8 Reasons Why Michael Jackson is Still King In 2020

Taking it back many many moons, I remember being about two years old, waking up in the middle of the night and opening my door to complete darkness. In a second, Michael Jackson's "Thriller" music video started to play.

When the switch happened, where they're in the graveyard and you hear the deep voice, I screamed. I ran and found my grandma on the couch and jumped into her arms. After she calmed me down, she replayed the VHS that she had recorded it on and let me watch.

That was the start of my obsession with Michael Jackson.

I remember where I was and what I was doing when we got the word Michael had passed. Not a day has passed since where you don't hear about him in the media, someway, somehow. No matter what, Michael will always be the king of pop, and nobody can take that from him

1. Michael Jackson has the best music... no discussion.

I feel like it's a no-brainer. Michael Jackson has the best music. He has a little bit for everyone. The soul, the feel, the emotion he shows. His music is one of a kind.

2. He could act without really acting.

HE COULD ACT! If you haven't seen "The Wiz," please do ASAP. Michael played a character but somehow still showed us himself.

3. His style is one for the books.

Michael Jackson's styles are one that will be copied until the end of time. Artists like Justin Bieber and Chris Brown even have music that follow Michael's style.

4. Perfectionist at its best.

Jackson was a perfectionist. He would record a song, and if it didn't fit his image, he wouldn't use it, which is why he has many unreleased songs. He was very precise and had the whole practice makes perfect down to a T when he would have tour rehearsals.

5. He is humble and kind.

Despite his fame, he had a heart full of gold. He loved people and wanted the best for everyone. All that knew him spoke nothing but great things about him.

6. "Thriller"...enough said

"Thriller" is just an iconic album.

7. He's still loved even after his death.

Even though he is gone, his spirit is still very alive.

8. Everyone sees him as the king.

That's all.

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.
