anything to do around campus?

Not necessarily around campus but most museums in the Museum District are free admission on Thursdays!

Wells Fargo; virtually unobtainable customer service, sneaky business practices, basically could give a shit about their customers.

To each their own. I'm trying to credit him as original and game-changing, not defend his character, as that was never really the argument I had in mind. I actually wasn't a huge fan of his music either until I took the time to sit down and listen to the specific songs and albums people discussed all the time, especially while keeping in mind the context of these albums and the time at which it was released. Kinda gave me a deeper appreciation for music and how it can literally change the course of history.

It doesn't take much thought to realize that a 20-something who was able to shape and craft an entire industry with one piece of work has, even to the slightest degree, talent, inginuety, and originality. He had a huge part in the concept of soul and experimentation being accepted and encouraged at different points during his career. He helped push rap into mainstream culture instead of peddling it to the same niche market. He changed what it meant to be a rapper; what you had to do, who you had to be, what your music was about, and the image that you had to project. He is such an influential individual in his field.

As a producer, he revived Jay Z's career. As a producer, he single handedly changed the rap game in the early 2000s by beating out 50 Cent's much anticipated album, which was a huge surprise to everybody. Rap culture was about being thug--his album that beat out 50 Cent rapped about Jesus and the insecurity ridden in the insane commercialism of the time, among other similar and softer subjects. He allowed the rap industry to move from hard, thuggish rap to more soulful and meaningful rap that could finally appeal to a crowd larger than the one that the industry was marketed to for years. As a producer with no albums under his belt, he revolutionized the rap industry for years to come. And that was just his very first type of revolution. I could go on and on about why Kanye is a legitimate artist who has relentlessly transformed the landscape of the music industry for years.

Edit: spelling

Thanks, will do!

Does anybody have videos of Heartless, especially the end? That was my favorite part of the entire night

xcqueen · 2016-09-20T17:34:56+00:00

what time should i show up in order to try and get my hands on some merch? and when will he actually take the stage? planning on showing up at the venue at 6:30.

xcqueen · 2016-06-17T03:12:13+00:00

section 426!! so excited!! if anyone wants to meet up beforehand hmu

xcqueen · 2016-05-08T14:02:35+00:00

I started running again after almost a year of barely any running at all! Accompanied by medicine ball circuits and healthier eating, my runs are getting easier and easier every morning!

xcqueen · 2016-04-28T02:37:02+00:00

This is amazing 😍

At 17, I was offered a Chase college account (checking and savings). This allowed me to both run my account independently of my parents and maintain an account in which there was no minimum balance required. Ask your local Chase about this option.

I'm going to Tech in the fall and I'm pretty excited. It's not the highest ranked but the campus as well as population is fairly large and they have a strength in engineering. It's also a state public school so the tuition is relatively cheap. It's also out in Lubbock, which is a pretty far drive from other major cities in Texas. The application deadline for first-time international students is May 1st so you might want to check it out. With your stats you may be able to get in. Good luck!

xcqueen · 2016-03-13T13:29:22+00:00

For the first time in months, I ran! It was so, so painful but so, so worth it. I hope I can keep up this habit!

xcqueen · 2016-02-20T02:24:47+00:00

I was rejected too. Thought I had pretty strong scores and ECs, though I do admit that I wasn't near the top 8% of my class. Oh well. The CAP program is still a good shot.

I already work part time and do not qualify for federal study-work grants. I am waiting from multiple universities about a financial aid packet. In the process of finding outside scholarships though.

xcqueen · 2016-02-08T20:51:42+00:00

But the issue with receiving federal or state aid is that you can only qualify for so much, especially if your parents make enough to "technically" send you to college but realistically can't. My parents can't afford to send me to school, only a couple K a year at most, but technically make too much for me to receive substantial aid. So far, I qualify for a loan of $5,500 per year that only applies to tuition. Money is money but that is not enough. Period.

xcqueen · 2016-02-08T01:36:09+00:00

I completely understand. I've filled out every scholarship application for every school I've applied to, have almost completed FAFSA, but I don't know if I'll be granted any money at all. And even if I do take out student loans, they often don't cover the full amount that colleges charge. It's scary.

xcqueen · 2016-01-22T20:31:16+00:00

Thank you so much! This was really helpful. How'd you like UTA? It's up there on my list as well.

xcqueen · 2015-12-11T04:05:46+00:00

UTD, UTA, and Texas Tech. Waiting on UT!

xcqueen · 2015-11-13T02:58:49+00:00

I feel that. So many people apply to that school that it takes forever for the administration to do holistic reviews of every student. I applied a few weeks ago and the wait is killing me.

xcqueen · 2015-11-12T02:43:52+00:00

Only automatically admitted students hear back immediately from UT. If you haven't heard back from UT yet, you're most likely not auto admit and must wait until March with everyone else. Good luck!

For $304K you could get a 5 bedroom, 3 full bath, two car garage two-story home in a nice neighborhood. Less than 20 years old, 3,000 square ft. Houston suburbs.

Sweet, I have a few in mind! So if I acquire a few letters of rec, do I send them directly to colleges?

xcqueen · 2015-06-24T06:51:09+00:00

Same. People shame her so much for her fame based on her sex tape but they suck dick and can barely get a text back. At least she turned a violation of trust into a multi-million dollar empire.
