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.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
