In a recent Instagram post, Ariana Grande boldly declared herself as "the hardest working 23-year-old human being on Earth." Many on the internet did not feel too enthused to agree.

Being a musician can be very difficult, and there is no doubt that this "Dangerous Woman" puts a lot of effort into working hours upon hours to do what she does, but this statement really offended a lot of people.

A 23-year-old mother wrote an opinion piece in reply to Grande's comment. "I started off at $10.50 an hour working nights, sitting at a table staring at thousands of little pieces of metal, packing them into boxes and sending them on their way. I was ale to work my way up enough that I now work in a nice, air-conditioned lab on day shift making $21.50 and hour." She further describes her life of growing up in a broken home and becoming the adult she is today.

A Twitter user also posted "... like there aren't 23-year-olds out [here] working 4 jobs to stay in their tiny apartments." Another user sarcastically agreed with the pop star's comment, "Yea Arianna Grande is the hardest working 23-year-old on Earth not the ones struggling making 60 cents a day trying to provide for their families."

The caption seen around the world was posted with a picture of the singer on Saturday, January 14th, and has not been deleted; who knows if it ever will be? Despite the backlash from those who took offense, there are also people who are on Grande's side and have no hesitation when it comes to defending her.

One Twitter user tweeted that Grande is "like the hardest working female recording artist! the girl works non stop!" while another thanked the pop star in a tweet for "always working the hardest for us [the fans]," before the Instagram post even existed.

The chaos from the caption has simmered down on social media, especially now that Inauguration Day has passed and there will be more important issues to focus on than a singer's caption on a social media post.

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.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

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.
