XXL Worst Freshman Class

Usually I am a fan of XXL Freshman class because they have shined a light on up and coming artists who would one day take over the rap game, such as Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole, Wiz Khalifa, Lupe Fiasco, ScHoolboy Q, Kirko Bangz, Logic, Kevin Gates and, my personal favorite, Chance the Rapper. The list can go on and on, but dont get me wrong, there are a few from all the class that fell or that had a couple of hit songs. With the 2016 Freshman class, I am more disappointed; I am actually hurt that this class is absolutely the worst. I don't know who choose this class, but hopefully next year they can do better.

This class was filled with rappers who cannot rap and most of the time, just don't make any sense. I will admit that a couple of them that have songs that I like if i want to get a little ratchet: Kodak Black No Flockin and Lil Uzi Vert- Money Longer. Other than that I just can't get "jiggy with it." Especially after "The Cypher" was released...



And if you watch the second video, it's very obvious that Lil Dicky was the star out of the whole eight (not including the other two that are missing.) The rappers now are missing something that all of the others in the past have had and still have to this day: actuallyrics that have some type of meaning to them. The rappers now are giving rap and hip hop a bad name because they are ignorant and rap about drugs, sex, violence, killing. Now, they are to be the face of music, instead of the ones who actually deserve it.

Some might disagree with my statement, but it's a proven fact that they are bad (with the exception of Lil Dicky.) National Suntimes actually stated that "If Lil Dicky makes XXL's Freshman list, he will surely be the most polarizing rapper on the list." That was published on Feb 8, 2016 and shows you how accurate they were. In my opinion, Bryson Tiller, iLoveMakonnen, Tory Lanez, Post Malone, Skizzy Mars and Futuristic should have also been named. That is just to name a few that actually deserves to be apart of the freshman class some are long time over due, but hey what do I know I'm just a college student that listens to logical rappers. Hopefully in 2017, XXL can actually redeem themselves with a worthy class that is not trash.

As college students, we are all familiar with the horror show that is course registration week. Whether you are an incoming freshman or selecting classes for your last semester, I am certain that you can relate to how traumatic this can be.

1. When course schedules are released and you have a conflict between two required classes.

Bonus points if it is more than two.

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

As an English Major in college, I have a lot of writing and especially creative writing pieces that I work on throughout the semester and sometimes, I'll find it hard to get the motivation to type a few pages and the thought process that goes behind it. These are eleven thoughts that I have as a writer while writing my stories.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
