomes more readily available than just on iTunes. With another potential smash hit poised to only further his place in the history books, I and everyone else should get very excited for what musical masterpiece Drake is going to bless us with in the Summer of 2016.

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.
