Lady Gaga & Ariana Grande 'Rain on Me'
https://hypebeast.com/2020/5/lady-gaga-ariana-grande-rain-on-me-music-video

Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande, two very popular musicians joined forces for their new song called “Rain on Me”. They released the song at midnight on May 22, 2020 with a video released the following afternoon. The visual is a futuristic cyberpunk-styled offering dripped in metallic with intricate dance numbers. The song is part of Lady Gaga's newest project; “Chromatica”. Within the music video, it starts with Lady Gaga laying on the floor with injuries and a knife in her leg. She is wearing a pink futuristic outfit and rain is falling all over her.

My favorite line from the song is "I'd rather be dry, but at least I'm alive. Rain on me." I like how it is a powerful statement about troubles that happen and somedays it might be terrible but others will be magical.

While Lady Gaga is dancing with her backup dancers she jumps and the camera changes perspective into her reflection. The reflection leads to introducing Ariana Grande, who is wearing a purple, butterfly outfit. Ariana Grande's voice brings a melody to the song and mixes well with Lady Gaga's powerful voice. As the song goes on both Gaga and Grande dance in the rain and their reflections flip. Also days after the release of the music video, Gaga and Grande posted a video of them broadcasting the "weather" for their collaboration.

Overall the music video enhances the song. The new single appears to be heading for a possibly No.1 on the top Billboard Hot 100 songs in June. It is also the first single for Gaga to debut in the chart top spot.

I believe this song will be a 2020 summer song because of its beat and catchiness. Besides this song I can't wait to hear all of Lady Gaga's new album, which she said herself "the music actually healed me". Chromatica, a sixteen song album about freedom, love, color, and dancing.

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.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. 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?
