Reaction To Beyonce's Lemonade

Beyonce just recently dropped her new visual album titled Lemonade and the world is in such a frenzy. She openly reveals that her husband, rapper Jay-Z, cheated on her. Yes, y'all. Queen Bee herself got cheated on. Sounds so.. unbelievable huh? Who in their right mind would cheat on Beyonce?!

At first, I couldn't believe that Jay cheated on Beyonce, but after awhile I became not so surprised. We tend to think of celebrities as different people but in reality, they are just like everybody else. She sings about how she was lied to and I know we have all been there at least once in our lives. She sings to tell us how Jay-Z was coming home late at night and she just heard excuse after excuse. It's so hurtful to see because as women, this is what we go through frequently by the men we tend to love so much.

When watching the album, Beyonce takes us on a visceral experience as she displays the many emotions she's felt because of heartbreak. It's an hour long but definitely worth to watch. She goes from scorn, to happy, to forgiving all within one hour. It's truly a piece of art.

Not only did she take us on her emotional stages, but she is also bringing awareness of how it is to be a black woman in today's society. One of Malcolm X's famous quotes is about the black woman, and she had it played during the beginning of "Don't Hurt Yourself." "The most disrespected person in America is the black woman. The most unprotected person in America is the black woman. The most neglected person in America is the black woman." She gracefully portrays black culture as a whole so unapologetically. And that is what we call black girl magic.

Lemonade is a cry for resilience, love and hope. I am happy that Beyonce was able to capture so much heartfelt emotion about her marriage and even political issues. I am definitely here for this.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
