Kanye West Could Finally Be Revealing His True Colors

The problem is, we as a society may not be able to understand that maybe this is the Kanye West that is truly himself.

So, I know everybody has seen bits and pieces of Kanye West interviews.

Well, let's talk about this people.

Mr. West, Kanye West... Hmmmm.

Let me admit that Kanye West, like most people, is expressing free speech. I have to look at this with an outside perspective. I first want to start off by saying that I feel like what Kanye West is doing, is him expressing what brainwashed is.

The reason I say this is because he is saying everything that will make people turn against him. I feel like he has been brainwashed into believing that he's being his true self and maybe this is who he truly is. The problem is, we as a society may not be able to understand that maybe this is the Kanye West that is truly himself. Let's take his homeboy Trump for example. Trump was enjoyed by the media and people looked up to him but when he got into office, a lot of things started to come to light and we started to see the things we have never seen. We all started to say that's the real Trump we're seeing.

Has anyone ever thought that maybe the Kanye that we are seeing is actually who he truly wanted to be?

I feel like, yes, the things that Kanye West has said were very offensive to people of African descent have gone through or are going through. To be specific, Kanye West said something along the lines of 400 years of slavery was by choice. This was said in a TMZ interview. Now let's step out of the outside looking in approach and just state how I feel.

I feel like when it comes to Kanye West, a statement like that was a slap in the face to many people. I feel like in a way it was not a logically coherent statement. The reason I say this is because to think about it, if you say slavery is a choice, then that would mean that them getting on the boats to get here was a choice. That means that them getting sold off was a choice that they had. Therefore, you could never say that slavery was a choice because our ancestors didn't fully have a choice, there were times in which our ancestors had a little bit of choice to try to get out of the circumstances that they were in. However, our ancestors were enslaved in all aspects of life. So you can't compare yourself and how you would react to how our ancestors reacted. I say this because we are in two different positions in life. We have a lot more things to get us out of circumstances and we have more control over our lives than our ancestors did.

So I feel like just like everything in life, you have to get a lesson out of everything and everything has a downside to it but there is always something to learn from it.

I just want to say I accept Kanye West for the over the top, chaotic things that he may say because it reminds me that no one will think the same as you. But they may have things that you agree with or understand or feel is a part of a particular moment in your life. So don't always go for judging a person first. You have to be able to understand the people you disagree with because it allows you to love them as a fellow human being.

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.
