Everyone Needs To Sign Up For A Free YouTube Premium Trial To Watch Jay Park's Bio Series, 'Chosen1'

On April 24, YouTube released a trailer for a new series they're doing titled Chosen1. This series will follow the career of the famous, Korean rapper and CEO, Jay Park. You're probably wondering why you should care about this. And there's a good reason.

Jay Park is a Korean-American with endless talents. He's especially famous in Korea for his rapping, singing, and dancing. He also is the CEO of two record labels and is signed to Jay-Z's record label, Roc Nation. Jay is the first Korean-American to be signed to Roc Nation. He's actually probably the first Korean-American to have success in the rap/hip-hop genre.

The docu-series is described to be a series where we follow Jay Park and his 10-year career as a musician. However, while doing so, we will get to analyze why his career has panned out the way it has thus far. There will be a discussion about his time as a k-pop star and his societal exile. The series will go deeper to discover why Korean-American artists, thus far, haven't had much success within the music industry in America.

I think it's going to be something important for everyone to watch because of the conversation it will spark. Asian-American artists are typically ignored in the media, spare for a few exceptions. However, tons of American artists like to incorporate Asian themes within their own art. As of late, so many rappers are including Asian themes within their music. From Migos to Nicki Minaj, Famous Dex, Post Malone, and countless others. Why is it that these people want to use the culture of Asian Americans to further their career, yet they don't invest time into the people that created the culture in the first place? I believe by delving into Jay Park's career, we may get to see things from a new point of view to understand why Asian-American's don't have the same success as their culture.

You can watch the docu-series on YouTube premium starting May 1st, so be sure not to miss it.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.

1. When your advisor tells you that you should declare a major soon.

2. Seeing the lost and confused freshmen and remembering that was you a short year ago, and now being grateful you know the ins and outs of the campus.

3. Going to the involvement fair to sign up for more clubs knowing that you are already too involved.

4. When you actually do the reading required for the first class.

5. Seeing your friends for the first time since last semester.

6. When you're already drowning in homework during syllabus week.

7. Realizing you don't have the same excitement for classes as you did as a freshman.

8. Going home and seeing people from high school gets weirder the older you get.

Dear Mom,

You took care of me and my brothers our entire lives and you still continue to! I will not be able to truly grasp all of the hard work that you put into this family until I create my own one day. But, I know that there are plenty of times I forgot to give you a simple thank you or an appreciative smile. I thank you for everything that you have done for me and will continue to do for me. Here are some examples of those times where you had my back and I forgot to pat your back for saving me:

College is hard. As people ages 18-22, we’re just trying to figure out what we’re doing with our lives, our careers, our eating habits, exercise routines, sleep patterns, and other necessities for adult life. We definitely don’t take proper care of ourselves; it’s basically impossible when we have essays, tests and readings due and somehow we’re supposed to eat right, exercise and sleep. We’re doomed to get sick. I have zero experience in science but when I get sick there are certain things I do to make myself better.
