JoJo's Amazing Comeback

JoJo's Amazing Comeback
DayMZ

JoJo's new hit single leading up to the release of her album in October dropped on July 28 and it is amazing.

She collaborated with Wiz Khalifa on "F**k Apologies" and it has blown up on Twitter. I would say again, but last time she blew up, it was on MySpace. For those of you who don't remember, JoJo is not a new artist. To put it in perspective for you, her first hit single "Too Little Too Late" was released 10 years ago. When I think of JoJo's early music I instantly think of "Leave (Get Out)" and it reminds me of how amazing she has always been as an artist.

A few years later, after the release of two more albums, she went through a huge legal battle with her record label and has only recently been able to start releasing music again. If you missed it and thought her collab with Wiz on "F**k Apologies" was her first step back into the music world- she actually released a heartfelt tringle (three songs) last fall and proceeded to keep the momentum going by announcing her IAMJOJO tour.

I was lucky enough to be at the last North American tour date in New Orleans (ON JOJO'S BIRTHDAY) where she played her earlier hits along with her tringle and I can tell you, she is BACK. Her soulful voice and raw lyrics pair together perfectly and are relatable to so many.

I feel like I have grown up with JoJo. From middle school to mid-twenties, I have always had a connection to her songs and her general "F**k Apologies" attitude (see "Leave", "Too Little Too Late", etc). While "F**k Apologies" is likely to be the newest female empowerment mantra (for me at least), I can't wait to see what her new record in October is going to be like.

If you want to get caught up- here is a sampling of my favorite JoJo videos. Peep the early 2000s outfits in Leave and Baby It's You!

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
