Chris Brown Under Fire Again

This time, he's innocent.

Chris Brown is an icon. He has done the unthinkable in his music career, and he continues to blow the minds of his fans every single day. Yet, people are still unsatisfied with him. He has had some bad days, don’t get me wrong, but this man grew up in front of America. He made the same mistakes that many people have made in their lives, but because it's him, everyone goes crazy.

On August 30, 2016, a woman called 911 because Chris Brown allegedly held a gun to her head. The story is that Baylee Curran attended a party at Chris Brown’s house the night before the call. Baylee claims that Chris and his friends were showing some jewelry to all the women that were there. She later says that Chris felt like she got “too close” to the jewelry and his friend told her not to touch it. She claims that Chris got very upset with her and began to yell and scream at her, telling her to “get the hell out.” Chris then, allegedly, put a gun to her head and told her to leave before he shoots her. Chris Brown says that none of this happened. He claims that he was in the bed sleep from a long day of work, when he woke up to a large amount of police officers knocking at his door.

I feel so bad for Chris because I feel like people just don’t want to allow him to be a better person. He hasn’t been involved in any huge scandals ever since his prior incident with Rihanna. He made mistakes, and he grew from them like everyone else has. I don’t see why we as a people can’t just let other people be. We always have to judge and comment on another person’s life. This man is now a father, and a great one at that, but people still find a way to shame him.

Chris had a lot to say about this himself. He made several Instagram videos expressing how he feels like a victim. He says that he’s just trying make his music, and be a great father to his daughter. This woman who made these huge accusations was later found to be lying about all of it. The police ended up searching Brown’s home after they arrested him, and finding that no gun ever existed.

The thing I don’t understand is why the LAPD found it necessary to send an entire SWAT Team to this man’s house based on an accusation. There are more serious things happening in Los Angeles, and they chose to entertain an accusation with a full SWAT Team as if Chris had actually killed someone. The woman was long gone and away from the house, so I don’t understand why the police even needed to search his home. In general, I just feel that the police should focus their attention on way more important things. There are actual murders taking place across LA and this frustrates me. I strongly believe that this was a waste of time and people should stop harassing Chris Brown. Let the man be great, and let him continue to be a father to his adorable baby girl.

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.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.

All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
