15 Reasons We're Blessed Drake Was Born

If you're reading this, Drake turned 29 on Saturday. In all his 29 years, he has blessed us all with music, aesthetics, and memes. Let's take a look at some of my favorite reasons why Drake is alive.

1. Music

How could this not be number one? Everyone can name at least one Drake song, it's impossible not to. And most likely, you end up dancing like this when one of his songs comes on.

2. His sweater game

Boys in sweaters might be a weakness of mine, but how can it not be? Don't you just want those arms to wrap around you and for him to tell you, “I know they say the first love is the sweetest, but that first cut is the deepest.”

3. This picture of him holding a dog


If you're ever upset and need something to cheer you up, look at this picture. What's better than this?

4. His love for his mom

We (avid fans) all know Drake loves his mom. It's clear in his many of his songs such as "You & The 6," "Look What You've Done" and "Star67" to name a few.

5. The hot bod he's just acquired

Yeah I don't want to talk about this one anymore.

6. His role on "Degrassi"

Everybody and their mother loved Jimmy Brooks. Love you and miss you.

7. Memes

Drake has become such a meme in the Internet world and he continues to feed it. After his "Hotline Bling" video dropped, the Internet went insane. Vines such as this one among many others have popped up everywhere. Even "The New York Times"wrote an article about his meme-ness.

8. The Meek Mill feud

This summer involved quite the fight in the rap world. The whole feud was hysterical and even lead to Drake dropping two insanely great diss tracks. In case you need a refresher, here's a timeline of the whole thing.

9. Apps he's inspired a.k.a. Drizzy keyboard and Drake Shake

Two of my favorite apps are Drake related. Are we surprised? Drizzy is a keyboard that includes lyrics from his songs that you can tap and put in all your conversations. Unfortunately it's no longer in the app store but we're hoping it comes back soon. The other is Drake Shake -- pick a picture and shake Drake into it. Genius.

10. He's a pretty classy guy

Look at this -- even Future is praising his clean act.

11. Nicki Minaj


Their relationship makes me so happy and sad at the same time. Remember when he bought her all the snacks she wanted? And when she performed "SuperBass" and he just sat there and smiled? Ugh, my heart.

12. All the feelings

There are so many songs that convey Drake's feelings and we all know it. "Hotline Bling," "Jungle," "Connect" and many others will give you a sense of who Drake is.

13. His feminism

Although many girls have broke his heart, Drake still continues to treat every woman with such respect. You now see why I wanna marry Drake, right?

14. Baby Drake

There's a strong possibility this is hanging on my wall in my dorm and it's saved to my desktop. I mean, c'mon. Look at how cute he is.

15. And if there's one thing we all know for certain...

If a man (or woman) ever gets you down just remember Drake is there for you and has got your back.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
