Drizzy Versus The Man On The Moon

Last time I checked, someone's mental illness is not a choice.

There is nothing quite like some new Drake music to get you through a long week. He is typically known for catchy emotion-driven tracks that can be related to his own life in some way. However, one of his recent releases has sparked a deal of controversy on social media.

"Two Birds, One Stone" is an ultimate diss track that kills multiple "birds" with one "stone." Drake took shots at Pusha T and Meek Mill, but the target drawing the most attention is Kid Cudi. Cudi recently admitted himself to rehab for depression and suicidal urges, and he received lots of support from his fanbase as the news spread.

Upon opening Twitter a few days ago, I saw nothing but an excessive amount of tweets regarding Drake and mental health. Of course, I looked into it a bit further to see that "Two Birds, One Stone" referenced Kid Cudi's mental health.

The line itself reads:

"You were the man on the moon
Now you just go through your phases
Life of the angry and famous”

"Man on the moon" references Kid Cudi's 2009 debut album, and the rest of the diss is up for debate. The people of social media take various opinions that "phases" represents his mental state, and "angry and famous" also correlates with his emotions.

It seems as if some people believe that Cudi was aggressively targeted, and others think the line may have more to do with drugs or his alleged fall from fame.

To me, personally, I think what Drake did was a bit uncalled for. I understand that rap beef will be rap beef, but referencing someone's mental illness while they are doing what they need to correct it is pretty shady, and I'm ashamed to see an artist for whom I once had a bit more respect pull such a dirty move.

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.
