I Watched 'Bohemian Rhapsody' And Now I Can't Stop Listening To Queen

As I write this article I'm currently listening to the "This is: Queen" playlist on Spotify.

When I first saw the commercial for "Bohemian Rhapsody" I immediately knew I needed to see this movie. I would not consider myself a huge Queen fan, I have, of course, heard the classic Bohemian Rhapsody, but mostly only heard their music when I was in the car with my dad listening to the '70s radio station. But regardless of my past Queen knowledge, I knew I needed to see this movie. Well due to my hectic and unforgiving college schedule, I was unable to get the full in-theater experience, but I was lucky enough to annoy my dad into renting it for me to watch. I can safely say that this was the better option because I fully cried during this movie (thank God my roommate was not home).

The movie prominently focuses on Freddie Mercury, played by Rami Malek, detailing his life while also detailing that of the band. It tells the story of his rise to fame, and the hardships along the way. Rami Malek absolutely kills it in his role of Freddy Mercury, and the world agrees too because he won the Academy Award for Best Actor for his portrayal.

The movie gives you a new appreciation for the struggle that every musical group has gone through throughout their time trying to make it in the world of music. It also brings you a new appreciation for the work and emotion that they put into all of their music. Queen was considered a transformative group in music during their time, and this movie can be considered transformative in the film industry as one of the best depictions of the struggles of groups as well as their individual members when it comes to becoming an icon in music.

Trust me when I say that you will not be sorry that you spent the money to rent this movie, I plan on jumping at the next opportunity to watch it.

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.
