Goodbye Soulja Boy, Hello Bryce Vine

Goodbye Soulja Boy, Hello Bryce Vine

Fordham students have all heard by now that Soulja Boy has been dropped as Fordham's headliner for Spring Weekend. The announcement came following a few weeks of arrest rumors and general gossip among the student body stemming from media leaks of charges brought against the rapper by a woman who claims he held her hostage.

The news was met with a general consensus of disappointment from Fordham students who were anxious to find out who could possibly be replacing Soulja Boy so last-minute. CAB (Campus Activities Board) surprised us all with a quick announcement of the entertainer who would be stepping in: Bryce Vine.

Bryce who? Vine what? I woke up from a nap to texts from at least five different friends all along the lines of: "WTF is this??" If you, too, were disappointed in the choice of replacement, you are in good company.

Most of my friends didn't recognize the name immediately. Even after a quick Google search told us that he was the artist behind the pop-hit "Drew Barrymore," we still didn't know much else about him or his music.

I've been doing a little personal research (AKA listening to his singles) and honestly? I was pretty impressed. His songs are low-key bops and I'm not mad about getting to hear him live. Some of my friends and classmates are still upset, but I'm pretty pumped.

Bryce Vine seems like a pretty great artist, and he has a fan base that keeps growing. We're lucky to have any performer so last minute, much less someone who's already making waves in the music world. If nothing else, it's a chance to listen to new music and enjoy time with your friends.

I have to admit though, I'm still a little upset. I'd been practicing my Pretty Boy Swag in the shower for a solid month and a half. No matter how good Bryce Vine's performance is, it's still disappointing that I don't get to Crank Dat with the Soulja Boy.

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.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
