Area Coed Doesn't Know Song Lyrics And Suffers Awkward Car Ride With Friends
The News Wheel

Bloomington, Ill. - Returning from a cross-country road trip to southern California, Felicia Gooding, 21, was forced to sit quietly while her three other friends sang along the entire lyrics to “Bohemian Rhapsody” by Queen. The ordeal, which sources report occurred somewhere between Albuquerque, N.M., and Amarillo, Texas, left Gooding feeling both awkward and excluded.

“It was absolutely miserable,” said Gooding. “All I could do was sit and watch nonchalantly from the outside hoping that they weren’t judging me too harshly.”

Reporters claim that the moment the song came on the radio, the three other passengers, Allison Welch, 21, Jessica Booker, 19, and Ayana Martinez, 20, all shouted and immediately began singing at the top of their vocal capacities.

“I’ve heard the song before,” Gooding added, just before finishing her second bag of Ruffles since passing through Tulsa. “I just don’t know the entire thing. It’s not even in the Top 100. Sue me.”

This is not the first instance where Gooding has not known the lyrics to a popular tune. During a fraternity’s Christmas party last winter, she was one of the few who did not know “Let It Go” from the popular children's flick, "Frozen."

“That was a terrible experience as well,” said Gooding. “At every break in the song, people would yell at me, ‘How do you not know this?!,’ or, ‘Have you seriously never heard this before?!’"

Gooding states she is growing tired of receiving criticism from peers at social events where she does not know a certain song’s lyrics. She claims this has been happening as long as she can remember, citing middle school dances and one high school prom.

"I took a lot of heat for butchering Sean Kingston's 'Me Love' sometime during my junior prom," exclaimed Gooding. "My date absolutely humiliated me in front of all our friends. So rude."

Gooding left us with this final quote.“Every time something like this happens, I’m always ridiculed as if I just kicked a dog. I don't think they understand how hard it is to watch from the side as everyone else is having a blast. I guess I’ll just have to find time in my schedule to learn songs that everyone knows.”

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.
