This week's edition of Saturday Night Live had quite a few great aspects to it. For starters, it was hosted by actor Benedict Cumberbatch, who is playing the title character in the latest Marvel movie, Doctor Strange. Of course it wasn't complete without Alec Baldwin and Kate McKinnon's renditions of both Hillary Clinton an Donald Trump, urging people to go out and vote this coming Tuesday, November 8th.

As for SNL's musical guest, it was none other than Solange, performing songs off her third album, "A Seat At The Table". The singer's performance was nothing short of divine as she made her Studio 8H debut. Alongside Solange was South London-based singer-songwriter and producer, Sampha, whose vocals can be heard in "Don't Touch My Hair." In addition to performing "Cranes In The Sky", her performance was met with cheers of applause. Plus, big sister Beyoncé and their mother, Tina Lawson came out to see Sol's debut on the legendary SNL stage.


It's been quite the interesting ride for Solange, as "A Seat At The Table" debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 in it's first week. Not to mention that both she and sister Beyoncé have made history as the first and only sisters to attain No. 1 solo albums in the same year.


When her performance was over, Solange took to Twitter to thank Saturday Night Live for the opportunity to perform. "I had a great time, even through the imperfections & nervousness," Solange wrote.

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
