Well this happens when you have a routine: School, Work, Sleep, Bathe, Eat. Cause that's how its been for me for the past 3 months. My life has been overwhelmed by my final year at university...it all makes sense now why people usually drop out in their final year.
Some who don't know how it is will stay on the outside and criticize and speculate but believe me when I say..university is NO JOKE. Don't get me wrong I love the learning process especially when you are blessed with enthusiastic lecturers and tutors who make you want to go to class and listen and come home and continue research (yeah right!) lol but you get what I'm saying.
University calls for you to be self motivated, self employed and self sufficient!!! Key word in that equation is SELF. Education is essential and that's my motivation in this struggle cause NO way I come this far to drop out...I would kick myself in the ass if I did....
So I have approximately less than a month left at uni and I am steadily counting the days cause I cannot wait to be over!!! Learning is fun but its also fun to have no work to come home to, no early ass lectures to wake up for or no late night tutorials that leave you stranded waiting on the 11 pm bus!!! :)
So wish me luck and pray I make it to the end in one piece with the strands of sanity I have left...and to my fellow colleagues who know my struggle cause they have a similar one....more power to you my brothers & sisters. xoxo
Now onto the fun stuff- Things that have kept me sane through the insanity:
Movie to watch: Why Did I Get Married Too?
Tyler Perry's genius continues in this sequel my friends, believe me when I tell you that it is worth every cent :) ( don't mind I watched it online at 3 am...hey no cinemas are open at that time). The plot is full of twists and turns and it has a great cliff hanger ending making way for a part 3 (told you he is a genius). Jill Scott and Janet Jackson must be commended, being superstar musicians they have easily translated this talent onscreen to bring a different side to acting and showing their versatility as artistes! Much love to the other actors especially my FAV Malik Yoba (call me!!!) lol. Don't let the movie miss you, its a great conversation piece.
Songs to listen to: Usher ft. Nicki Minaj - Lil Freak
Usually I wouldn't really be a fan of a song promoting the shit they promoting in this song but something about this song is just drawing me in!!! The music video is really straight up...which I love cause it has a story line..the TRUE essence of music videos (take a hint). Usher has really made a comeback from his hiatus and divorce with the new album "Raymond V. Raymond". If you are interested in a preview you can find it on Bet's website in the new music section.
Kelis- Acapella
Now I have been a fan of Kelis from the days of I hate you so much right now!!! Yeah she has real talent but as with all greats she has a few screws loose but hey its worth it. Her new song "Acapella" is the BOMB, when I tell you she has managed to make a club hit/ motivational song all in one believe me. The message is clear she is speaking about her new born son and its a reflection on her marriage to Nas as well. The music video is characteristic of Kelis... don't mind people are comparing her to Lady Gaga which is absurd. When Kelis was rocking blonde and pink hair where was Gaga???? C'mon people Kelis was our own Black crazy girl but we never accepted her creativity. The video is the bizness
You can peep both below :)
