It was a typical day as I was scrolling through music to listen to. I always try to expand my horizons and listen to other artists and rappers. I stumbled upon a rapper named Pouya. It sounds like an outrageous name for a rapper of course. But, upon listening to some songs, I was interested in this rapper and I saw a kind of potential brewing under these beats and flow.

He has a kind of uniqueness to him with his voice that sounds hazy and is a bit changed by some effects. Pouya has that nice flow that rappers typically have. I found myself intrigued because I like listening to rappers that have a nice flow and rhyming ability. When you look at him, his appearance does not look like a typical rapper having long black hair and being tall and skinny with jeans.

Pouya's debut project "Underground Underdog," was a good album that showed his flow and rhyming ability. His clever use of words helped move the project. Some songs were not so good, but the ones that were good hit a mark. Pouya seems to have found his own unique voice that sounds dark and eerie. Highlights are songs like "Energy," "Scrubs," "Great Influence," "Yuh," The last song "41," has a depressive feel to it that ends the album on a sad note.

What this upcoming underground rapper needs to work on is his delivery and on working more substance into his raps. Rapping more than just about women, drugs, and money to reach another level. Other rappers rap about the same topics.

Pouya just released his latest mixtape "Drop out of School," on February 24, 2017. The beats on the project are very well done and all pack a punch. The first song "I Decided," has a menacing beat to it and starts the mixtape off very well. Other highlight songs include "Drop Out of School," which seems to be the central song to the whole project as the cover has Pouya and his friend Fat Nick outside the Miami high school in flames. Pouya raps with nice lyrics, "Take a gamble with life, a young drop-out, Momma told me I was never gonna make it. Now I got a hundred women tryna get me naked."

They two have good chemistry working together. The mixtape keeps to a central theme of two kids starting from bleak future's dropping out of school and pursuing a rap career. Pouya successfully pulls it off and now has everything he has always wanted. Another good song is "Torch," is is a very catchy song filled with a nice chorus and beat. One of the catchy lyrics in the song goes like, "All these rappers know that the Underground Underdog hold the torch." He is saying how his old project holds the fire or torch for rap music. The other track "Middle of the Mall," is a song that brags about riches and fame. The overall project flounders in the fact that the second half falls short and that it clocks in at around only 26 minutes, which is very short for a project or mixtape.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
