10 Struggles Only Frank Ocean Fans Will Understand

Since Frank Ocean came onto the scene in 2011 with "Nostalgia, Ultra," he has had fans hooked. If the mixtape didn’t do it for you, some of you might have been sold when you first listened to "Channel Orange" — the captivating melodies and vocals, the lyrics that evoked emotions within you about experiences you may not have even had. Since then, you’ve been anticipating another album from this talented soul, and that hope was ignited when Frank announced the release of his next album, "Boy’s Don’t Cry," set for July of 2015. Unfortunately, your hopes were dashed on August 1, 2015, as the clock ticked past midnight and there was no album in sight. Again and again, the same story played out, and maybe you’re done now. If you are as hopelessly optimistic as I am, you can probably relate to the following experiences that come with putting your faith in Frank Ocean.

  1. Listening to "Channel Orange" on repeat because this might be the last thing we get from Frank.



    No, I'm fine. Really.

  2. Refreshingboysdontcry.coevery 30 minutes and getting frustrated every time you just see the library slip covered in due dates and the clock.



    Don’t tell me what time it is, Frank. Do you know what time it is? Time to drop this album.

  3. When someone says something like, "True art takes time."



  4. When it’s 11:59 p.m. on the due date for “Boys Don't Cry."

    3...2...1...

  5. When 12:01 a.m. hits and there still is no sign of the album.



  6. When you see that one friend who told you that you he wasn’t gonna come through.


    It's too soon for "I told you so."

  7. When you see a post about Frank Ocean doing something other than releasing the album.



    Oh, you got time to dye your hair?



    So that means the album is done, right?

  8. Being angry because you feel played, yet again.


  9. How you’re gonna be when you find out Frank finally dropped the album.



    1. Because, at the end of the day, we still believe in you, Frank.

    It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

    Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

    mu bucket list

    I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

    There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

    Great Value Colleges

    If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

    1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

    The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
