Plan A: Thoughts on Pitch Perfect 2

Guess what I was finally able to do…see Pitch Perfect 2. If you have read my older post entitled “Plan B” I talked about how I was unable to go and see the movie with my brother due to things just not working out. I also did a little preview list of what I expected would happen through out the movie…and I am happy to say that I was on point with my guesses! So lets begin!

Things I Predicted-That Were There

• The Competition: There is no doubt that the competition was STRONG. In the movie lets just say “Das Sound Machine” is one group that I would be bowing down to when it comes to talent. Not to mention there was a Youtuber by the name of Flula as one of the leads. As a YouTube junkie its amazing to see a Youtuber make it into a big motion picture, I’m living my dream of success through the internet.
• Another Cup Song? : Now the song I have in mind is nowhere near as simple as the cup song is (even though I have yet to learn how to do it). The one I am thinking of is the song they perform at the World Finals. I’m talking about all the clapping, stomping, snapping, all of it! I mean, you can’t tell me a group of friends isn’t going to try to recreate this and post it on YouTube for all to watch. I just can’t wait to see how many people are able to do the song and do it correctly…maybe I will even give it a try 😉
• The Fat Amy and Bumper Romance: This was it! This was the movie where we saw that spark of love turn into a burning flame of passion…and I literally mean that! We finally get to see them become a couple, but of course not without a little drama at first. Lets just say Amy did an amazing performance regardless of all the things trying to stop her to win over Bumper! However this wasn’t the only romance that formed….just need to watch and see!
• The Acting: IT WAS ON POINT! Now, by no means am I an expert at acting or understanding the acting industry but to me they seemed to fit like puzzle pieces. I could just believe the friendships and hatred between the different actors and it was just AWESOME! I really wish I could have been behind the scenes with all of them and was able to really see how things were filming, because some of the scenes MUST have been difficult to film.

Now lets take a look at the things I was just a little bit off on …. or completely wrong about.

Things I Predicted-That Were Not Really There

• Fat Amy’s Comedy: Don’t get me wrong Fat Amy was as funny as ever but I was happily surprised when Becca took the spot light for the jokes. It was strange to hear such things coming from Becca’s character but happily welcomed. There will probably be many memes created about the things she says….I may or may not be creating t-shirts that say “My Body Sweat Smells Like Cinnamon”…
• Pre-Show Jitters…: What happened in the beginning once again set the movie off with a bang! Poor Fat Amy just chose the wrong under garments to be performing with….which were none. The poor President just saw a little bit more of Fat Amy than he really wanted to…everyone saw a little more than they wanted… But Hey, it got EVERYONE’S attention!

In my opinion I think I did pretty well! I really enjoyed this movie and would be happy to watch it again! I think most people would really enjoy this movie and I think wouldn’t even NEED to watch the first one, it might make the movie a little easier to understand, but I don’t think it is MANDATORY. All in all it was good and I am just happy I was able to see it. I would just like to thank my brother for taking me to see it.

Really sorry if this seemed like a review, which it really is, but it is what I did this weekend which would fall under things that happened in my life. Don’t be afraid to read my first post about all of this called “Plan B”. Just like the first Pitch Perfect it is not mandatory to read before this one. Make sure to leave your favorite part of the movie/review down in the comments! If you haven’t seen it leave your favorite part of the first one…and if you haven’t seen either thanks for reading even though you haven’t seen the movie, that shows true dedication 🙂 Thanks for letting me explain my thoughts of the movie and I’ll talk to you later!!

New School.New Me…I Hope

New School. New Me. That is what everyone says anyway. Heck that’s what I’m saying to my self right now, but it is a lot different when you actually have to act that way. Obviously I don’t really have to put that into effect since summer JUST started but eventually I am going to need to..and that is very terrifying to me. The reason I am even thinking of this right now is because today I visited the new school I will be attending once the new school year rolls around. You know, to see what my mom needs to have transferred and all that stuff… but as you can tell this trip caused me to suddenly realize that I am starting off with a blank slate…

I am going to be starting a new school..where I know no one..where it is HUGE..where I will be finishing out my last 2 years of high school…That is absolutely crazy! Its amazing of course because I would really like to start over, but it also terrifying me to the point of madness. I mean the last time I started a new school was in the 3rd grade and it was so much simpler back then. Kids didn’t seem that judgy and they would accept you as a friend as long as you were nice to them…but sadly high school is not like that.

