I have a variety of intersecting interests: #BlackSky, Law/Justice, Recruiting, Pop Culture, Beyoncé, Star Trek, Shakespeare, Musicals/Theater/Opera, Comics, Star Wars, Michael Jackson, etc. that I’m slowly, happily encountering. But it won’t truly be “home” until I find my Purple Prince Fam! 🙏🏾💜🎶🕊️☔️

His most soulful track, and one of his best vocal performances, with a middle 8 to die for: the comic timing on “…maybe not the ride” is👌. Might even be my favourite #Prince song full stop. A perfect ender too…

You'll enjoy the gentleness and relaxation today offers. You'll be more talkative than usual. This interlude will give you an opportunity to refresh yourself by spending some quality time with family. You have strong intuition. Listen to it, as it will advise you wisely.

Not a psychologist, teacher, or, for that matter university student.
But I think this is happening because the facade of normal daily life during all this is starting to get too heavy to hold up.

An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.
