Power to THE Couple of 2016

Drake and Rihanna are OFFICIALLY together?!?! Finally.

Power to THE Couple of 2016
ET! Online

Any one who knows anything about pop culture knows that last Sunday's VMA's will go down in history, particularly for one reason and one reason only: Drake confessed his love to Rihanna for all the world to see, FINALLY. I can personally say that I predicted this romance to have been blooming since before Aubrey and Robyn's collaboration in "Take Care" back in 2011 because of a particular saucy lyric that I will leave ambiguous because it seems too obvious now. But now that he has made it clear that their relationship is official, I can say that they are officially my favorite power couple as of Sunday.


My admiration for the couple stems from the lack of relationship experience I have, and the fact that, up to this point in time, they seem to emulate a happy, stable relationship. Their chemistry is off the charts despite the two having had previously claimed excessively that they were just friends for the past (almost) decade they have known each other. Who doesn't remember the two on Rihanna's music video for "Work"?

Drake waited over half a decade to finally be with the girl of his dreams. Now that's patience. And it's proving to be sublimely worth it for both the two new lovebirds and us fans who have been waiting for the moment they officially become a couple.

Throughout both of their careers, Drake and Rihanna have shown to have mutual respect for each other's work. In Drake's VMA speech to his beau, he mentioned how he absolutely loved Rihanna's work, even in her early stages when she was releasing songs like "Pon de Replay" and others from "Music in the Sun". In the years to follow, our ears have been blessed with the collaborations of Rihanna and Drake on songs from "What's My Name?" to "Work". If you didn't love being around the people you work with, why even bother to choose to collaborate with them in the first place?

And last, but definitely not least, both Rihanna and Drake are just two awesome people. I follow Rihanna on SnapChat (badgal) and she is one of the finest people on social media. Even though she's been given so much -ish on tabloids doing, wearing and saying things that are considered too inappropriate, she continues to not give a care. She still does HER. Same with Drake. Throughout his music career, he has been given -ish for his music, yet he still keeps doing HIM. This is so important in any relationship: to realize your worth on your own. After all, when things come crumbling down because of your significant other, who is the only person who can help you get back up again? You.

All in all, I love Rihanna and Drake together. I felt it from the moment I heard that lyric in "Take Care", wondering if she would ever let him know if she was ready. Obviously, she's finally ready to take things to the next step with him, and honestly, she deserves a good man. I mean, look at the way that he kisses her! They are goals in and of themselves and, together, they are couple goals.

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.
