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.

    For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

    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.
