Beyoncé Gets Everyone In Formation

Well, Beyoncé has done it again. Just when you thought you were to go about your weekly routine with nothing new, she drops an instant hit and iconic music video. Her new song, Formationdropped the day before her expected-to-be ultra fierce Super Bowl Halftime Show performance.Not to mention that it was all a complete surprise. No teasers, no leaks, no subtle hints on social media. For an artist as widely known and loved as Queen Bey, she deserves an applause for keeping her personal life private and keeping her hits completely locked up until she says so. As the lyrics state, "I slay, all day." And she is absolutely right.

Of course, I am a biased, dedicated fan and I know not everyone will enjoy the song and video. However, you cannot deny that everything she puts out there has an artistic reason behind it, and was perfected until she felt it was ready to be public with her name on it. Her video is already becoming known as politically-charged, since it is featured in New Orleans with Beyoncé on top of a police car in flooded streets, a man holding a newspaper with Martin Luther King Jr.'s picture on it and a young, hooded boy dancing in front of a line of SWAT officers with a graffitied wall reading, "Stop shooting us."

This video appears to be slightly more aggressive than anything else Beyoncé has recently done, from flipping off the camera and more explicit lyrics than usual. Also, it seems as though the song is meant to serve as a statement revolving around racial tension and controversy in the United States. The video also features her lovely daughter, Blue Ivy Carter, looking fierce as ever, proudly rocking a bold, beautiful afro.

"I like my baby hair, with baby hair and afros. I like my negro nose with Jackson 5 nostrils."

And the now-iconic lyrics being celebrated all over Twitter, "When he f**k me good I take his ass to Red Lobster, 'cause I slay."


So if you needed anything to be excited about this week, here you go. Start your Monday off with this new anthem and you'll feel like a queen, too. Now get in formation and slay.

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.
