13 Facts That Prove Bruno Mars Is The Real Deal

Kai Z Feng

I love, love, love Bruno Mars. He's one of the purest talents of today and I honestly believe he has the talent and style to be the next Michael Jackson. Unfortunately, I haven't found many people that agree with me, but that hasn't stopped me from boasting about him every chance I get. If you don't think Bruno Mars is perfection, maybe this list will convince you otherwise. If you are already aware of Bruno's skills, this list will simply be a joy to read.

1. His real name is Peter Gene Bayot Hernandez.

True artists have a boss stage name and it doesn't get much better than Bruno Mars.

2. He was the world's youngest Elvis impersonator. (Age 4)

How can you not think this is the greatest thing ever?

3. He founded a songwriting/production team that crafted several major hits like "Right Round' by Flo Rida

4. He has co-written and collaborated on multiple major hits.

Such as "Nothin' on You" by B.o.B., "Billionaire" by Travie McCoy, "Lighters" by Bad Meets Evil, "Young, Wild, & Free" by Snoop Dog, and several others.

5. He sings AND plays the drums, keyboard, bass, and guitar

Actually, his whole family is musically gifted.

6. He is heavily influenced by Michael Jackson, Elvis Presley, Amy Winehouse, Alicia Keys, R. Kelly, and James Brown.

7. He is one of two artists to have a #1 hit song that only features piano and vocals.

8. He has won four Grammys and various other awards.

9. He also performed at the Grammys

...and several other awards shows such as the BET Awards, the American Music Awards, the Billboard Music Awards, and the VMAs.

10. He is the youngest artist to serve as the sole headliner for an NFL SuperBowl Halftime show.

and he killed it!

11. He has sold over 100 million albums

12. He's an exceptional dancer

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
