“He's going to walk down the runway with an alligator,” said one devoted Tyler, The Creator fan. “I heard it’s going to be a cheetah,” countered another. Hundreds of fans eagerly awaited Tyler, The Creator 's highly anticipated runway show last week.

Tyler is only 25 years old and is the epitome of a Renaissance man. To simply refer to him as a famous rapper greatly diminishes his talent and drive to create art in all mediums. Tyler is slowly but surely building an empire and his debut fashion show in Los Angeles is only the beginning. Revered for his crude wit, colorful style, and razor sharp lyrics, Tyler is beloved by countless teens who look to the musician for inspiration and a laugh along the way. His story is truly one of rags to riches, growing up in a poor neighborhood of Los Angeles with a single mother, Tyler was able to rise above his circumstance and soar.

Staying true to his West Coast roots, Tyler embraced his natural California style, born-in-the-90s, skate-kid aesthetic in his clothing, thereby proving his lack of pretension. There were light-wash denim shorts, dad hats, and loud, Nickelodeon-esque prints. The set, which the rapper designed himself, was like a teenage boy's bedroom with a skate ramp in the middle. The entire collection became available for pre-order on the Golf Wang website immediately following the show.

Among Tyler's legions of loyal fans, many celebrities were seen showing their support as well, like Janelle Monáe, Dylan and Cole Sprouse, YG, Kendall Jenner and Kanye West. Odd Future collective members Taco Bennett, Jasper Dolphin also made an appearance not only in the audience but on the runway itself. They strutted, skateboarded, and drove mini motorized bikes down the runway wearing the new collection which included cheetah print polo shirts with hot pink trim, turquoise chinos emblazoned with yellow flame motifs, and fur coats with smiley faces painted across the back, acting out a few Loiter Squad–style comedy sketches to the delight of the crowd. Before closing the show, Tyler even performed his new synth-heavy track “My Ego." It is now streaming online for all to enjoy.

The epic runway show finally came to an end as Tyler took a bow and thanked his fans for their love and support saying, “I’ve always felt under-appreciated; growing up an inner city black kid I wasn’t very masculine or into sports and I liked the color pink. Well, I took that pink shit to that runway right here.” With the help of Kanye West, Tyler revealed his new shoe line called Golf le Fleur and a free pair for every ticket holder. Tyler's hunger and talent created a truly unforgettable event, and I am eager to see what he does next.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
