This song is a cover of the original song Stay by Rihanna. Visit this link to hear her original song.

When creating this song, I used the Karaoke version as the melody. Here is the link to view the karaoke version.

Throughout the song, Rihanna sings with another artist, Mikky Ekko. The song was released in 2012 in Rihanna's album Unapologetic and was nominated for an MTV Video Music Award. The vocalists, Mikky and Rihanna sing this duet with intense desire and emotion for each other. Rihanna's voice seems to break and cry as she battles wihin her own mind for what she loves to stay. Although some argue that the song was written about a man that she loved, about how she wanted him to stay, others could argue that the song was about something deeper. With Rihanna, being an artist who is heavily involved in Occultic and Satanic rituals, singing this song, it is believed that this song was written to declare her desire for the devil to stay with her. The chaotic battle within the music shows how her relationship with Lucifer grows.

The song begins with a piano melody building up the emotion in anticipation for Rihanna's voice. She describes her relationship as "cold" and "hot" and like a "fever" alluding that she was an uncommitted believer, and saw it as a sickness before. Next she asks for a sign, and the devil temps her to come closer into his charm. She describes it as a never-ending circle: "round and round and round and round we go" she says. The repetitive chorus mirrors satanic chants that may occult recite to invite evil spirits. Rihana is describing a relationship, is it one about a human, or fallen angel. Look close and pay attention to the detail of the words to deside for yourself.

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.
