Everything You Need To Know About #FreeKesha

It just takes one look into your Twitter timeline to see the nearly two million mentions of the hashtag #FreeKesha appear.

For those wondering why it’s been four years since the “Tik Tok” singer has released any new music, it is due to a legal battle the singer is facing with her producer Dr. Luke.

Having worked with artists such as Rihanna, Britney Spears, and T.I., to name a few, Dr. Luke is a well-known persona in the music business, and it was not a surprise in 2009 that Kesha wanted to work with the producer.

The issues arose in 2013, a year after Kesha’s second album “Warrior” came out, with her wanting freedom from her label after creative disputes over her music. Through displaying the signs in her concert about her feelings concerning Dr. Luke, Kesha rose awareness of her current state in music and, in 2014, filed a lawsuit against the producer, claiming sexual harassment and abuse charges.

The case went on to be a two year back and forth battle, with both sides finally being decided in February 2016, sparking the media outcry from fans and musicians upon Kesha being denied the freedom from her label, Sony, and the six album deal her contract entails.

Kesha is free to work with another producer, however, the justice she seeks won’t be happening, and her fear of her music not being promoted is another huge factor. Kesha signed a binding contract with Sony, and the New York court judge over her case stated that the contract can’t be broken due to contract law.

Thousands of fans have shown their support, with singers such as Lady Gaga, Demi Lovato, and Ariana Grande publicly stating their support for Kesha’s freedom and the boycott of Sony products.

Kesha hasn’t spoken about the court ruling as of yet, but it will be interesting to see what moves she makes next, as her career is in jeopardy.

All she wants to do is make the music that made us fall in love with her carefree antics and ability to pump up the dance floor; hopefully, something will be done to her favor and to bring us back the dance beats music lovers have greatly missed.

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.

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?
