Its real, its raw, its funny AF, Insecure is a show that will have you dying of laughter and catching real-life moments most late 20-year-olds experience in life. For those who have never heard of the HBO show Insecure, the show centers around the life of Issa Dee, a young Black woman who struggles to navigate her professional and romantic life. Issa is from Inglewood, California who struggles to fit in at work by being the only Black person in a white-dominated non-profit organization that helps inner-city students in Los Angeles with their education. At work Issa experiences microaggression from her colleagues where she keeps from lashing out at them by talking to herself in the mirror which are the best scenes in the show! Issa confronts herself in the mirror by talking to herself or at time rap to pump herself up just like us when we are alone in the bathroom which is HELLA hilarious in the show! Take a look:

1. "I don't make love, I fuck"

2. "Do you want your man or nah?"

Some mirror scenes in the show tie in with her love life which is complicated throughout the series. Without giving much of the show and her relationship status all I can say is that Issa is a savage! Her love life consists of a long-time relationship, cheating, friends with benefits, and broken hearts. For those who watch the show people are either team Lawrence (that's me!) or team Daniel. Personally, Issa's love life is one of the reasons why I get eager for the next episodes throughout the series. You never know what is going to happen with the men in Issa's life since she is going through her "Hoe" phase. Besides her professional and romantic life friendship is also a theme in the show. Molly Carter is Issa's best friend and for those who women who have a best friend for friends you know how real and funny talks can get when you hit your twenties.

3. Please prepare yourself for the epic season 3

Overall this show is fantastic, people within their 20's through 30's can relate to this show regarding any gender. The show is filmed in Los Angeles specifically around Inglewood, Baldwin Hills, Mid-City, Santa Monica, and Malibu. The show also exhibits great music from artists such as Miguel, SZA, GoldLink, and Frank Ocean. This comedy-drama is too good to miss, it has been nominated for two Emmys this year just to show how great the show is. You will find yourself laughing out loud and binge-watching seasons 1 and 2 once you start the pilot episode, but don't worry because season 3 comes right your way on Sunday, August 12th on HBO!

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.
