I'm Not Supporting Kim Or Talyor
I Speak Hip Hop

I never took the chance to discuss the whole Kardashian-West v. Swift debacle because I couldn't formulate the right words Since this story is going to be around for awhile because of the legal aspect and the fact that Kim is going to milk this, I decided to speak on it to tell you: I am #TEAMNEITHER!

If you don't know what's going on, this lovely article by BuzzFeed can give you the run down of what's up. If you want the rundown, Kim Kardashian-West called out Taylor Swift for being a "liar" and trying to make her husband, Kanye West, an "asshole" for his lyrics for the song, "Famous" by posting a video for her confirming her consent for the lyrics. This turned the internet upside down!

Did I rejoice? Oh yes, I did as I do not stand for Taylor Swift, but I don't stand for Kim either. Conflicted I was. My worst enemy trashing my other enemy? Dear lord, I was caught between a rock and a hard place, but I decided team neither. You might be thinking, "Elandra, why don't you like either person?" Well, reader, let me tell you.

Taylor Swift, to me, was always fake. Being fake surprised when she wins awards that she knows she was going to win (Except for 2016's "Album of the Year" at the Grammys...Kendrick Lamar SHOULD have won that and she shouldn't have beaten Beyonce at MTV's 2009 VMA Awards, but I digress). Her fake "GIRL POWER, FEMINISM" aesthetic disgusted me as if you stop doing what she wants you do, she will try anything to destroy you (i.e. Katy Perry). She lies or acts like a pawn on others to make herself look good (i.e. Kanye West, Nicki Minaj, and Calvin Harris). She tries to be the perfect person, but ends up on her ass every time. Kanye West, slick, made you famous, darling as nobody was crowding for Taylor, except for the country listening crowd and you left them. We give Taylor Swift too much credit, she hasn't done anything amazing, musicality to put her on pedestal. Her songs are the same "oh woe is me" bullsh*t. She's the "Regina George" of the music industry like Katy Perry. She will bat her eyelashes and smile in your face to stab you in your back, I hate hypocrites, which brings me to...

Kim Kardashian-West, not a fan. I respect her business savvy as she turned a negative into a positive and that she's down for her husband, but I never liked her thirst for attention. She posts a picture of herself naked, but cried about being naked on her TV shows. She's a cultural appropriator, along with the rest of her messed up family. She only mess with African Americans when it's convenient for her i.e. Kanye and bevel of previous relationships or when it looks cute. My culture ain't something to take and act like it's not there. I don't appreciate that.

So Taylor and Kim, I don't like either of ya'll. #TEAMNEITHER

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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?
