Pore over the tune titles on rapper Ludacris' 2015 collection, Ludaversal, and a few topics rise that are apparently custom-made to cutting edge Acura. "Grass is Always Greener" could depict Acura's deserting of storied nameplates like Legend and Integra for alphanumerics; "Not Long" could allude to its conviction that a seat in the full-extravagance pantheon is practically around the bend; and "Brute Mode" could be a gesture to the up and coming NSX supercar. In actuality, the collection's…

As I stood in an unfamiliar building full of unfamiliar faces, I choose to do the only thing that made me comfortable—be alone. On the nerve-racking first day of school, I had no intentions of being social. I went straight to my vacant first hour, even though class did not start for twenty minutes. In fact, for almost the whole year I continuted to brake the norm of socializing and headed straight to first hour when the bus dropped me off. I discovered it was beneficial to organize myself before…

Of course it was the '80s and big hair was in, so Myra's long, curly, wild, Puerto Rican hair was da bomb at the time.

I used to wish I could just be perfect at one thing, but like the cliché says, the grass is always greener on the other side. Talking to fellow athletes or students that were perfect and known for being extraordinarily great at one thing, wished they were just average or above average at other things since their one really good…
