Long live the Queen.

19 Adele Songs For (Nearly) Every Mood
USA Today

It is a truth universally acknowledged that Adele is Queen of contemporary music. If you happen to disagree, that’s cool, and I understand—but spend 2.5 hours with me and my CDs (yes, I still buy those things) and I will pour my blood, sweat, and tears into trying to convince you otherwise. You see, Adele reigns Queen for two simple reasons: 1) raw talent and 2) a down-to-earth charisma. Her voice is B-I-G, the kind that usually only comes around a few times in a generation and that is sorely lacking from much of popular music today. What makes us connect with this epic voice, though, is Adele’s persona of authenticity. She seems like the woman we want to be friends with, the woman who will listen to our troubles over a bottle of wine or maybe some whiskey, depending on the night. Her songs reflect this, speaking to moments in life most anyone can relate to. But since we may have miles of distance between us, I gift you the following: an index of Adele songs perfect for nearly any mood you might find yourself in.

1. Chasing Pavements

For when… you’re feeling discouraged.

2. Million Years Ago

For when… you’re feeling nostalgic.

3. Daydreamer

For when… you just need to daydream about impossible ideals for a little bit.

4. Hello

For when… you wish you could tell your younger self all that you’ve learned.

5. One and Only

For when… you’re ready to take a serious step in a relationship.

6. Turning Tables

For when… you realize you need to get out of a relationship.

7. Best for Last

For when… you know it’s not working out, but you’re still infatuated with it.

8. Set Fire To The Rain

For when… you cut ties with that toxic relationship.

9. River Lea

For when… you feel dangerous to others.

10. Water Under the Bridge

For when… you’re tired of playing games with someone.

11. Rolling in the Deep

For when… you feel betrayed.

12. Someone Like You

For when… you’re still attached but they’ve moved on.

13. When We Were Young

For when… you realize things have majorly changed—or are about to.

14. Can’t Let Go

For when… you’re still pining over that person you once were, or the one you were once with.

15. All I Ask

For when… you know you may have to let go soon.

16. Send My Love (To Your New Lover)

For when… you’re finally ready to let it all go.

17. Make You Feel My Love

For when… you want to communicate how strongly you love someone. [This is a Bob Dylan cover but, frankly, Adele owns this song. Period.]

18. Hometown Glory

For when… you are bursting with pride for the places you come from.

19. Rumour Has It

For when… you’re a badass and you’re not sorry for it.

8 Things I Realized After My First Semester In College

Actually, Kylie Jenner, 2018 is the year of realizing things.

Friends

The first semester of college is famous for being one of the most difficult transitions of one's young adult life. You're thrown into a completely new area where the majority of the people surrounding you are strangers in an academic environment that's much more challenging then what you've grown accustomed to for the past twelve years. On top of that, you probably share a room with another person (or even multiple people) on the lumpiest "mattress" you've ever slept on.

With this change comes a lot of questions: what do I want to major in? What am I passionate about? Is what I'm passionate about something I'm actually good at? Why does the bathroom smell like cranberry juice and vodka? What is that thing at the bottom of the shower drain?

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.
