Beyonce Is Back!

Beyonce Is Back!

By now, everyone is well aware of Beyoncé’s presence. Whether it’s music, social media, or even a performance, one can guarantee her name will be prominent in the media, and that’s exactly what happened leading up to Super Bowl 50.

It all started with her appearance in Coldplay’s music video for “Hymn for the Weekend” While many thought the song was fresh, there was some questioning of Beyoncé, as she was shown (matching the theme of the video) in Indian dress, which seemed to some like appropriation of Indian culture.


A week later, the day before the Super Bowl, Bey out of the blue dropped her first song in over a year with her video "Formation." A fan of dropping music unannounced, as with her 2013 self-titled album, Beyoncé has already amassed buzz with the vivid scenes in her video and lyrics showing her owning up to her blackness, dismissing rumors, and even drowning a police car in New Orleans.


All the hype is set to be accompanied by an album following the announcement of her Formation World Tour right after her Super Bowl performance with Coldplay.

Upon release, the internet went wild yet again, not only praising the singer on her performance, but with excitement of her tour announcement.

Please of the injustice of Beyoncé dropping the announcements were all said in fun as fans debated between paying bills or buying tickets. The artist was certainly missed, and after years of no new music, it'll be interesting to see what Beyoncé will present.

Love her or not, you can’t deny the talent that Beyoncé has or even the success she is able to show on a consistent basis.

From 20 Grammy awards to her relevance in breaking social media whenever she makes an announcement, her star power is one that ought to be respected for years to come.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
