Miley Cyrus In The Hot Seat After HipHop Comments
Miley Cyrus

Ever since Miley Cyrus' breakup with ex-fiance Liam Hemsworth, she has not been the same. During concerts, she wore close to no clothing. She danced with giant inflatables shaped like penises. She made drug references in her songs. She further broke down her feelings in her hit song "Wrecking Ball" while swinging from an actual wrecking ball naked. She later takes a hiatus from the spotlight and then decides to come back as an innocent country singing lamb. She is welcomed into the spotlight with open arms. This I can accept but her reasoning for her behavior in an interview is what made me sick. Here are her exact words.

"She did, and I grew up with her. I also love that new Kendrick [Lamar] song ['Humble']: 'Show me somethin’ natural like ass with some stretch marks.' I love that because it’s not, 'Come sit on my d-ck, suck on my c-ck.' I can’t listen to that anymore. That’s what pushed me out of the hip-hop scene a little. It was too much, 'Lamborghini, got my Rolex, got a girl on my c-ck.' I am so not that."

According to this picture, yes she was that. Is she trying to blame hip-hop for her inappropriate actions? Hip-hop has been known to induce overly sexual behavior but behavior like this is extraordinary. Hip-hop culture did not force, nor influence you to suck an inflatable penis. She was the same person twerking on Robin Thicke. Blame the weed and alcohol but I and black Twitter will not let you try and blame hip-hop.

It's so confusing to me how quickly people embraced her and forgot how she used to dress. All they needed was something to blame her inappropriate behavior on and the arrow landed on black culture. I'm happy she is sober, but what part of her twelve-steps was there a step where she relinquishes responsibility for her actions? Every nasty thing she did on stage was the fault of Miley Cyrus.

This reminds me of the Britney Spears breakdown of 2007. She shaved her head and was mentally unstable for a while. What I like about Britney Spears' comeback to music was that she had some good songs to jump start her career again. Britney Spears also didn't blame the changes she was going through on anything else. At the end of the day you can leave hip-hop to make country music but don't act like hip-hop is this negative energy that forced you to act the way you did for all those years.

People are backing her up, giving her interviews and all this other positive crap because she has Billy Ray Cyrus backing her up. I see right through the act she is trying to pull and I guarantee she will step on country music to save her image soon enough.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
