Sorry for the Wait.

I am so disappointed in myself.

I was suppose to write a new blog post every week. That failed.

I was suppose to apply for jobs in the sector I would like to have a future career in. That also failed, miserably. 

I just haven't been onit recently. But it's summer soon and I'll be back living at home until my second year of Uni starts again which only means one thing... I'll have no life! That way I won't have any excuse BUT to update my blog regularly. 

So, since my last 'life' blog update I have almost finished my first year of University. I cannot believe how fast it has gone. I remember before I started everyone told me that it was going to go fast. But, I don't even feel like I have moved out of my house yet. 

(Maybe that's because I've been home atlas twice nearly every month...) 

I am so excited for summer back home. Last summer was great, but this year I'm 18, I guess I'm only that bit more excited because I'm legally allowed to drink alcohol. Wow, reading that back sounds really sad. There is more to my life than just alcohol. Promise. 

ANYWHO. 

I feel so much more better now I'm in the process of updating my blog. As well as my Mum constantly telling me I have learnt over the past 4 weeks that I am very lazy - in every way you can think of. It's fine, like I said I will start updating regularly. It's all good. 

Happy Easter!

Sorry 4 The Wait 2 x Lil' Wayne

20th January 2015. Lil' Wayne made mixtape history. Again.

Wayne released the first Sorry 4 The Wait in 2011. The mixtape title was an apology from Lil’ Wayne for the fans for releasing his album late. It’s the same situation this time round, however Wayne’s record label Cash Money aren’t allowing him to release Tha Carter 5 which is why he produced and released Sorry 4 The Wait 2!

The track list for the mixtape was given to the fans before the tape was available to download.

I love the fact that Lil’ Wayne uses beats from very well known songs and makes them 10x better than the original song. He used the beat from ‘Coco’, ‘TrapHouse’, ‘No Type’, ‘Drunk in Love’, ‘Hot Nigga’ and a few more. All of which are well known with catchy hooks and Wayne still murders all the beats with his bars.

This mixtape got a lot of positive feedback on twitter. I didn’t see any negative feedback. I was one of the fan girls on twitter declaring how much I love him and how amazing his mixtape is – obviously. No shame.

I’ve noticed that on this mixtape Tune spits more about “where I’m [he’s] at” rather than spit about females. But, don’t get me wrong; he does spit about girls, a lot. As the majority of people know that Wayne and his ‘Father figure’ Birdman are having problems right now. Wayne took it to twitter to express his anger explaining to his 20+ million followers that he and his creativity are “prisoners”. When I first seen the tweets I thought he’d been hacked because he spelt simple words correctly and he never does that.

My favourite song from Sorry 4 The Wait 2 is Try Me featuring Mack Maine. I love the word play he has with the name of songs from other songs. “Tunechi what’s your fuckin’ problem? I got fuckin’ problems. Bad bitch on top of me, she started from the bottom.” Both songs that he referenced are Drake songs. I love it when he gets personal.

I will be blogging more. Promise.

Song Review: All About That Bass x Meghan Trainor

Since I've been going out at night a lot over the past month with it being freshers week or just an excuse to go out and drink alcohol, I've heard this song over 100 times. Personally, I am not into commercial music, I have a personal problem with listening to music that other people can't stop listening to. I've noticed when I go to clubs they try to make everyone there like the music, so they play catchy, corny, commercial music. Annoying.

So, an over look at this song... It's about girls, about how being a bigger dress size than a size 8 is acceptable and how Meghan's Mother supposedly told her that guys like bigger bums because they like to hold something at night - always the best kind of motivation.

Even though I hate listening to this song let alone blogging about it, I have recently heard that the lyrics have conjured up some sort of controversy. Of course it would, people do anything for a few status likes nowadays. I heard of a Facebook status from a girl on my friends Facebook, about how in the song Meghan refers to slimmer girls as "skinny b*tches" this seemed to make them mad, "it's not my [their] fault I'm naturally a size 6." I love how people feel the need to publicise that information about themselves, instead of just ranting how the lyrics is offensive to all girls who are a smaller dress size than a size 10.

I think that if this song has been taken personally by any girls who are a smaller dress size than a size 10, YOU ARE VERY SILLY. I can't remember the last time I listened to a commercial song that had an ounce of meaning behind the lyrics, to say the truth, artists who purposely make commercial music, just want a bit of quick money.  It's so obvious Miss. Trainor didn't write these ''in-depth'' lyrics herself. And there's nothing wrong with her doing this, in fact it has benefited her because the song, as much as I hate to admit it, is very catchy and does stick in your head after you've heard it once, so she has done well because people will remember the song. Unfortunately, people won't remember her because she's not had much promotion as a new artist, I had to Google who she was before I wrote this.

However, I did read somewhere that Meghan has been nominated for the 'New Artist of the Year' award. No surprises there, lets face it it's always the over ratted singers and actors who get the awards.

Anyway, I think that's enough criticising for the night. On a positive note, I would like to say I watched the music video with my 3 year old cousin and she enjoyed it very much, it was very cute watching her try to sing the song. I guess every cloud does have a silver lining.

So far... Not much actually.

First of all I'd like to admit how ashamed I am of myself for not updating my blog as much as I should. I told myself 'every week, at least one post every week', that motivation obviously wasn't enough. 

I thought I should update whoever views my blog about what I've achieved since my last post which feels like it was posted years ago...

I got into the University I wanted to get into the most, which to me was a massive achievement. The grades I got for my last year of my A Levels were not what I hoped for, after seeing them I thought I could kiss the idea of going to University, goodbye! Thankfully, I got into UAL. 

I am now a, Journalism (B.A. Hons) student studying in the Capital. Fabulous. 

I've not officially started my degree course yet, which, to be honest is super annoying. I've been living in London for a whole month now, and all I seem to have done is spend money, unnecessarily. Sad. I start my course properly tomorrow, however. I am so excited which is strange because I've never been excited to start any form of education. Maybe because I'm studying something that I truly want to do as a career, it makes me feel like I have a foot through the door to getting where I want to go. 

I guess that's all I've done so far, I thought I'd done a lot, but no.

I'll be sure to update my blog a lot more. If anyone is reading I hope I'm as entertaining as I like to be.
