What Is Beyoncé's 'Lemonade'?
HBO

This past week The BeyHive, Beyoncé’s official fan club, has been going crazy over the pop icon’s latest announcement. Last weekend, Beyoncé posted a preview video on her Instagram of “Lemonade”, her latest video. “Lemonade” premiered April 23 at 9 p.m. on HBO. Before the premiere fans were speculating what the video was going to be about. Several ideas such as another documentary, a new music video or just her newest album were suggested. Beyoncé first released a 21-second preview video, followed by a longer trailer. Immediately after the videos were posted fans were questioning what Queen Bey was up to. Entertainment Weekly had source say that “Lemonade” was actually, “a lengthy concept video.” Beyoncé has been referring to her secret video, “Lemonade”, as a “World Premiere Event.”

So what was "Lemonade"?

“Lemonade” was everything The BeyHive and everyone else had hoped for: a visual album. The hour-long World Premiere Event has already been called a masterpiece by several fans and featured 12 new songs and several other surprises. “Lemonade” is said to “trace the story of infidelity and reconciliation”. After the premiere several fans were tweeting about “Lemonade” being a message to Jay-Z. The World Premiere Event started with songs that seemed like a message toward all men, or maybe just Jay-Z in this case. Beyoncé has talked about issues with her father in the past so the songs could have been directed toward him; but it is more likely that the singer is directing her music at the imperfections faced in marriage.

"Lemonade" was not all about Queen Beyoncé, she included several guest stars in the visual album. Serena Williams, Zendaya, Jay-Z and daughter Blue Ivy were all spotted throughout the premiere. Multiple artists such as Jack White, The Weekend and Kendrick Lamar were all included in the making of "Lemonade".

Though "Lemonade" followed the glamorous life that Beyoncé has become accustomed too, it also traced her love for New Orleans. It is clear that she has found inspiration in the southern Louisiana town. Several parts of "Lemonade" were filmed in New Orleans and featured big southern homes as well as the beautiful landscapes.

Where can you find "Lemonade"?

"Lemonade" was rumored to only be shown for free on HBO the night it premiered. However, HBO will be showing it again Sunday, April 24 at 8:00 p.m EST for free. For those that do not own televisions, it will also be streaming on HBO's website. As for after the weekend of the World Premiere Event, we aren't sure where it will be. The BeyHive will be the best way to stay informed of any Beyoncé updates, including her tour starting Wednesday, April 27 in Miami.

So when life hands you lemons... Be flawless and make lemonade.

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.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

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.
