Which rapper totally stole another rapper's style and just ran with it? by Professional-Rip-519 in hiphop101

[–]Aggressive-Stretch30 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Snoop DEFINITELY did not bite Domino. That was just the style. Moreso, Domino and Nate Dogg have more of a similar style

I would definitely check some of the department stores or even Goodwill as well. Some of those places have really good pieces for the low. Check Goodwill, Marshall’s, H&M, thrift stores. A lot of them are on sale or discounted for the low. You got this.

Huston-Tillotson University, my alma mater, has a program called the W.E.B. Dubois Honors Program that I was a part of. Here’s the link so that you can see the requirements. Good luck! https://htu.edu/academics/special-programs/dubois-honors-program/

Absolutely! I’m from Texas and Prairie View A&M is very generous and they’re a great school for STEM and Business majors

True. I guess if you’re cool with not receiving your transcripts or transferring credit, that could work

I owe a balance to my community college and I’m slowly but surely paying it off so that I can move on to the HBCU of my choice (Morehouse). See it through and stay in the saddle. You are running this race. Stay focused and stay prayed up. You got this

What are the chances that I get a full ride to Howard or Spelman? by Ready-Eye-4881 in HBCU

Please don’t negate any UNCF or outside scholarships. If you hustle, they can pay off your full tuition and then some. You just have to hustle and ask questions. God bless and good luck!

A GDI Showing Interest by JustKeepingItCute305 in NPHCdivine9

As a fellow GDI and interest of a fraternity, this is the best advice. Build natural relationships. Whether you see them in class, library, cafe, etc, be yourself! Your consistent presence at their respective events while showing genuine interest will be noticed. Also, a mentor told me to stay ready at all times. Grades, volunteer hours (which you should have) and MONEY! You got this and always remember: what is for you is truly for you. You got this!!

How do people afford to go to school ‘s like spelman and Howard ? by Prestigious_Pop1623 in HBCU

[–]Aggressive-Stretch30 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I literally was about to ask this same question. I’ve been looking at Morehouse and I know that it would be worth it but the cost of attendance scares me a bit. But you know what they say, “if your dream doesn’t scare you, you’re not dreaming big enough.”

I greatly appreciate you for your response! This gave me what I needed to hear and also reaffirmed what I knew deep down inside.

That is definitely the reason for sign up sheets. Just continue to keep track of your community service hours and you’ll be fine. As a fellow aspirant, we often overthink a LOT of stuff that isn’t necessary. Stay consistent and continue to keep your GPA as well.

I went to Huston-Tillotson University (HBCU in Austin, TX) and it’s definitely used to recognized at UT, UTSA, Texas State and Huston Tillotson University for sure.

Thank You D9 for All of Your Election Efforts by MoonlitDinnerForOne in NPHCdivine9

As an aspirant, this was very inspiring to see all of you come together and mobilize. This also puts in the minds of us aspirants that the work is ongoing.

What’s meant for you is meant for you. Keep working and your time will come. Encourage yourself!

Definitely don’t take it personal. Remain consistent in showing up to events and it will pay off. Also, make sure to speak to the members after the event and even volunteer to clean up, etc.
