5 Straight Outta Compton Quotes That Relate To College

If you've ever seen the movie "Straight Outta Compton" then you know how inspiring it really can be. Besides the gangsta women, weed and unending raps - the message behind the story really shows how life is just nuthin but a 'g' thang. College can seem like it's an incomparable sense of craziness, but these "Straight Outta Compton" quotes are so relatable in college.

1. "Open the door man, c'mon open the door."

Please, professor, I know I'm 30 minutes late to class and look like I haven't slept in days, but if you would just let me in this one time and let me take this test!

2. "Y'all mf need to be gang bangin' them books instead of tryna be something y'all aint."

Time to get your ass in check and focus on school. Quit the partying every night, quit trying to talk to different girls every night and remember what you're paying all this money for.

3. "'50 dollars makes you rich?' 'It's a start.'"

I know I have $8.00 in my bank account, but that leaves enough for a shot in Buckhead AND food on the way back, I'm set.

4. "You don't care what I'm fighting for. I already know what I want to do with my life and it definitely ain't sitting in no cubicle on a bullshit ass job."

I know my major seems way too hard, I know it seems crazy that I'm actually going to school to be able to travel the world, but I promise I will not be sitting in an office at a desk for the rest of my life.

5. "Do whatever the f*ck you gotta do."

Professor, if you really feel like you can't bump that 89.34 to a 90 I understand, but just know I hate you and I'm rating you terribly on rate my professor, cause I gotta do what I gotta do.

I love "Straight Outta Compton" and it's not just because they are complete bad-asses, but because they took all of their struggle and turned it into some awesome careers and absolutely amazing records. They took the quote "started from the bottom now we here" to a whole new level. Ice Cube wrote the track "Boyz-In-The-Hood" and it changed their lives forever. Dr. Dre sold his beats to apple for $620 million and if that isn't inspiring then go watch the movie and tell me how inspired you are then.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

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?
