My First Homecoming As A College Student

This past weekend was my first homecoming as a student at Tuskegee University. I’m originally from Tuskegee, but there is something different when you actually take part in all of the events. From the comedy show to the game, everything was a success. Tuskegee homecoming is known all over the world for their exciting events and people from all walks of life coming to celebrate with their alma mater. One of my favorite parts of homecoming is being able to turn up with the band while singing “Whether sunny or gray we gone ball and parlay! We get crunk everyday! That’s the Tuskegee way." If you haven’t gone to an HBCU homecoming, it is a must. It is a good way to get away for the weekend and be around good vibes while networking with intelligent African Americans. There is a variety of food from black-owned businesses. People I haven’t seen all year I get a chance to reconnect and hang out with them for the weekend. I honestly can say I enjoyed my freshmen year homecoming and I can’t wait til next year. I hope I will see you there!

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.

There are a lot of foods in this world, but there is only one dish that stands above the rest: Pizza. If you're close to me or at least know who I am, then you know that I'm totally obsessed with pizza. It's one of my favorite things to eat and I will NEVER turn down a slice, even if it doesn't have my favorite toppings. There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not thinking about pizza. I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.
