My Reasons to Attend an HBCU (Historically Black College or University)

 The upcoming spring semester is upon us, and many are returning or going to college for the first time. In either way you wish to go, physically or virtually, choosing an HBCU has its perks. After attending snd graduating from an HBCU, these are the conclusions I have drawn about why someone should attend.

What even is an HBCU? 

 An HBCU stands for Historically Black College or University. A college that was created during a time of adversity and oppression for black people.



1. Diversity- Although, the creation of these schools were for Black people, other races and ethnicities can attend. Students come from all over the United States, and the world! I have encountered people from various locations, including Nigeria, Thailand, and Russia.

2. Acceptance- Personally, I believe African Americans are the most accepting people out there! At some colleges, it can feel like nobody cares or maybe you feel like an outcast, not at an HBCU. There's something for everyone.

3. Networking- People always will have your back and keep an ear out for you at an HBCU? Need a recommendation letter? Ask a professor, they KNOW you! Need an internship somebody might know somebody.

4. History- Every school has its own history but it is great that you can see your culture's history represented by people that look like you.

5. Homecoming- I couldn't finish this without including the band and homecoming! It's like a giant family reunion, you can go to anyone's tent and get great food, enjoy a good dance and watch a great game followed by the band! 

Do you already attend an HBCU or are thinking of going to one? Post in the comments!

Meeting the Mother

Normal POV  "WOW I can't believe we're looking at Nakquiyusha through a mirror!" Serenity exclaimed. "Boy I believe you.." Braxton said looking at Cold astonished, "What are you?" "That I don't know sir, but that is what I have come to find out." Cold said tapping on the mirror's center. He repeatedly tapped for two-three minutes before stopping and holding Serenity's hand and smiling at her. The mirror brings the image of the house closer to the trio. A woman's silhouette appeared before fading into color. Long, dark, soft looking hair framing her ovaled face. Her brown eyes glittering in happiness. She was clothed in an simple white dress that fell off her shoulders illuminating her natural tanned skin. His Mother. Mother Nature. "Cold,hello darling it has been such a long time since you have contacted me.Cold,who are these people?" Mother Nature said looking at us questioningly. "Hello mother, ...

Hoshii`s Pov:  After I finish dissolving myself I feel HIM searching for me. No, not the beast from before I mean The Great Demon Lord Karomaru Shizinzu Gigori, he rules most of the land in Hell and his assistant the little annoying toad like man Xiamindor Lukaisho SatularIo. This is the reason I dissolve myself every 6 years,I have learned that after 2 years of my death,the quick death that does not matter after 20 years, that the demon lord can sense a spirit that has been wondering because they have not had a proper burial, the thing that kept them here is still alive and the and comes to earth to retrieve them.The first time he visited me was 2 years after my death,he told me or more like Xiamindor told me about the reason why I was being chased around this house. He told me it was where I died and the place I was happy when I was alive, yet I only and still fell tortured  in this house.  Karomaru`s POV: "she is still here, Xiamindor." I tell my ass...

nice family moments

After Serenity woke up, they were still on the plane and it had gotten colder. She had put on her black jacket and asked her dad where they were. He replied "Baltic Sea." "What time is it?" "4:03" p.m. "We have been on the plane for 8 hours?" She asked in disbelief. She looked out the window and all that she saw was water, she didn't know what it was about the sea but she loved it. The plane finally landed in Helsinki after an hour.They caught a cab to Braxton's house. A few extra items of furniture were being moved in for Serenity like a desk,a chair, a bed, television, and a rug. One of the moving boys smiled, particularly a boy with blue eyes,dark hair, and pale skin. He went into her bedroom to put down a chair,she followed him. "Cold I didn't know you could get a job." "I was surprised I could also.Serenity, I am very sorry to hear about your mother, Heat will pay for this." "Oh no Cold,you...
