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.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
