While many may frown upon the obnoxiousness that is Kanye West, it is difficult to ignore his artistry and what he's up to.

Here's why:

1. He's a loyal friend:

He didn't just write a song about his longtime friend Jay Z called "Big Brother," but their collaborations have taken over the music industry with "Watch the Throne." West also supported Jay Z right away with his music streaming app, Tidal, and exclusively released "The Life of Pablo" only on Tidal, booming Tidal's subscribers.

2. He is unapologetic but is well aware of his mistakes:

Kanye West himself tweeted "Everyone makes mistakes. I just make them publicly."

3. Instead of falling into the pressures of media for him to apologize to Taylor Swift, he fiercely wrote a song about his apology and celebrating people who are just like him in "Runaway."

4. He didn't just stop at music; he successfully launched his own fashion line and changed the sneaker game with his Yeezy designs:

5. And can we talk about the time he launched Yeezy Season 3 along with "The Life Of Pablo" at Madison Square Garden and had it sold out?!

6. He is an asshole to the world but is a sweetheart to his family:

7. He wants the best for his children:

8. He advocates for African-Americans and doesn't care where he does it:

9. He knows he has haters but defies them:

10. His confidence level is goals:

11. He realized his mistakes with being rude to paparazzi and now respects them for doing whatever it takes to provide for their families.


12. He named his company for creatives after his late mother, Donda West:

13. His advice is just real:

14. Overall, he simply cares.

15. With 21 Grammys, a successful fashion line, and being one of TIME's influential people, it's safe to say that Kanye West contributes his vision to the world impeccably and backs up his claims about "being the greatest artist of all time."

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
