Sorry Kanye, As Long As 'Jesus Is King,' You Are NOT The Greatest Artist That God Created

You still have your God-complex, I see.

Kanye West has been all over my social media timeline lately — with the release of his album "Jesus is King" to taking his Sunday Service to a prison and performing for the inmates there, he's been spreading the love of God and His Word a lot.

As a black woman who came from a strong Christian family, I'm not mad.

Seriously, I'm not.

I do, however, take great offense as a person who LOVES music and entertainment, that during a visit to Joel Osteen's church, Kanye said that he is the greatest artist the God has ever created.

I don't know if Kanye truly understands the point of being Christian, but having a God-complex is one of the things that he has got to let go of.

Kanye's ego has been the one thing in his career that has remained constant. There was a time when I couldn't listen to Kanye because of his egotistical attitude.

His "Yeezus" phase was the nail in the coffin for me because I couldn't sit and listen to someone say they're black Jesus and King and a whole bunch of nonsense and take him seriously as an artist.

Sure other artists have said that they are a God or claimed to be the best of all time — like Eminem has a song called "Rap God," where he says, "Be a king? Think not, why be a king when you can be a God?" He didn't make that his whole career.

Kanye made the past 4-5 years of being a God and just working on that and now he's trying to preach to others when he hasn't completely let go of that part of his life. There are many other artists, some of whom have passed on that I believe were and still ARE the greatest artists ever created by God.

So Kanye, until you do something that really and truly moves me, don't place yourself in a Hall of Fame if you were never nominated in the first place.

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.
