RIP Prince

The legend has passed.

RIP Prince
the guardian

Many people are grieving due to Prince dying this past week in Minneapolis, Minnesota. On April 15, Prince had a close call on his plane where it had to be emergency landed due to him being unconscious and then rushed to the hospital. The University of Minnesota is even thinking about awarding Prince with an honorary doctorate and were considering this even before his death.

People are still mourning and creating memorials for him. There are many rumors going around about a possible drug overdose despite his previous anti-drug comments. He apparently suffered from severe stage fright and in order to cope with that he used Dilaudid and Fentanyl. According to different publication, he overdosed on these medications. Also according to different publications, there is no known will. According to NBC News, he has one full sister and she stated that there is no known will. She filled out the paperwork to administer of his estate.

I find it hard to believe someone with that much money does not have a will. In property alone he has $27 million. Another aspect of this news article stated that it is suggested that for Prince money was very tight. He was 57 and randomly just died. No one knows why either. The autopsy has not been released to the public yet.

There is talk about Prince having some underlying health condition that the general public was not aware of. We all want to know the real cause of his death. He was just really young just to randomly pass. I mean sure it happens that way once in a while, but not often enough to think twice about the situation.

Many people are very upset and as they should. Prince changed the music world forever. "Purple Rain" and "Stare" are by far some of his tops songs that most people know. Prince has helped many other musicians grow and be free to express themselves. For example, I heard on the radio that Kesha actually broke into his house to give him her demo before she got signed. He did not freak out or anything. He just laughed and took it. How awesome is that?

Personally, I would not have the guts to break into anyone's house especially if they are famous but kudos to Kesha for getting the nerve to do something like break into Prince's house. she was saying how she’s surprised she did not get any in trouble and how cool he was about the situation. She went on to say that if she did that now it probably would not have been okay and that if she was to see him she would give him a big hug. The whole situation could have ended very badly but Prince was just an understanding person and did not want any trouble. Many looked up to him due to how he cared so much for everyone and their wellbeing. Rest in piece Prince, we will miss you greatly.

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.
