If you haven't seen it already, check out Lil Dicky's new song and music video, Freaky Friday.

Although Lil Dicky, aka Dave Burd, is not yet a household name, with his new music video and album coming out, LD will soon be considered one of the best.

Hailing from the suburbs of Philadelphia, Lil Dicky bases his music around his everyday life and many of his songs are created like a normal conversation between two people. Additionally, Burd interjects his songs with Seinfeld-esque social situations that make for hilarious lyrics.

In his music videos, Lil Dicky creatively recreates the scenes he raps about. In his latest video, Burd collaborated with Chris Brown and several other celebrities to show what it would be like if they switched bodies for the day. The lyrics are not only clever and funny, but also the music video is entertaining and fun to watch.

Lil Dicky is creating his own niche in rap music that has never been seen before. By incorporating comical lyrics into his music, Lil Dicky's songs are relatable to everyday life. One of Dicky's recurring jokes is about his upbringing as a Jewish Caucasian kid while most other rappers do not lead similar lives.

Now, with millions of views on his music videos and songs with features such as Snoop Dogg and Fetty Wap, Lil Dicky's new album will be in the spotlight. Should Lil Dicky's album get positive reviews bolstered by the success of Freaky Friday, I would not be surprised to see Lil Dicky's unconventional rap style be considered in the upper echelon very soon.

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.

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.
