Appreciating The Life Of Nipsey Hussle

Ermias Joseph Asghedom, famously known as Nipsey Hussle was recently murdered on March 31st, 2019 in front of his self-made store in his hometown. He was a 34-year-old rapper, songwriter, entrepreneur, and an activist, especially in his own community.

Nipsey Hussle was very much involved in his community and consistently giving back to his people. He was highly admired by the people around him because of his positive deeds. Being an outsider looking into his work and service, he is highly appreciated because we need people like him. We needed him. His care and love for not only his city of Los Angeles but his people bring so much light to his life and what he truly stood for while he was on this earth.

The funeral was held on April 11, 2019, and some lovely words were shared about Nipsey by his girlfriend and mother of one of his children Lauren London. She expressed that " His soul was majestic...a gentle father, and a patient leader, a divine light, and brilliant…". These words coming from a person so close to him shows that he was an amazing person. Words were also shared from his brother Samiel Asghedom "he walked into the room he was the um.. he took control of the world, he was positive, even at a young age."

A marvelous man was taken away from us from senseless Gun violence only raised awareness to the people. It raised awareness on how we should only look out for each other and spread only love because the hate isn't the way to go, it will not bring light and greatness to any situation. Nipsey would want us to spread love and positivity amongst each other because that is literally all he did. Rest In Peace NIP, thank you, your legacy will live on.

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

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."
