An Old Movie With A Good Song

Let's set the scene.

An Old Movie With A Good Song
Although I ain't good enough..

A few days ago I started to tend to cleaning and I started humming. It was a different type of hum. I was humming notes to a song I didn't know. It was like I unconsciously tapped into my childhood and remembered a song. It wasn't like a Bob the builder song or Aladdin singing to my soul. No. It was something deeper than that, like Beyonce singing to my soul. I remembered it was before she got plagued by the illuminati, it was a simpler time and had a tint of church to it. Finally I remembered: It was from the movie Fighting Temptations. Alright let's set the scene.

In this mess of beautiful harmony, you have the sweet version of Beyonce with big names like Cuba Gooding Jr, Lou Myers, Angie Stone and Mike Epps (before his Netflix Special).

The story is about a gospel choir going to a national competition. Before going to the competition, they must build a choir. Dysfunctional people join together to form dysfunctional groups and the hilariousity that exhibits itself from that. For example, in the choir, some people are wearing robes, and others aren't wearing robes. I'll leave it up to you to figure out why. Some way somehow, they actually pull off the competition and sing well. A few things to note before listening:

1. The redneck dude go HAM on the organ.

2. There are three inmates in the choir, they wear bright orange jumpsuits.

3. The biggest, scariest inmate is a countertenor.

4. Tambourine player is killin the game!

Ah, yes. That was the tune in my head. I thought someone needed the message in this movie. Besides, It's nice to remember 2003 Beyonce before Formation happened.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

You can't say that no one told you life was gonna be this way.

friends

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions. The show that gave generations unrealistic expectations about love (or should I say lobsters?) and New York City apartments had a charming cast of characters that everyone could relate to at some point or another. Here are 17 times Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel accurately described life.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.

1. When your advisor tells you that you should declare a major soon.

2. Seeing the lost and confused freshmen and remembering that was you a short year ago, and now being grateful you know the ins and outs of the campus.

3. Going to the involvement fair to sign up for more clubs knowing that you are already too involved.

4. When you actually do the reading required for the first class.

5. Seeing your friends for the first time since last semester.

6. When you're already drowning in homework during syllabus week.

7. Realizing you don't have the same excitement for classes as you did as a freshman.

8. Going home and seeing people from high school gets weirder the older you get.
