Who Is this "Becky with the Good Hair?"

Yas, yas, yas the wait is over! We do not have to listen to "Formation" on repeat anymore because Beyoncé dropped her visual album. Boy, oh, boy does she spill all the tea! This album is raw and one of the topics that Bey openly talks about her marriage to her husband, Jay Z. Most of the songs are about Jay Z cheating on Beyoncé.

Songs like "Dont Hurt Yourself" where she sings the line "You know I give you life"/ " If you try this sh*t again"/ "You gon lose your wife" (may I add in the music video she even throws her wedding ring!) In "Hold Up" Queen B sings "What a wicked way to treat the girl that loves you"/ "Hold up they don't love you like I love you".

The track "Sorry" caught everybody's attention! Where in the last lines Bey sings "He only wants me when I'm not there"/ " He better call Becky with the good hair". The line "Becky with the good hair" got everybody wondering who is this person that Beyoncé is shading?

The BeyHive did some digging, and they were quick to point their fingers at fashion designer Rachel Roy (commonly confused for Rachael Ray.) This name might sound familiar to some, this is the same woman that was brought up when that elevator video surfaced of Bey's sister, Solange, trying to slap Jay Z. Some speculate that Beyoncé was mad at how close Jay Z and Rachel Roy were getting at the Met Ball. So Solange tried to take matters into her own hands, and smacked some sense back into Jay Z. People did some more hardcore digging on Ms. Roy, and found a picture that was posted on her Instagram with the caption: "Good hair don’t care, but we will take good lighting, for selfies, or self truths, always. ‘Live in the light #nodramaqueens." That post really got Beyoncé fans going, and convinced many that she may be the person that Beyoncé is singing about on the track.


Rita Ora is also thought to be this "Becky with the good hair". You guys probably remember Ms.Ora from her one hit song "How We Do (Party)" or her as a feature on Iggy Azalea's track "Black Widow". An extreme throwback is when she dated Rob Kardashian, allegedly she cheated on him, but that's another story folks. What is her link to Jay Z you ask? Well, in 2008 Rita was signed to Jay's label Roc Nation. Around early 2014 rumors started swirling around Rita Ora and Jay Z having a secret relationship. This does not help that after "Lemonade" dropped Rita posted a picture of herself on Snapchat wearing a lemon bra with a necklace with the letter "J" on it!

Social media has their eyes on these two women as this "Becky" character. It is a sad situation if you think about it. Beyoncé pouring out her heart on this album. Jay Z better get his act together because he might really lose the best thing he ever had.

Who knows maybe we are going a little overboard with this whole Rachel Roy and Rita Ora thing. It could be somebody that is not even in the public eye, maybe Beyoncé just thought the lyric sounded cool, and Jay isn't cheating. Or "Becky with the good hair" is Taylor Swift!

Coincidence? I think not

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
