When something tragic happens to you sometimes you need time for yourself, or on the other hand you may have to throw yourself into work to distract you from what you really have to face. There are times it could be great because your creative juice can flow and it may bless the world. And at times you could drown in your sorrow and end up hurting yourself because you have no one to turn to, you just have to have the right people to uplift and steer you in the right direction. Kayne has been through a lot in the last 11 years from the death of his mother Donda West , from his first meltdown at the MTV music awards in 2009 , or the latest rant at his San Pablo concert this year. The question is what caused his melt breakdown?

In 2007 right after the release Graduation, Kanye's mother Donda passed away , West opened up about the tragic death of his mother Donda West in a interview with Q magazine in 2008 he unmasked that he felt responsible and accountable for her passing. This has influenced his music pattern from then to now currently where he only speak about his mother briefly in his lyrics like Clique' featuring Jay-z where he states that he went into deep depression when his mother passed , or FML on his current album where he talks aboutAsked by the magazine what in his life he has sacrificed for huge level of success, his response was his mother. He felt at that time if he never moved to California, his mother would have still been alive. He never really went into great detail in any interview about why he felt this way, but as a son who loves his mother I understand, because your mother is the first woman you ever love this started I believe is downward spiral. Then two years later at the MTV music awards he was seen on the red carpet drink a bottle of Hennessy. Even though he was nominated in a couple of categories he was snubbed , but that wasn't what triggered the first real meltdown. When the category of Best Female Video was being presented and Taylor Swift won he stormed the stage and told her and about 9 million viewers that Beyoncé should've won , which many agreed including myself. After that he took time to reflect because of the backlash that followed. After that he ranted but people accepted this was just Kayne West. Now to the latest situation with Mr.West where at his concerts he ranted about Jay-z and Beyoncé not being there after Kim Kardashian was robbed in Paris this past year, to Kid Cudi respecting the hierarchy because he made him , or him stating at his San Jose, California concert he didn't vote but if he did vote he would have voted Trump. Now after Kim was robbed at gun point in Paris he should have took some time off to focus on his wife and focus on his family, just like after the death of his mother he should have went away and mourned her loss. I believe if he would've went away he still could've been creative but learned how to deal with something traumatic at that time and for the future. We as the human race need to have more compassion for one another and pray verses talk and pointing out what's wrong with him.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
