A Stream Of Thoughts About Spring Concert Performer Waka Flocka Flame
Anna Kane

When it was announced that Waka Flocka Flame and his resident DJ, DJ Whoo Kid, would be performing at my college's spring concert a few weeks ago, I had absolutely no idea what to expect. As someone who really only listens to rap music by Drake and occasionally Kendrick Lamar, I (still) only know one of Waka's hits ("No Hands"), and I knew I was in for a surprise. (For those curious, Mount Holyoke News reports that he also performed "Round of Applause," "50K," "O Let's Do It," and "Grove St. Party.")

Here's a review of Waka's $300,000, energetic performance at Mount Holyoke College from the random texts I sent and the thoughts I had during the concert, from the moment I stepped inside the very warm venue wearing denim short shorts and a black bodysuit to the lights coming up.

Wait, why is he performing here again?!

He cost howwww much!?

Hey look he's finally on stage!!!

I have no idea what the f*** he's saying.

He's very good at jumping. Damn. I will jump too.

I AM SO SWEATY.

Where did he go??

OMGG HE'S IN THE CROWD.

WOW HE IS SO TALLLLL.

AND ALSO VEGAN, LIKE HALF THIS SCHOOL!!!

**Flock over to wherever he happens to move in the crowd, unintentionally creating a moshpit**

(At this point I figured I should try to document how close I was to the performer himself, but the crowd was so intense I couldn't even get my phone out of my back pocket as people stepped on my toes.)

OMGGGG I JUST TOUCHED WAKA FLOCKA FLAME.

WOAHHH HE IS BACK ON STAGE.

I STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENING.

HE IS JUMPING AGAIN. A LOT.

I WILL ALSO JUMP. A LOT.

OMG IT'S "NO HANDS."

**Sings along to every word**

"Girl the way you're moving, got me in a trance--"

I don't know what this song is. Again.

I'm going to jump like Waka. Everyone else is doing it.

Where did he go??

It's only 11pm! He still has another hour to perform!!

Everyone is leaving. The lights are on. I should probably go.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

Great Value Colleges

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
