'Praying' Is Everything Animals Have Been Waiting For

justjared.com

Kesha, no longer Ke$ha, dropped her new single 'Praying' on July 6. The day before, she posted emotional videos on her Instagram for her animals and announced that her new song would be released the following day.

I was on break at work when I pulled up Kesha's new song and "ecstatic" is an understatement to describe how thrilled I was to find that the song also featured a music video. My insides were going: !!!!!!!!.

The first minute of the video is Kesha narrating a very sad, but very honest monologue that I'm sure has been echoing through her head since the day her problems with her producer, Dr. Luke, arose and the trial and publicity that followed.

In many articles, including one from Variety, it was stated that Kesha has not released music in almost five years. Her Animals have (im)patiently been awaiting another song from her. And, to our surprise, she's releasing an album on August 11. I cannot contain my excitement and if it's anything like 'Praying,' it's going to be amazing.

'Praying' was more than I could have ever wished for. It's real, it's raw, it's honest, and it's empowering. I can feel her emotions so deeply, and I can relate it to my own life. This only gives me high hopes for her much anticipated album.

Her video contains everything I'd expect from a Kesha music video - crazy clothes, glitter, awesome make-up, and vibes that give me the urge to dress up and sing along.

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.

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.
