How To Get Attention: Kanye West Style

I no longer have any respect for Kanye West after the meeting he had with Trump.

Warning: the following content will most likely be Saturday Night Live approved, and Kanye West disapproved. It seems as though the once influential rapper (in my eyes) Kanye West has been "team Donald Trump" ever since the orange-skinned Jabba the Hutt wanted to run for president. I'm not criticizing West for being a Republican and being so besotted with Trump because it is everyone's humanly right (assuming that West is human) to think how they want to and to believe in whatever they want. However, I am a little confused with West's current political views since in 2005 he claimed that former president George W. Bush didn't care about black people.

According to People.com, while visiting Trump at the White House, West brought up what he said about Bush in 2005 and stated," I was very emotional and I was programmed to think from a victimized mentality. Of a welfare mentality." First, I would like to point out that he uses the word 'programmed' which leads me to believe he may not actually be human. Second, it's hard for me to take this seriously. I can't help but think this is an ingenious way for West to get attention. The more outrageous Trump-related things he does, the more publicity he will get which gets him closer to immortality since people will always remember his antics even when he is dead.

Even if West absolutely loves Trump and will be his advocate, there has to be more to his media outbursts and Trump rants. Just how a toddler would randomly start screaming for attention, here is how to get attention the Kanye way.

Constantly wear a Make America Great Again red baseball cap. You will get so much attention if you wear this pro-Trump accessory wherever you go. According to West, no place is too liberal for him not to wear this hat. To receive more public reactions that will probably be negative, make sure to take many selfies of yourself with the hat on and post them to various online media platforms.

Rant about Trump during your Saturday Night Live performance. One of the smartest things West has thought of was using his SNL performance time at the end of the show to give a speech that glorified Trump and condemn all of the people who have made negative comments about him for being Trump's number one lackey. I'm sure this annoyed some of the cast and crew members; especially the ones who just wanted to go home. But sacrificing their time was worth it. His plan went so perfectly, that he even got a few boos from some of the audience members. Immediately after, people everywhere were talking about it.

Visit Trump at the White House. A great way to get the press in the same room as you is to visit Trump at the White House and have lunch with him. That's exactly what West did. To make people want to talk more about the conversation, make sure to discuss your crazy theologies and beliefs, and to also bad mouth democratic liberals. West did such a great job of doing this that Saturday Night Live couldn't pass up doing their opening skit about it.

So there you go. Those are the few ways to get attention the way Kanye West does it. People may hate you for it, but at least you'll have your name in the media.

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.
