Lil Uzi Vert Secures Billboard's Number One Album Award
Billboard

On August 25th, 2017, Lil Uzi Vert released his debut album entitled "Luv Is Rage 2". The upcoming rapper/rockstar from Philadelphia has been at the top of his game ever since his smash-hit singles "Bad and Boujee" and "XO TOUR Llif3" broke mainstream barriers.

Lil Uzi Vert's eccentric personality and authentically animated style are what set him apart from other artists in his class, helping his first professional project do huge numbers on global charts. By September 16th, 2017, "Luv Is Rage 2" reached the Number One spot on Billboard's Top 200 albums.

For the 23-year-old rapper, this feat was definitely his biggest accomplishment, as he was quoted saying, "It means everything. I think I'm the only person, anyway, that exists, so I'm already No. 1!'" when asked how he felt about his sales. The album has been on the charts for 16 weeks up until this day, proving Uzi is not just the typical one-hit wonder.

"Luv Is Rage 2" brought in approximately 150.6 million on-demand audio streams of tracks on the album, making Uzi's project's sales the highest debut numbers for an album since Kendrick Lamar's "DAMN". With the year coming to an end, fans are expecting Uzi to drop even more groundbreaking music in 2018, with the hopes that his momentum and drive don't burn out.

It will be exciting to see what Uzi will bring to the table in 2018, and even more exciting to see how long it will take until he is universally acknowledged as one of the greatest artists of this generation.

If you haven't already checked it out, here is the official "Luv Is Rage 2" album by Lil Uzi Vert on Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/liluzivert/sets/luv-is-rage...

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf: Your Spirit Animal

Who wouldn't wanna be Queen B?

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
