Mac Miller: 60 Days Sober And Spreading The Love
Mac Miller

Mac Miller, American rapper at age 24, recently added a 4th album to his collection, “The Divine Feminine,” released on September 16, 2016, and it's giving the industry a well-needed dose of love. Appearing on Power 106 in Los Angeles on the 15th, he talked about the album, his love life, and the creative process and how it has differed from his other work. After a show in London, Mac came to understand the lack of female presence at his shows and decided to start working on a new project. The masterpiece, “The Divine Feminine,” features Kendrick Lamar, Cee-Lo Green, Ty Dolla $ign, Anderson. Paak, Njomza, and Bilal. The album includes his grandmother’s story of her and her husband’s love and marriage and a central message of the realest thing humans have, love.

While talking on Power 106, Mac talked about how the album is him taking a risk, putting out songs that he has only done in private before. Understanding forthcoming hate on the album for its more meaningful substance, Mac explained what he wanted his fans to get out of it. “I think I want them to appreciate love, in all forms of the word love, like how complex and important a feeling like that is in the world”. He started to create "The Divine Feminine" after a London show for his last album, “GO:OD AM”, after seeing how many more males were present then females. Mac said on the air, “I want to speak to everyone, I haven’t been talking about love”. That he has accomplished in "The Divine Feminine." The album takes the listener on a journey through meaningful lyrics, a piece of Mac’s personal love life, and an opening and closing audio of his grandmother telling the listener about her and her husband’s love affair, and how wonderful it is to understand love, and be in it.

Taking his mindset, and letting the work come through him naturally, unlike his last album approaches, Mac has succeeded with his masterpiece, sending us a message we need to absorb. Posting on Instagram on the 20th, of a positive reaction video to his work, he captioned it “listen to the album. Have an experience”. Everyone could use a sit down and listen through of “The Divine Feminine,” and give his message a chance. We all need more love in our every day anyways.

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.
