When life gave her lemons...

8 Thoughts I Had While Watching "Lemonade"
SingersRoom

She did it again. Beyonce Knowles created a masterpiece, and I mean that in every sense of the word. She is an artist. I prepared myself all week for the release of "Lemonade;" I danced every morning to “Partition” and picked lemonade as my drink of choice almost every day this week in the dining hall. I thought I was ready for "Lemonade," but boy, was I wrong.

In her flawless Beyonce fashion, Queen B herself was unapologetically transparent. Through poetry, dancing, singing, and acting, "Lemonade" is both brilliant and the truest form of art.

So here are eight thoughts I had while watching "Lemonade:"

1. I'll just pay for Tidal and delete it later.

Hate to break it to ya, Tidal, but yes I am definitely one of those people who subscribed to your services, watched the beauty of B unfold, and then proceeded to quickly cancel my subscription. I’m a broke college kid. Can you blame me?

2. Did she just say what I think she did?

This one crossed my mind more than once. As B unleashed her anger on hubby Jay-Z, she had what seemed like a billion one liners that left me with my jaw on the floor. I found myself screaming “Whaaaat” and looking at my roommate in disbelief of what had just come out of Beyonce’s mouth. But needless to say, yes, she just said what I think she did.

3. This is art!

Make no mistake: "Lemonade" is without a doubt, a piece of art. The time and effort put into this video or album or whatever you want to call it shows in the minute details that make this performative art so damn powerful. From her outfits and hair to the cinematography and sociopolitical messages, every second of this reminds me that they don’t call her Queen B for nothin’!

4. I wonder how Jay-Z feels right now.

As I’m watching this, I can’t help but wonder if this is Jay-Z’s first time watching this. How does he feel about being publicly shamed for his wrongdoings? Well, to be honest, who the hell cares? I stand in solidarity with my girl B and all the window smashing and husband bashing she wants to do!

5. Who the hell is Becky?

First of all, how dare you? But really though, you messed with the wrong woman, Becky. That’s all.

6. They are definitely over.

My heart broke into a million pieces as I watched. How could the epitome of couple goals be taking such a huge loss? Needless to say, I was convinced that this public display of a broken marriage must have meant that B and J are done for good.

7. Well, maybe it's not over.

Each song falls under a theme. As "forgiveness" flashed across the screen, I knew something was coming, but when images of Jay-Z and Beyonce together, along with the lyrics “If we’re gonna heal let it be glorious” playing in the background, I second-guessed everything from before. They survived this.

8. What's next?

Wow. It’s hard to put words to this incredible work of vulnerability. But how can this be topped? She has many years of her career ahead of her and this is the pinnacle thus far. What’s next for Queen B and how will she continue to reign over all?

Well that’s a wrap, a short and sweet look into my stream of consciousness as I watched "Lemonade unfold." All I need now is for someone to buy me tickets to her concert! (No, I’m not joking.)

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
