Noticeable artists are becoming famous off songs that have catchy choruses of partying, weed, or a good time, but I think the main thing that distinguishes a good artist from a great one is the message that the singer delivers. Alessia Cara’s popular new single, “Scars To Make You Beautiful” is memorable since it's a song with a great rhythm and nice beat conveying a powerful message.

The music video shows that we should not hide behind our scars,because whatever scars we have are what makes us different. Many people tell us to be afraid of what is different but differences are memorable. And Alessias new music video shows her audience that they should never be afraid to be themselves. The song's main focus is about self acceptance, and how hard it is nowadays for one person to love themselves fully. The song is called “Scars to your beautiful” since many men and women in society today believe that they must change who they are by altering their body or switching up the way the look to fit into society's expectations.

Certain quotes from the song stand out more than others. Quotes such as “No better you than the you that you are." For example, the music video focuses on the lives of many different people from transgender teens, to young adult cancer or a female with an eating disorder. All these different characters are exposed in the video to represent that whatever your situation or story you are beautiful in your own way and you must embrace your own beauty.


Whether internal or external scars, visible or invisible scars, these are the things that set you apart from one another, these are the things that make you beautiful.

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.
