Its real, its raw, its funny AF, Insecure is a show that will have you dying of laughter and catching real-life moments most late 20-year-olds experience in life. For those who have never heard of the HBO show Insecure, the show centers around the life of Issa Dee, a young Black woman who struggles to navigate her professional and romantic life. Issa is from Inglewood, California who struggles to fit in at work by being the only Black person in a white-dominated non-profit organization that helps inner-city students in Los Angeles with their education. At work Issa experiences microaggression from her colleagues where she keeps from lashing out at them by talking to herself in the mirror which are the best scenes in the show! Issa confronts herself in the mirror by talking to herself or at time rap to pump herself up just like us when we are alone in the bathroom which is HELLA hilarious in the show! Take a look:

1. "I don't make love, I fuck"

2. "Do you want your man or nah?"

Some mirror scenes in the show tie in with her love life which is complicated throughout the series. Without giving much of the show and her relationship status all I can say is that Issa is a savage! Her love life consists of a long-time relationship, cheating, friends with benefits, and broken hearts. For those who watch the show people are either team Lawrence (that's me!) or team Daniel. Personally, Issa's love life is one of the reasons why I get eager for the next episodes throughout the series. You never know what is going to happen with the men in Issa's life since she is going through her "Hoe" phase. Besides her professional and romantic life friendship is also a theme in the show. Molly Carter is Issa's best friend and for those who women who have a best friend for friends you know how real and funny talks can get when you hit your twenties.

3. Please prepare yourself for the epic season 3

Overall this show is fantastic, people within their 20's through 30's can relate to this show regarding any gender. The show is filmed in Los Angeles specifically around Inglewood, Baldwin Hills, Mid-City, Santa Monica, and Malibu. The show also exhibits great music from artists such as Miguel, SZA, GoldLink, and Frank Ocean. This comedy-drama is too good to miss, it has been nominated for two Emmys this year just to show how great the show is. You will find yourself laughing out loud and binge-watching seasons 1 and 2 once you start the pilot episode, but don't worry because season 3 comes right your way on Sunday, August 12th on HBO!

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, 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."

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…

Great Value Colleges

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.
