There’s no man who can keep a secret as well as Frank Ocean. For years, fans have been eagerly waiting and watching for any sign of the artist. Now fans finally saw a light at the end of the tunnel, as Ocean revealed a piece of the puzzle with the release of his contemplative visual album Endless.

Ocean released Endless as a teaser for his new album, but the two projects are entirely separate, according to Rolling Stone. There’s no doubt that Ocean has something brilliant in the works, and at least fans can have a taste of the magic while they continue waiting for the long overdue follow-up to Channel Orange.

Channel Orange shook the musical world with its release in 2012, and since then, fans have been waiting anxiously for his next move. Orange’s silky smooth vocals and carefully crafted lyrics made their mark on the R&B world, and there’s no doubt that his next project will do the same.

While it’s true that Rome wasn’t built in a day, the album is now over a year past due, leaving fans wondering, “so what gives, Frank?” Ocean’s mysterious hints continue to stir up a conversation. Tentative cover art for the new album has surfaced, but fans are still waiting for the music that Chance the Rapper deemed “a masterpiece.” In July, Ocean released a teaser graphic in the form of a library due date slip. The slip was marked with random dates, any of which could have been the release date of the album.

Not only is the release date extremely vague, but the name of the album is also up for debate. While originally expected to be called “Boy’s Don’t Cry,” Ocean has duped fans, yet again. As confirmed by Rolling Stone in their interview with the artist, he has scrapped the original title, and will supposedly be releasing his new album this weekend on iTunes. The title is anyone’s guess, but there’s no doubt that the album will be a hit.

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.
