Melissa Poux-Williams: Let’s get started. So, how are you?! Are you excited to be featured in Journey Magazine?! That’s epic for you career, you know what I mean?!

Rich: I’m good. Yea, I’m excited to do this.

M: So you know I have to ask you, when did you get started in rapping? What inspired you to be a rapper?

R: Uh, I wouldn’t say I am a rapper. I do like-I am an artist. I do both. What really made me start off doing music was the song called nothing. Which is on my sound cloud.

M: I seen that (laughs)

R: (laughs) That’s really crazy. The song got over 1,000 plays and people were like you can sing!! So it really started off my career.

M: So you classified yourself as an artist, not a rapper. You do a little bit of everything.

R: Yes, an artist, but I’m more on the R&B side.

M: Okay that’s cool. So your new single Benz is coming out. Can you tell us more about that?

R: Benz is the number 1 fun song coming out in Tally. We just did a video with 618 Films. He did a couple things with Maybach Music.

M: Oh yea I know him. I know exactly who you’re talking about. That’s great!

R: Yea, we are going to drop the video in two weeks and I just did something with, uh 90.5.

M: Yea I heard that.

R: Yea, I did a lot of things with them. So we just really moving on that single Benz. So yea it will on Spotify and iTunes.

M: When is that looking to drop?

R: Probably, next Friday, real soon.

M: Oh okay. Alright, along with the single will there be any visuals? Any music videos coming to accompany it?

R: Yea the video should be dropping right after the iTunes released on Spotify and Google Play. So we’ll be doing that.

M: Okay, that’s really good! That’s great! OK, I have another question for you. What is a week in RichMusicz look like? Like a day in the life of RichMusicz, what is yours to do list? From the morning to the night what gets your creative flow going?

R: Um, really, my day in RichMusicz world is basically waking up in the morning praying, then go to school- I’m still in high school. I’m 17 youngin’ doing this. It’s kind of crazy because my life is different. At my age, no one has really been on the radio or traveled. I’ve done shows in Atlanta and Bainbridge Georgia. That life is just crazy. Also in Rich’s world; things I like to do is just like to listen to my producer, Freeky Neek or Camp Honesty Productions. I like being around different producers and just talk. That’s really it. So its school and studio (laughs)

M: School and the studio, all day long, right?!

R: Right, all day along

M: Okay. Your manager did tell me you gained success quickly, in a year. How was performing in Georgia, in Atlanta? Was the crowd really responsive to you?

R: It was crazy cause um, my first Atlanta trip show was basically about 500, 600 people in the building. It was a sold out show. I started off singing. Which threw everybody off because it was mostly rappers there. So when I first started singing and doing my thing, they were like “Oh wow this kid is good he can sing!” Then I played Benz out there and they loved the song.

M: Swerve, Swerve (laughs) I heard it. I was listening to it. I was bumping it. Its good. I enjoyed it. I really did enjoy it. I was also scoping out on your Instagram that you have RichMusicz T-Shirts. Is there a link or somewhere people can purchase your T-shirts?

R: Yes, you can get it at PayPal.com/RichMusicz. You can get it like that. Talking about the Rich T-shirts, October is breast cancer awareness month, we are coming out with a pink limited edition Rich T-shirt. We are also going to give back to the community with the proceeds and give some to breast cancer charities.

M: Wow, that’s great. That’s really great. I need to go purchase a shirt! For everyone that wants to follow you and find out more about you; can you tell us what your social media handles are?

R: Uh. Instagram @RichMusicz, YouTube: RichMusicz

M: Everything’s RichMusicz. Nice and Simple

R: Yea (laughs) You can also google search me, I’m like one of the first things to pop up.

M: You have really good music and you I can see on your sound cloud that you have a good playlist of songs. Not just 3 or 4. You’ve been working.

R: I actually released one project. It was actually my first run trial project called “Things I didn’t know before”. How I got that name was because it was just somethings in music I just didn’t know before.

M: That was your EP right?

R: yea, yea that was the EP.

M: I saw the EP and thought he’s legit! (laughs) I’m really happy to see someone so young, passionate and successful doing their thing.

In case you're unaware, "resting bitch face" is the term used to describe when a person's natural, expressionless face makes it look like they are mad at the world. Whether they are walking down the street or simply spacing out thinking about what to eat for dinner, it's very easy for others to assume that this person is either upset or mad at them. Because of this, those of us with Resting Bitch Face (RBF), and especially us women, have all experienced many of the same situations and conversations, including:

We've all had a crush before. Whether it leads to something or nothing, the process has all been the same. The awkward feelings, the stalking, and the stress of trying to keep this huge secret. The feeling of becoming a total spazz is something that cannot be avoided, and the most spazzy family that can relate to this feeling is the Belcher's.

At the tender age of 18, we are bestowed with the title of “adult.” For 17 years, we live under the rules and guidelines of our parents, school, and government, and to stray from any of those rules or guidelines marks us as a rebel. At 18, though, we must choose which college we want to go to or what career we want. We are allowed and encouraged to vote. We can buy lottery tickets and cigarettes. We can drop out of school, leave our household, and do other "adult" things. At 18, we start down a path of thinking for ourselves, when for the entirety of our lives other institutions have been mandated to think and do for us.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

University of Kentucky

pointsincase.com

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

The struggles of having an RBF are all too real

1. People asking if you're mad at them.

2. Those people who hand out flyers don't always try to stop you.

3. Creepy guys telling you to smile.

4. "I thought you were a bitch when I first met you."

5. People telling you you'd be "so much prettier if you smiled."

6. Doing your makeup and looking great, which somehow intensifies the bitch face.

7. Regularly explaining "it's just my face."

We all go through certain stages when we have a crush, Tina just explains it better.

That moment that someone you never looked twice at suddenly makes you do a double take out of no where.

But you can't have a crush, that's outrageous. It's all in your head.

Because you don't have a crush, there's no reason to tell anyone about anything. Right?

But then they do something irresistible and you start to lose it.

Now accepting the fact you have a crush, you have to keep it under control.

Then there's the part where you tell your friends who will claim they called it.

They'll be excited and cheer you on. That's until they realize that your crush is all you'll be talking about.

Your obsession has become so bad, that your Facebook stalking is getting out of control.

But your friends will try and help move things along any way they can. That doesn't mean it will be any helpful though.

As time goes on, you start having fantasies about the two of you and it's starting to scare you a little.

You can't focus on anything because all your attention is on them and everything they do.

Anybody who comes near your crush is now an enemy, and you are willing to fight for your crush.

When you see them, you act like an idiot. Trying to hide your feelings may not be as discrete as you think.

Keeping your feelings inside will start to be harder and harder until you can't keep it inside anymore.

Who knows, maybe it will work out? Take a chance.

Everybody hurts sometimes.

May the odds be ever in your favor.

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

1. You feel like an elder.

2. You may feel lonely.

3. Senioritis is more real than ever.

4. You may feel a little down sometimes.

5. Fear of missing out won't be as real.

6. You are a college pro.

7. You'll have more free time.

8. You're happy you're still in school.

9. You feel like a guru.

10. You continue to grow.
