XXL

It's very difficult to differentiate Taylor Bennett from his older brother, Chance The Rapper. They share the same profession, their physical resemblence is spot-on, and the two vocally sound more or less the same. However the 21-year-old rapper from Chicago is steadily making a name for himself.

Back in the middle part of December in 2015, Taylor Bennet released his album, Broad Shoulders, which was just as good, if not, better than most of the albums that were released that year, especially in hip hop.

Since releasing his self-released, free album Broad Shoulders in late 2015, Bennett has had himself a quiet, but promising year in 2016. With the release of two new singles, "Straight from the Bottom" and "New York Nights" in 2016, Bennett promised fans a new album would be set to be released sometime in February, 2017. However, Bennett did not wait until February to share some news and surprised his followers with a special message a few weeks ago.

The Chicago native, recently turned 21 and celebrated his special day by coming out to the world as bisexual on January 19th. To help celebrate his coming out party and his birthday, Bennett released a short-film titled, Broad Shoulders, which is inspired by his 2015 album.

Below you can watch Taylor Bennett's short film, Broad Shoulders and/or listen to one of my favorite songs by him:

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

To The Girl Who Falls Too Fast, Never Be Ashamed Of How Hard You Love

Love hard, every day, and never be ashamed.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.

Growing up I have always wanted to own a horse. My grandparents own a well known equestrian facility in Georgia, so I have been riding since I was born. A bond between a person and their horse is a bond so strong that it cannot be broken. Everywhere I went I wanted to be around horses, even forcing my family to go on trail rides during vacations. Horses have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember has taught me great responsibility, as well as 14 things that all equestrians can relate to.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.
