Most of us will be going back to school soon. Some of you will be going to a college or university for the first time. Here is a list of tips so you an make the most out of your freshman year experience.

1. Yes, have fun and party but DONT forget about your grades. Just like in high school, your freshman year GPA sets the tone for the next 3. 

2. find a small group of good friends. keep your circle tight. lots of things happen at college and you will need people who always have your back. 

3. spend your flex wisely bcuz its gone b4 you know it lol. not just your flex though all money. college is expensive so budget wisely. 

4.  Watch what you eat. The college diet of fast food is no joke. Beware of the pounds you may put on. Stay active

5. make the most out of your experience. don't just sit in your dorm. participate in campus activities, go to sporting events and be involved.

PRETTY LITTLE LIARS

The Pretty Little Liars show has taken the nation by storm but did you know it started as a book series?  I actually read the books and I think the show couldn't be better. The acting is great and it is just as suspenseful as turning pages. I would spoil the end but I'm a nice person . Just know its full of surprises and secrets. If you like the show, read the books while the television was on break. You will not be dissapointed.

Song of the Week !

 

Kid Cudi's new song Mojo So Dope is the song of the week. I've always been a Cudi fan, but I really enjoy the vibe of this song. The lyrics are also very hot. I give this song two thumbs up. To listen to more of Kid Cudi's music check out   http://www.currenthiphop.com/artists/kid_cudi

Certified Banger !

If you haven't heard this song yet, your missing out. The song is called Jizzle and it's by Young Jeezy and Lil Jon. When I listen to this song, my mind automatically went to the club scene.  The beat just makes me want to dance and Lil Jon brought crunk to the next level. Listen to the track and tell me what you think.

Super Star Style

Nicki Minaj emerged on the hip hop scene with a sexy style and quirky hair. Her style power was so great she has tons of young ladies or as some people know them Barbies who attempt to dress like her. Many of these attempts look ridiculous. People try to hard and copy Nicki's exact style. There are ways to get Nicki Minaj's crazy style without turning into a cloned copy of the self proclaimed harjuku barbie.  Mix in corsets in your wardrobe, leather bottoms and funky jewelry.  Below are a few outfits that give you Nicki's look without being a barbie clone. Even though the items in the images below are pricey, places like Forever 21, H&M and Urban Outfitters sell items with the same style.

Style Star

Ludacris is clearly one of the most stylish men in the Hip Hop industry.  I never thought I would utter those words.  When the rapper first came on the scene in 2000 with his platinum selling CD Back for the First Time, his look was his own. Wild Afro's, graffiti shirts, pinky rings, huge chains and untamed facial hair were all apart of his swag.  In recent years however, Ludacris has transformed into a well kept grown man. He ditched the tall tee's and big chains for suits and ties. The most dramatic change was his hair. The out of this world afro was cut down to a classic fade and the side burns disappeared. Overall, I think this was the best move Ludacris could have made. The more polished look reads "Grown Man Artist" and the old look reads "Carpet Kid Rapper". What do you think ?
