Power to THE Couple of 2016

Drake and Rihanna are OFFICIALLY together?!?! Finally.

Power to THE Couple of 2016
ET! Online

Any one who knows anything about pop culture knows that last Sunday's VMA's will go down in history, particularly for one reason and one reason only: Drake confessed his love to Rihanna for all the world to see, FINALLY. I can personally say that I predicted this romance to have been blooming since before Aubrey and Robyn's collaboration in "Take Care" back in 2011 because of a particular saucy lyric that I will leave ambiguous because it seems too obvious now. But now that he has made it clear that their relationship is official, I can say that they are officially my favorite power couple as of Sunday.


My admiration for the couple stems from the lack of relationship experience I have, and the fact that, up to this point in time, they seem to emulate a happy, stable relationship. Their chemistry is off the charts despite the two having had previously claimed excessively that they were just friends for the past (almost) decade they have known each other. Who doesn't remember the two on Rihanna's music video for "Work"?

Drake waited over half a decade to finally be with the girl of his dreams. Now that's patience. And it's proving to be sublimely worth it for both the two new lovebirds and us fans who have been waiting for the moment they officially become a couple.

Throughout both of their careers, Drake and Rihanna have shown to have mutual respect for each other's work. In Drake's VMA speech to his beau, he mentioned how he absolutely loved Rihanna's work, even in her early stages when she was releasing songs like "Pon de Replay" and others from "Music in the Sun". In the years to follow, our ears have been blessed with the collaborations of Rihanna and Drake on songs from "What's My Name?" to "Work". If you didn't love being around the people you work with, why even bother to choose to collaborate with them in the first place?

And last, but definitely not least, both Rihanna and Drake are just two awesome people. I follow Rihanna on SnapChat (badgal) and she is one of the finest people on social media. Even though she's been given so much -ish on tabloids doing, wearing and saying things that are considered too inappropriate, she continues to not give a care. She still does HER. Same with Drake. Throughout his music career, he has been given -ish for his music, yet he still keeps doing HIM. This is so important in any relationship: to realize your worth on your own. After all, when things come crumbling down because of your significant other, who is the only person who can help you get back up again? You.

All in all, I love Rihanna and Drake together. I felt it from the moment I heard that lyric in "Take Care", wondering if she would ever let him know if she was ready. Obviously, she's finally ready to take things to the next step with him, and honestly, she deserves a good man. I mean, look at the way that he kisses her! They are goals in and of themselves and, together, they are couple goals.

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.
