My Projections For The 2017 Grammys

It's award season, and the Grammys are where it all begins.

Dec 12, 2016

The Grammy Nominations for this year have arrived, and a mess of emotions have come with them. Beyoncé led with a total of nine nominations. Kanye West, Drake and Rihanna followed in nominations, each earning eight. Chance the Rapper, a first-time nominee, made Grammy history earning seven nominations with a streaming only album. Adele also earned five nominations for her album 25. With all the nods given out, some artists were not included. Many influential artists were snubbed in many different categories. Rihanna's Anti was snubbed for album of the year, and many worthy artists were not given a best new artist nod. As for surprises, Demi Lovato shocked many audiences with her nomination in the Best Pop Vocal Album category. Aside from the snubs and surprises, all nominees deserved it. Tune in to the awards on February 12 to find out the true results!

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

The people that spend their summers at the lake are a unique group of people.

Whether you grew up going to the lake, have only recently started going, or have only been once or twice, you know it takes a certain kind of person to be a lake person. To the long-time lake people, the lake holds a special place in your heart, no matter how dirty the water may look.

There's no other place you'd rather be in the summer.

A bad day at the lake is still better than a good day not at the lake.

You know the best beaches and coves to go to.

You have no patience for the guy who can't back his trailer into the water right.

Doing the friendly wave to every boat you pass.

The cooler is always packed, mostly with beer.

Giving the idiot who goes 30 in a "No Wake Zone" a piece of your mind.

You have no problem with peeing in the water.

You know the frustration of getting your anchor stuck.

Watching in awe at the bigger, better boats that pass by.

Knowing any swimsuit that you own with white in it is best left for the pool or the ocean.

The momentary fear for your life as you get launched from the tube.

You're able to go to the restaurants by the water wearing minimal clothing.

Having unexpected problems with your boat.

Having a name for your boat unique to you and your life.

There's no better place you'd rather be in the summer.
