5 Reasons Why Donald Glover Is The Best

Donald Glover- the Atlanta native who has conquered the world of sitcom television is also an actor(in movies too), comedian, writer and rapper(his stage name is Childish Gambino if you don’t know). Every move he makes leaves his fans wanting more, because he’s just that good. Here are 5 reasons why I love Donald Glover:

1. Music

After hearing the Community star was going to try his hand at music, many were skeptical. We knew Donald Glover as a successful comedian and actor, but rapper? Maybe not so much. However, he proved many(like myself) wrong. After I heard him rap for the first time on some show on MTV (I know, right?) I fell in love with his flow and I’ve been hooked ever since. From “Campfire” to his smooth cover of Tamia’s “Into You”, Childish Gambino has taken the music world by storm. Hopefully we get more music that resembles the success of 2013’s “Because the Internet” later in the year if(when) Gambino chooses to release more music.

2. Looks

From his hair to his style, everything about Donald Glover screams, CARE FREE BLACK BOY! Living in the media-social-image-conscious world that we live in, it’s nice to see someone who cares more about comfort of his clothes than the designer on the tag. However, the man does know how to rock a tux (circa 2015 Grammy Awards). You’re welcome.

3. Stand-up

His stand up specials are HILARIOUS! I’ve seen every Comedy Central special, and then I watched "Weirdo" on Netflix. If you haven’t seen any of his specials, go to a computer right now and be prepared to laugh harder than you have ever laughed in your life.

4. TV

From writing on “30 Rock” to starring in “Community” as Troy, we’ve learned that when it comes to tv, Donald Glover can do anything and everything. More of his awesomeness will be in effect on September 9, when his new show, “Atlanta” will premiere on FX. Not only does he star in it, but Glover will also be one of the executive producers and he writes most of the 10 episodes of the first season.

5. Vulnerable

In this media crazy world we live in, it's nice to have a celebrity who let's us into their world. I'm not talking about the reality tv route, like the Kardashian/Jenner's, or the "I'm-going-to-cry-because-I-think-about-my-ex while-listening-to-your-music" singers, like Drake. But instead, we've learned about his first heartbreak, how he deals with insecurities and wondering if the next move he makes is going to be a good one.


So, thank you Donald Glover/Childish Gambino, you've really made this world a better place.

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?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
