Mac Miller: 60 Days Sober And Spreading The Love
Mac Miller

Mac Miller, American rapper at age 24, recently added a 4th album to his collection, “The Divine Feminine,” released on September 16, 2016, and it's giving the industry a well-needed dose of love. Appearing on Power 106 in Los Angeles on the 15th, he talked about the album, his love life, and the creative process and how it has differed from his other work. After a show in London, Mac came to understand the lack of female presence at his shows and decided to start working on a new project. The masterpiece, “The Divine Feminine,” features Kendrick Lamar, Cee-Lo Green, Ty Dolla $ign, Anderson. Paak, Njomza, and Bilal. The album includes his grandmother’s story of her and her husband’s love and marriage and a central message of the realest thing humans have, love.

While talking on Power 106, Mac talked about how the album is him taking a risk, putting out songs that he has only done in private before. Understanding forthcoming hate on the album for its more meaningful substance, Mac explained what he wanted his fans to get out of it. “I think I want them to appreciate love, in all forms of the word love, like how complex and important a feeling like that is in the world”. He started to create "The Divine Feminine" after a London show for his last album, “GO:OD AM”, after seeing how many more males were present then females. Mac said on the air, “I want to speak to everyone, I haven’t been talking about love”. That he has accomplished in "The Divine Feminine." The album takes the listener on a journey through meaningful lyrics, a piece of Mac’s personal love life, and an opening and closing audio of his grandmother telling the listener about her and her husband’s love affair, and how wonderful it is to understand love, and be in it.

Taking his mindset, and letting the work come through him naturally, unlike his last album approaches, Mac has succeeded with his masterpiece, sending us a message we need to absorb. Posting on Instagram on the 20th, of a positive reaction video to his work, he captioned it “listen to the album. Have an experience”. Everyone could use a sit down and listen through of “The Divine Feminine,” and give his message a chance. We all need more love in our every day anyways.

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?
