#MyVoteWillCount: YelloPain

His name is YelloPain, and he is an informative 24-year-old, Ohio raised, and soon to be star. YelloPain began rapping at the early age of 7 in Dayton Ohio, where he was not taken seriously. It wasn't until he started rapping in the church that he was able to gain respect from those around him and really showcase his talent. After growing out of playing churches, he went on to partake in rap battles, perform at nightclubs and venues around his hometown.

With his career beginning to take off in 2019 and 2020, Yellopain has used this opportunity to educate the younger generations. This rapper is wise beyond his years and has a way of informing the youth about the political systems and the oppression that our country has placed on African Americans.

YelloPain has been an outspoken advocate of the BLM movement and in his video release of "The Impossible Game", he puts several things into perspective that will 100% give you the chills. By standing up for what he believes in, YelloPain is going to make history and be a strong leader for generations to come.

Aside from speaking out about oppression and systematic racism, YelloPain has taken a different approach to informing those about our voting system. This election is one of the most influential that we may see in our lifetimes. However, in YelloPain's newest song "My Vote Don't Count", he takes the leadership role in explaining the other branches of government. He really is able to explain that our voices need to be heard more than just every four years and the only way to really influence change is by being an active voter at local, state, and national events. Out of everything that YelloPain has released, this song is my personal favorite and deserves a high-ranking spot on the charts.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

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.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

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.
