Chance the Rapper is an extremely famous rapper from Chicago who is best known for his good will and awesome music. If you have never heard his music, you are really missing out. After finishing this article, listen to his albums Acid Rap and The Coloring Book to learn more about your favorite new artist.

Chance made his big breakthrough into the rap game around 2012 and since then, his popularity has only grown. His voice is unlike other mainstream artists and the messages in his music differ from track to track. Chance has been invited to SNL and, a little more notably, to the White House. He performed one of his most famous songs, "Sunday Candy," during the Christmas season for the Obamas. Jumping from rapping to singing, he deserves every ounce of his popularity. He has worked with tons of musicians, from Justin Bieber to Childish Gambino.

If you love music for the soul then you will love Chance the Rapper.

Aside from his musical success, Chance is also very active in Chicago. The rapper has visited many communities and schools in Chicago to show that he cares about the well-being of his fellow Chicagoans.

In his project with Kanye West titled "How Great," Chance says, “You meet anyone from my city, they gon’ say that we cousins.” This is super evident due to how much love Chance has shown for his city. On several occasions, Chance the Rapper has donated to the Chicago public school district and he has called on public officials to take responsibility. His donations, which are in the several millions, have gone to the arts programs of public schools in Chicago.

This is extremely important because more and more schools are stripping money from their arts budgets in order to put more money into sports and other programs. Companies and celebrities have also followed in Chance’s footsteps and he works to educate his fans about the inequalities of education in low-income cities. In the same efforts, he speaks out against the violence that exists in these Chicago neighborhoods.

It’s amazing to see a star who comes from West Chatham of Chicago, has risen to greatness, and still supports his community. Chance is showing future generations that they have value and deserve great educations. Chance also inspires people through his music with a popularity that is on the rise. I love Chance’s music, his social work and what he stands for. Don’t forget to listen to his music (which you’ll love) and to support him by attending his amazing concerts and donating to like-minded causes as well. Celebrities have access to a far-reaching voice and resources unlike others and representation makes a big difference for fans.

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.