I think that is one of my major concerns with this whole new school situation. I am just nervous that I might not fit in as quickly and nicely as I would like too. I am afraid of sitting alone at lunch on the 1st day of school and then for the rest of my high school career..and I know that is absolutely absurd but it is what my brain SWEARS is going to happen. But I guess we are going to have to wait and see….

But, I mean, things can’t be all bad about starting a new school…right? Maybe I should try focusing on the possible good things that could happen rather than all the bad. Like I get to meet a whole bunch of new people, or I get to be who ever I want to be because no one knows who I am. I think that might be the one thing that gets me through this new school process. I can change the way I hold myself in school and also everyone there won’t have pre-determined ideas of how I should act and what I’m like. Because when you grow up with the same group of kids your whole life you are stuck being the same person you were when you were in elementary school or middle school and there seems no way of changing the way they see you…

I think this might be my safety net. I get to be a whole new me…like I said “New School.New Me”… I no longer HAVE to be that one quiet girl who seems to be really smart. I mean obviously I can still be smart but I don’t have to be quiet. I can actually try to speak to different people and be as friendly as possible, but I can tell you that will be a task. I am really going to have to work on it a lot because it is one thing to say you will be different then it is to actually be different. It has always been a task for me to open up to people and have a decent conversation with them that is over other topics then what we were learning in class.

I always feel like I am being annoying or I am saying the wrong things. I don’t know, maybe it was just the kids in my school but I ALWAYS felt like I was being a bother whenever I tried to talk to other kids outside of my little friend circle..what can I say, teenagers can be terrible.. and that really sucks..but anyway..

I will probably do another section of this when ever school actually starts that way I can describe how I think things are going. But thanks for letting me share my fears and thoughts with you today. If you have ever started a new school and have some advice for me PLEASE share. As always its been amazing and I’ll talk to you later.

(By the way I am sorry if this post seems out of wack. I feel like some of my sentences are very long and rambly but I tried my best! Hopefully as I write more everything will flow better…I mean a girl can hope :P)

Rush

Today has been a looong day! I have been preparing for the Rush concert all day from getting in the shower, to getting ready, to actually getting to the concert! But I guess it was all for a “good” reason. …

Freedom at Last!

It’s official, my summer vacation has finally started for me…I mean technically I have one more day of school left but I am choosing to skip it because..who cares. But yes I am finally free! Free from homework, from annoying people, and of course the annoying teachers.

Now, I’m not saying all teachers are terrible and cruel because I have definitely had some AMAZING teachers in the past but you know there is ALWAYS just one teacher that just gets under your skin. I had a couple this year but there was one in particular that made me want to cry, throw-up, and scream all at the same time. She was the kind of teacher that just seemed to intimidate you to the point where you were too afraid to even ask questions because if you did she would look at you as if you were stupid. In my opinion if you have that sort of effect on children then you do NOT need to be teaching. I don’t care how qualified you are, if I am too afraid to talk to you and ask questions, and I end up making a low-grade in your class because of it then maybe you should take some sensitivity training or something……

But like I was saying I am done with all of that! I can now spend my time laying in bed, watching Netflix, or simply sleeping because I no longer need to worry about school. It is kind of terrible that I feel that way about free public school, I mean look at me I get free schooling, I’m not starving to death, and I have clothes on my back…I need to stop complaining.Its just I get so stressed throughout the year. I am always worried about an assignment or my grade in a class and it is just nice to be able to let my brain have a vacation for a while. I can finally go out and do some fun stuff without having a nagging thought about how I have a AP Psychology test tomorrow or a Chemistry lab due Wednesday…I’m just free to make plans!

Speaking of plans the upcoming months seem to be a little pack full of amazing-ness. I am about to go to a concert on May 26, then another one on June 8, and then on June 22 I am getting to go on a trip to the beach with my grandmother for a couple of days. It just seems like maybe I won’t have another summer where I am sitting in my house all day avoiding sunlight like I have in the past. I am ready to embrace this summer and, in a way, form a new me. I really think that is my goal for this summer, change the way I take on the world and change the way the world takes on me. Instead of being a “shy girl who doesn’t talk much” like everyone thinks I am I want to become the person I am around friends and family. A girl who tells “funny” jokes and is able to have conversations easily and not worry about what I say all the time…I will probably talk about all of this another time…

But ya, I am ecstatic about the fact that it is summer and I can’t wait for things to start happening! I really think it is going to be amazing and hopefully adventure packed! Let me know some of your summer plans and some reasons why you are excited for the summer to start! Like always its been amazing sharing my thoughts with you and I will talk to you later!

