Did he predict his own death?

Jahseh Dwayne Ricardo Onfroy, also known as XXXTentacion, is a successful American singer, rapper and songwriter from SoundCloud. However, most people know him by his startling decisions such as: abusing his pregnant ex-girlfriend, beating up a homosexual man just because he was "staring at him" in jail, dealing with felony chargers and more.

On June 18th, 2018, Onfroy was killed at the age of 20 by gunfire in Deerfield Beach, Florida. His funeral was held on June 27th, 2018 as a public memorial with an open casket at the BB&T Center in Sunrise, Florida.

Just recently, XXXTentacion's new music video "SAD!" was released on YouTube and there is so much that I want to say about it. It honestly stopped me in my own tracks.

Near the beginning, XXX is walking through a church and there's a funeral being held there. There's people who are mourning around him and he sees an open casket. What drives me absolutely insane about this part is that the person in the casket was HIM. It gave me chills because XXX died days ago and the video made it look like he was attending his own funeral as a ghost. It's like he predicted his own death.

Soon, XXX's body in the casket rose up and started fighting him. This tells me that XXX is fighting against his old self and how "your worst enemy is yourself." I believe that he knows and regrets the choices he made. He wasn't happy with his old self and he wanted to be a better person.

XXXTentacion wanted to change. It's true that our actions can have consequences. It wasn't right that he did those awful things in his past. However, no one is perfect. When it comes to making mistakes, we all make them so we need to accept that and learn from them. I think that XXX finally realized that. I believe that he didn't like any of the things he had done in his past and he wanted to figure himself out.

This music video says everything on who he wanted to be as a person. As a religious person, I believe God wants us to forgive people. If we hold onto hurt, anger or pain, it harms us a lot more. It's best to forgive and live in the present. If someone wants to change the way that they're behaving, it shows that they want to do better. Yes, we all make mistakes but we must learn from them. May his music live on forever.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
