As the first week of December begins, it looks like music fans will be getting their Christmas presents early this year. Since the beginning of the month, fans have been greeted with new projects from artists we have longed to hear new material from. While some projects were expected, others came out of nowhere and put everyone on their heels for its release.

Our Christmas began on December 2nd as Childish Gambino released his first project since "Because the Internet" titled "Awaken, My Love!" In this project, Gambino switches from rapping to a funk and soul type style. The very next day, Drake's "More Life" project dropped. However, according to Drake "More Life" is not much of an album or mixtape, but it is more of a compilation album. It is a compilation of unreleased material from Drake and the rest of the OVO crew. And judging by the cover of the project, we might have to a potential feature from Drake's father at some point during the project.

The most shocking and most anticipated project is J. Cole's "4 Your Eyez Only" coming on December 9th. After his last project "2014 Forest Hills Drive" went double platinum without any features, Cole returns out of nowhere with this newest project that has many fans dying for its release. Not to mention that along with J. Cole announcing the new album, he also fired some shots along the way. On his new track "False Prophets," Cole took shots at the likes of Kanye West and Drake. He also serves up some heat in "Everybody Dies" potentially taking shots at the likes of Lil Uzi Vert, Lil Yachty, and others.

Overall, this will be a December to remember for many music fans. With many of our beloved artists deciding to gift their fans with new music, Christmas has come very early this year. And this music couldn't have come at a better time too. With many college students stressing over finals this month, it's good to have some new music to vibe to and help them make it through one of the most stressful times of their semester.

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2023, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.

Christmas is literally so close. We can almost taste it. But there is just one thing standing between you and the big day: FINALS. It's not the studying, lack of sleep, last minute cram sessions or crappy food intake that is the worst... but the fact that you cannot focus because, well, CHRISTMAS. How do professors expect you to focus when Christmas is soooo soon. For all my fellow Christmas lovers out there, I feel your pain.