Plan B

In life you never know how things are going to turn out and end up. You go through life thinking that you have every step planned, you’re going to go to college, then get married, then have children, then live happily ever after. But then along the way things get a little twisted. Maybe you get married before you end up going to college. Maybe you never get married, maybe you never go to college..what ever the plot twist might be you never expected it to occur.

Now, what I’m going to talk about isn’t at all as serious as going to college, getting married, or having children..no it is about not getting to go see a movie (insert everyone’s eye roll). So, I was planning on going to see Pitch Perfect 2 this weekend with my older brother and I was really excited. I even planned on making a review on here about how I thought it compared to the first one and all that (which can still be expected once I go and see it). But then as I was waiting for him to tell me to start getting ready for it he instead comes and tells me that we will not be seeing it this weekend…

At first I was a little bit upset because I wanted to see it and blog about it because that is what I had planned out in my mind, but then I had a talk with my wise grandmother. She asked me why I was upset and I told her (even though hearing it aloud made me feel very stupid) and this was her response, “Sometimes you can’t always count on what you planned. Throughout life your plans are going to have to change which is why you always need a plan B. Make sure to always have a plan B with everything you do because sometimes your plan A doesn’t work out.”

Right now, as I type, I am creating my plan B. So instead of writing a review about the two movies I will be writing what I expect to get out of the second movie, which is as follows.

PITCH PERFECT 2 EXPECTATIONS: (BASED OFF TRAILERS)

• Fat Amy will be once again telling some amazing jokes. Lesib-honest (see what I did there) her jokes from the first movie were hilarious and very quotable!
• The competition will be fierce. From the trailers I can tell the competition will be more intense and also bring some new faces and jokes into the mix.
• There may be another song like the cup song. While watching the 2nd trailer I believe I saw and heard the Bellas singing while clapping and stomping among other things…if that’s not the start of a new “cup song” then I don’t know what is
• Hopefully some budding romance. We will just have to wait and see but I believe Fat Amy and Bumper might be forming a little relationship!   😉
• Maybe some more pre-show jitters (comparing to what happened within the first 10 mins of Pitch Perfect). This was just a gripping start to the first one. I mean who looks away from a movie that is daring enough to open with such a thing!
• The acting will be amazing and maybe even better then before with a lot more chemistry between the actors. In Pitch Perfect the actors were amazing, however I think they have grown so much as a cast and the movie will prosper because of it!

There you go, my plan B. I really hope you enjoyed and maybe you have some more expectations to share (and if you have seen the movie PLEASE don’t spoil). I’m sorry if I got a little serious in the beginning but I hope you can forgive me. Its been amazing sharing with you a little piece of my life and sharing some thoughts! Keep an eye out later on this week to see if I ever post my review of the actual movie and also for my Thursday post. Thanks again for reading and I’ll talk to you later!

Hello and Welcome!

Hey there and welcome! I am Lizzy and this is my first ever blog post… Now, I’m going to be real with you, I have been thinking about what I should write all day and I still have no clue. I was thinking maybe I should spend this time to describe myself and talk about my personality but then I was thinking maybe I should just skip all of that and just jump right into it all…but I couldn’t decide and here we are.

I am sitting on a bed somewhere in America listening to some cheesy music trying to spew out some amazing sentences to explain what I am like and what this blog is going to be like but nothing seems to fit. So maybe I should stick to the basics…This blog is for the entertainment of you and of myself/family. This is my way of expressing my inner thoughts and feelings and a way to share my life with others. Now I know not everyone is as nosy as me when it comes to knowing about other people’s lives but this kind of stuff really interests me. I find it a way for me to live through other people and sort of get a sense of what their day is like and what they feel. I mean don’t get me wrong I have no way of truly feeling what another person feels but there is just something about reading about their life that interests me so much. I hope there are other people who are the same and like to “people watch” like I do.

Now if you are like me then you might want to know when I will be posting about my life and events. I am hopefully going to try to post at least twice a week. For right now those days are Tuesday and Thursday. Don’t get me wrong I know there will come a point where I feel no inspiration to write and then other times when I feel like writing everything I am feeling at the moment, but I will try to keep a frequent schedule of Tuesday and Thursday.

Well I think that is all I have to spew out as of yet. I’m sorry if you don’t understand some of it or if it is “rambly” but I’m trying my best. Hopefully as time goes on things will begin to get easier and smoother. I hope you stick around to “people watch” my life and see what I have to show. Have a great day and talk to you later.
