Mac Miller, My Favorite Artist, Is Dead... And I'm Not OK

Saying goodbye to one of my favorite artists.

Mac Miller, My Favorite Artist, Is Dead... And I'm Not OK

I first discovered Mac Miller back in 2011 when he first released his album, "Blue Slide Park." I fell in love with the song "Missed Calls" and I've been a huge fan of his ever since.

You can imagine the feelings I have right now after hearing of his death.

Mac was that type of artist that always made a hard day not seem so bad anymore. He was my go-to for when I needed to cheer up my spirits, release all my emotions, or even focus on studying for a test. He never made a bad album, released a weak song, or disappointed his fans.

His music was not only an inspiration for people like me but for other artists as well. He helped other artists to find their sound, launch their career, and was always there when a friend needed him. "I don't know what to say. Mac Miller took me on my second tour ever. But beyond launching my career he was one of the sweetest guys I ever knew. Great man. I loved him for real. I'm completely broken. God bless him," stated Chance The Rapper.

Mac Miller was a good person. He truly did not deserve this life.

I had the privilege of getting to see him perform on his last tour for his previous album "The Divine Feminine" and it was clear that he wasn't there to perform for the money, but to put on his best show to thank his fans for always being there. Instead of letting the fame get to him, Mac did his very best to give back to his fans in every way he could.

He may be gone, but his impact on my world will never disappear.

Album after album, Mac Miller has continued to touch my heart for seven years. Finding the words to say goodbye to an artist like him is nearly impossible. While his continuance to make music is gone, he blessed our world with eight beautiful albums, filled with life lessons that everyone can relate to.

It's up to us to have his music live on. It's up to us to let the young man from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania have the impact that he always wanted. We cannot let that die too.

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?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
