In This Article:

The first song I ever heard by NF was Wait but I didn't fall in love with his music until I heard Mansion which seemed to speak to me on another level. Over the past few weeks, I have been listening to all of his music on repeat because I love how raw he is when he raps. He speaks of his experiences in life and that's what makes him so relatable. His raps are filled with allusions to his past and innuendos calling out other artists. He may not rhyme in every rap but when he does, his words are magical. Regardless, his voice is beautiful and what he raps speaks volumes.

These are some of the lyrics that I find powerful:

1. “And the problem and the reason you could never move forward in life/ Is because you were never awake” – Wake Up

2. “If this was all for money, I’d have quit years ago” – Hands Up

3. “I’d rather spend a minute with love in my life/ Than go a million years without knowing what it’s like” – Thing Called Love

4. “Love is like a privilege, a lot of us abuse it” – Thing Called Love

5. “The world wants to tell us who we are and who we ain’t/ But the person that I am is somethin’ you can never change” – Just Being Me

6. “The moment you blink is the moment you lost” – Intro

7. "See, my problem is I don't fix things, I just try to repaint/ Cover ‘em up, like it never happened" – Mansion

8. “’Cause I don’t want you to have the opportunity to hurt me/ And I’ll be the only person I can blame when you desert me” – Mansion

9. “Life is something you don’t wanna play with” – Face It

10. “I’m my own worst critic” – Motivated

11. “I’m scared to live but I’m scared to die” – Paralyzed

12. “I’m tired of all the talkin’ to be honest I would rather see a difference” – I Just Wanna Know

13. “I don’t need a picture of my mom, I need the real thing” – How Could You Leave Us

14. “Apologies don’t mean a thing if you don’t ever fix it” – Breathe

15. “Sometimes the closest people to you make you feel protected/ But those are the same people that hurt you most and leave you guessing” – Breathe

16. “In 10 minutes, I still couldn’t explain what’s inside my brain, don’t mess with it” – Real

17. “Everybody wants change/ Don’t nobody wanna change though” – Oh Lord

18. “You see the same God that you saying might not even exist/ Becomes real to us, but only when we dying in bed” – Oh Lord

19. “The older you get, the more family is everything” – I Can Feel It

20. “I’m doing me, I don’t live for you” – Gridin’

21. “I heard that pictures don’t change/ Just the people inside of ‘em do” – Lost in The Moment

22. “They told us that time flies, didn’t know what it means/ Now I feel like we’re just running around tryna/ Catch it and hoping to cut up its wings” – Lost in The Moment

23. “’Cause I thought you had me in prison this whole time, but I’m the one holding the keys” – Intro III

24. “If ima die, ima die givin’ everything that I have” – Outcast

25. “It’s like we throw away the things in life that really matter/ Just so that we can make it to the top, and wonder what we’re even climbing after” – 10 Feet Down

26. “I ask you a question, I want answers, not the run-around” – Green Lights

27. “Can’t nobody think for me, I got my own thoughts” – Dreams

28. “Sometimes you don’t know what you had until it falls apart” – Dreams

29. “Doubt put his hands around my throat, so I cut ‘em off” – Destiny

30. “Pain will always find its way to the surface/ No matter how deep you bury him” – My Life

31. “Life’s about taking chances, making moves/ Not about what you did, it’s what you do” – My Life

32. "Surround yourself with people that challenge how you think/ Not people that nod their head and act like they agree" - Remember This

33. "The cure to pain isn't something you buy at liquor stores" - Remember This

34. "We waste a lot of time crying over wasted time" - Remember This

35. "Grab your own glass and fill it, don't let your fear destroy you" - Remember This

36. "I am way more than people might think when they look on the surface " - No Name

If you haven't listened to NF before, I highly suggest it. He's a psychologist's wet dream and I wish I could see inside of his head.

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.

University of Dayton

boy in adult clothes

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.

There are a lot of foods in this world, but there is only one dish that stands above the rest: Pizza. If you're close to me or at least know who I am, then you know that I'm totally obsessed with pizza. It's one of my favorite things to eat and I will NEVER turn down a slice, even if it doesn't have my favorite toppings. There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not thinking about pizza. I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.

Why I Love Being Single (And You Should, Too)

Dedicated to February 14

1. You don't have to feel guilty about flirting with customers for tips (or just for shits and giggles).

2. You can be obnoxiously flirtatious with anyone you want. You are free to be that girl that flirts with everybody and makes 'em all smile (it's especially fun when the guy is as cute as Collin Jost). No shame.

3. Making random men nervous with your superior beauty and intense eye contact just for the hell of it is really amusing and empowering.

4. No one gives two poops if ya legs are hairy (your man shouldn't either but *Kermit the Frog meme* That's none of my business)

5. The toilet seat will remain down.

6. There's more money to spend on yourself.

7. There's always this secret butterfly in your tummy that marvels at the possibility that when you go out this weekend you're gonna meet someone super handsome/wonderful/prince-like and have this moment of dazzling dalliance.

8. Nothing is that serious...you can take it all with a grain of salt...you don't owe anybody anything.

9. You can dance with anyone and everyone...or no one (Hello frat boi w/ glasses, I see you).

10. You don't have to fluff anyone's ego but your own.

11. Free drinks and dinners from single guys (It's not taking advantage if they're offering; a girl's gotta eat).

12. You have more time to learn how to love and improve yourself rather than constantly pouring your energy into another person.

13. You don't have to sacrifice your cheesy Jen Aniston rom-coms and Gilmore Girls for his Fast and Furious/other dumb action movie featuring blonde that is only in the movie to supply a relationship to the male lead and to make him look more masculine/empowered in juxtaposition (In other words, you don't have to deal with a guy being a crabby Patty while you watch your cute movies).

14. You can daydream about what your future husband may be doing right now (and not get stressed/guilty out because you're not picturing your current boyfriend that's crazy about you as your future husband).

15. There is more time to be spent with your girlfriends.

Water signs are are emotional, intuitive, and mysterious. Fire signs tend to be passionate, creative, and adventurous. Earth signs are conservative, realistic, and loyal.
