Pitch Perfect 2 - Lessons and best moments

So I have been going on and on about Pitch Perfect 2 since i watched it yesterday (Shout out to my short-term assistant, Chisom for dragging me to the cinema). 

If you loved part 1 and you also love electronic music, you would absolutely LOVE part 2.

I hate movie and TV show spoilers so I won't be telling you a lot about the movie (but if you follow me on snapchat, you will see so many spoilers clips *coughs*).  However, I learnt a few lessons from the movie and got a few random thought that I want to share.

1. Wearing underwear is a choice:

Don't laugh (or frown, depending on your perceptive tendencies), this is a serious point. Everyday, when you get up and get dressed, you have the choice to wear underwear or not...you even have a choice if to wear clean or dirty underwear. I hate to think that there are ladies who wear dirty underwear (*cringes in disgust*) but I do know that a good number of man wear the same pair of boxer shorts for 3 or more consecutive days. STOP IT! Please. Imagine if you finally got a chance with that girl you have been chasing and you have dirt tracks on the waist band of your boxers or if the butt area has slight brown stains.

Ladies, as much as I hate to think of girls wearing dirty underwear, I once knew a girl in my university hostel who had just 2 pants. She sometimes wore the back of the used one if the other one was wet. Here is a commandment that I think will help you....as a lady, thou shalt not have less than 10 pairs of underwear; one for each day of the week and then 4 extras for the times when you have to change your sanitary towels while on your period.

Let us not forget the choice to go without underwear...I honestly don't see anything wrong with it but do the world a favour and ensure that while you are strutting around with no underwear, the slightest bit of your privates are not exposed...you do not want to be the reason for people to be psychologically traumatised.

2. The best way to wipe out the memory of an embarrassing moment is to win, despite it:

So imagine having your cloths rip while you are performing for the president, on national television. Chances are that you would crawl under rock and never want to show your face again or you would struggle so hard to be confident and issue press releases to explain and attend interviews about it but never quite do anything remarkable after that. There is a huge chance that you would become that person 'wey fall hand for president front on top TV'. 

How about, next time you get an unfortunate low blow, instead of sinking in, you find the next opportunity to win and bloody hell win? That move alone will certainly change the way your story is written in the history books.

3. Breaking away from the norm is scary...but just might be the break you need:

So you have been doing the same thing for the past 3/4/5 years...same job, same car, same house, same state/county...nothing about you has changed (well, maybe except for your body weight) and you know in your heart that you want more but you are just to afraid to take the step. (Sorry, I gotta include this spoiler) Becka took a bold step and got an internship at a music recording studio and that move was the basis for the hall-rocking victory the Bellas had, even though at a point she thought she didn't have what it took to be a music producer.

Sometimes, you just need to make a move. It may break you, it certainly will bend you, but at least you would have learned. The worst that could happen is that you will realise that what you always thought you were called for is not for you or you could find even better ways of using your natural gifts to build a legacy.

4. Your history matters:

It sometimes feels cool to not be associated with a lot of things in our past and history. (Trust me on this one, I have been so dissociated from so many things and the struggle over the past few years to get grounded has been just that, a struggle; but I will defiantly get through). A firm grasp of your history makes you stand a higher chance at winning. (Another spoiler, I am sorry). As much as there were other reasons the Bellas won, I think that the 2nd most endearing reason was that they brought together Bellas from past generations to perform on stage at the world tournament. It was beautiful. 

Imagine if they didn't know these people from their history or has dissociated from them.

5. Creative Originality ALWAYS wins:

This is a lesson form part 1 and 2. In part one, Becka changed the sound of the Bellas and made it a dope aca-mashup (i don't believe I just used aca-speech in this post...lol). In part two, she and Emily worked together to create and produce an original song which they performed on stage. They were the first ever accapella group to perform an original song. 

Don't be afraid to do you and be creative...your original creativity will always make you win (for some reason, Korrede Bello's song is playing in my head)
