Mac Miller, My Favorite Artist, Is Dead... And I'm Not OK

Saying goodbye to one of my favorite artists.

Mac Miller, My Favorite Artist, Is Dead... And I'm Not OK

I first discovered Mac Miller back in 2011 when he first released his album, "Blue Slide Park." I fell in love with the song "Missed Calls" and I've been a huge fan of his ever since.

You can imagine the feelings I have right now after hearing of his death.

Mac was that type of artist that always made a hard day not seem so bad anymore. He was my go-to for when I needed to cheer up my spirits, release all my emotions, or even focus on studying for a test. He never made a bad album, released a weak song, or disappointed his fans.

His music was not only an inspiration for people like me but for other artists as well. He helped other artists to find their sound, launch their career, and was always there when a friend needed him. "I don't know what to say. Mac Miller took me on my second tour ever. But beyond launching my career he was one of the sweetest guys I ever knew. Great man. I loved him for real. I'm completely broken. God bless him," stated Chance The Rapper.

Mac Miller was a good person. He truly did not deserve this life.

I had the privilege of getting to see him perform on his last tour for his previous album "The Divine Feminine" and it was clear that he wasn't there to perform for the money, but to put on his best show to thank his fans for always being there. Instead of letting the fame get to him, Mac did his very best to give back to his fans in every way he could.

He may be gone, but his impact on my world will never disappear.

Album after album, Mac Miller has continued to touch my heart for seven years. Finding the words to say goodbye to an artist like him is nearly impossible. While his continuance to make music is gone, he blessed our world with eight beautiful albums, filled with life lessons that everyone can relate to.

It's up to us to have his music live on. It's up to us to let the young man from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania have the impact that he always wanted. We cannot let that die too.

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.
