Who doesn't know Lady Gaga? Gaga is the epitome of art. She represents what real artists strive to be: innovating, transformative, influential, analytical. Sure, people may think that Lady Gaga's artistic choices can be questionable at times, but isn't that what being a true artist is all about? Artists like Salvador Dali and Pablo Picasso were seen as weird during their careers as well, and look where that got them. Lady Gaga is one of the only female pop stars that can back her talent up. Katy Perry? Oh please, next. Britney Spears? Try again.

Here are just a few of the many reasons why Lady Gaga is just getting started towards complete world domination.


1. Gaga is a real musician.

She plays the piano, keyboard and synthesizer. She writes her own music and actually sings live while dancing and performing in her shows. Throughout her career, Gaga has dabbled in many different music genres including rock, country, jazz, electronic/dance, pop and even rap/trap. She isn't a stranger to pushing her creative and musical, boundaries. She is evolving, growing, learning, maturing and perfecting. She isn't solely focused on radio plays and on album sales, she genuinely is focusing on trying to push her musical boundaries and be a creative force in the music industry. She absolutely killed it at the Super Bowl and stunned the audience at the European Games Opening Ceremony.

2. Gaga is a fully-rounded artist.

Gaga designs, sings, acts on television, acts in films and went to Tisch at the New York University to study Musical Theatre acting. If anyone can become an EGOT (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony) winner in this century, it's Gaga. I still think she should have won the Oscar for "Till it Happens To You".


3. Lady Gaga has a strong connection to her fan base.

Gaga is very open to receiving, welcoming and listening to her fans, regardless of where in the world she finds herself. Gaga isn't a pop star that has her security guards toss people aside, or walks through an airport ignoring everyone. Gaga takes her time, as exhausting as it may be, because she realizes the importance of her fans, Little Monsters.



4. Lady Gaga is a fashion muse.

Gaga is one of the biggest, if not the biggest, fashion forward inspiration in pop culture at the moment. Her trends and style have influenced countless pop stars throughout the years. You're welcome, Nicki and Katy. Gaga works with fashion houses constantly, she continues to evolve and represent herself in different ways. She has also been a part of various fashion campaigns, including Marc Jacobs, Tom Ford and Muggler.



5. Lady Gaga has important things to say.

Gaga uses her celebrity platform to speak up about things that the media or politicians chose to not speak about. She isn't afraid to speak her mind and fight for certain causes. Gaga understands that she must use her position to achieve instead of simply sitting idly by.


Gaga definitely has done a lot at her young age. She has managed to be part of social movements and to contribute many to the music, television, film, and fashion industries. Gaga is taking the world by storm, and she's just getting started.

College is a crazy, beautiful, amazing whirlwind. It is highly popularized in television and movies, but not necessarily in the most accurate way. Yes, there's frats, dingy dorms, raging house parties—but there's also a lot that people fail to mention.

1. If you thought that you knew how to study, you're wrong.

All of your classes aren't taught every day, so professors aren't on your case constantly about reading and memorizing material. Once you get back that "questionable" first exam grade, you'll kick it into high gear and figure out what works for you

Girl With Bleached Hair
Tumblr

I've been a bleach blonde for over a year now, and let me tell you, it is a lifestyle. More hair appointments, longer showers, and special shampoo. But it is totally worth it!

1. Mentally preparing yourself to convince your hair dresser that white is the way to go.

2. Or the anxiety of what could go wrong by bleaching your hair at home.

3. You could either become a ginger

4. Or a pixie

5. The face you make in the mirror when you take off your towel to unveil the perfect white strands.

6. Taking a million selfies the day you bleached it, because you know your roots will be back in literally 2 days.

7. Having to get bangs or a big chop because your hair is so damaged.

8. Having orange highlights in between touch-ups.

9. Going out for a drink afterwards to debut your updated look.

Despite the struggles, you love your platinum blonde hair! You make sure Instagram knows it, too. You don't need a filter, because the color is flawless by itself!

Finals: just thinking about them gives you anxiety. Only two weeks separate you from summer, but they're the longest of the semester. There's a familiarity to this season, now that you have had so many testing cycles under your belt. But that doesn't quell the ever present stress to pass your finals and your classes. Even better, as a package deal during these wonderful weeks, you get to wake up early to study and you get to take exams that can begin anytime from 7 A.M. to 7 P.M. Now that we have established that this week is not fun, here are some super relatable moments that punctuate finals week.

I've been at this college thing for almost three and a half years, and while I thought that high school was truly the lowest point of my existence, I'm beginning to realize that it was a walk in the park. Like, I miss the days when the biggest white lie I told my parents was my made up excuse about being late for fourth period. These days, the white lies are a tad more complex, and as ashamed as I am to admit it, I've definitely told a few of these.
