                                                         Eternal Atake and Lil Uzi                     By Robby Cerra

   (Lil Uzi performing at a concert, with his signature smile and just 5' 4" tall, makes him a fan favorite.)

     Lil Uzi has finally posted the release date to his newest album, Eternal Atake. This may not sound like a big deal without context, though the history behind this album is quite exciting. In June 2018 Lil Uzi Vert announced that he would drop Eternal Atake, or EA, at the end of 2018. Though, Uzi did not follow up on his promises, leaving his fans, as well as many others who heard about the hype disappointed. Although the fans were devasted, the album's popularity doubled overnight. This in part has to do with the fact that Lil Uzi Vert is one of the biggest artists out there right now, reeling in over 16 million listeners a month. Along with the best rap of his career, "XO Tour Llif3" which has over 1.2 BILLION streams on Spotify alone. What's more, his monthly listener stat number is before the drop, and Uzi is expecting a mass of new and intrigued listeners after his release of EA, according to his label.
     On February 28th, of this year Lil Uzi finally announced EA will be released on March 13th, 2020. To add on some momentum to the album, Lil Uzi dropped a short film to tease at the album, ringing in over 2.1 million views in just 14 hours on Instagram. Furthermore, teasing and personalizing the album, Uzi also let the fans pick the album cover on twitter, which excited the already antsy fans and others that have caught interest in the mass amounts of hype surrounding the album. Some are speculating the biggest album turn out of the year, and fans are already concurring that as well, making this quite the 2-year journey, for Lil Uzi Vert, as well as his excited fans too.

Ancient Greek Heroes VS. Modern Day Heroes

-

Heroes in Greek/Anglo-Saxon (I am grouping the types of historical literature we have read) writing are very obvious and much of ancient Greek literature involves a central hero or a supernatural story. In modern day English, however, the plots are less often mythical and more realistic. Since each person has a different definition for heroism, modern day heroism literature can be more varied. Ancient Greek writing is very often far-fetched, however. There are many similarities and differences between the two types of writing, but first I will run through the most significant differences. In Greek mythology, heroes were often religious figures, like demigods, while modern day writing focuses more on ordinary people. This could be because authors nowadays want the readers to be able to relate with the heroes in their stories. Greek writing had heroes that had the power to protect or destroy the people depending on prevailing circumstances. In contrast, modern day heroes are acknowledg...

My Brother by Elizabeth Hailey DeGasperis

          When I contemplate what is most important in my life, my mind is drawn to my 21-year-old brother, Tom. There are not enough words in the English language I could use to describe what he means to me. I cannot imagine the past fifteen years of my life without him. Allow me to start from the beginning.           Even when I was an infant, he never failed to take me out of my crib, strap me in my high chair, and cook scrambled eggs for us (at the tender age of six). He did this so my mother could catch up on sleep in the mornings and take care of me however he could. I only wish I could return the favour in some way. Though we have always been tight, we used to fight frequently as all siblings do. As immature children, we viewed every ordeal as monumental. The apocalypse would occur if either of us decided to give the other access to the TV remote or the pogo sticks for five minutes. However, we would always make-up in the end and...

Not Fate, Just a Coincidence - Sila Paniker

The idea of fate confuses me. I don't really understand how something will happen no matter what you do. It just seems very unlikely. I think we're constantly making choices that lead to occurrences. We make so many decisions a day that it seems impossible that fate can find a way around it all.  Awhile ago, I saw something called the Butterfly Effect, which doesn't exactly relate to fate but it makes sense to me. The idea is that a butterfly flapping its wings can cause a tornado on the other side of the world. Essentially, small changes can have large impacts. In my head, this connects with the thousands of tiny decisions we subconsciously make each day. There are people I've met or things that have happened and it feels like it was meant to be but they're just a bunch of coincidences that had the ability to change everything. Thinking about it, there are reasons that can explain everything. For example, I met one of my closest friends a few years ago a...
