University // Why I'm So Grateful To Be Here

Hey Guys!

It has been a while since I've wrote anything on here. After I got back to university in January I had finals and assignments to complete all in the space of two weeks and then the new semester started at the beginning of February so I wanted to concentrate on my new modules and keep on top of all the work. So, I took a hiatus from writing and prioritised my school work. But now I'm back and trying to fit more time in my week to write blog posts again ❤

I'm constantly trying to focus on things I'm grateful for, especially when I'm having a bad day. So, one thing I'm constantly grateful for is getting the opportunity to go to university. I always think about what my life would be like right now if I didn't go to university or even more specifically Newcastle University, so I wanted to express how grateful I am having access to education and being able to go to a great university ♡

1. Friends: I have met the most amazing people while I have been here in Newcastle. My housemates, course mates and those I've met through mutual friends have made my time at university so much better than my expectations! Living with some of my favourite people has been such a blessing, having people around who are so supportive, always having something to joke about and the nights out has made my time in Newcastle for the past two years so fun! 

2. Being a student: I love going to university! I'm so sad that I've nearly finished my second year already. The time here at university flies by so quick, it felt like only a minute ago I started my second year and moving into our house. My course is perfect for me, it is everything I hoped for and more, so the fact I'll have to graduate next year makes me so sad. I love learning new things, I love being able to sit and learn about something new all the time, which is why I'm so grateful that here in the UK I got the opportunity to attend such a great university and take a course that is exactly what I wanted to do. It is just so sad that July next year I will have graduated and will have to move on to other things. 

3. Opportunities: I have had so many great opportunities since coming to university, especially in my second year. When I started second year I knew that I needed to start building up my CV and gaining experience. So I explored and looked into it and now I'm writing for The Tab, I work for the university's marketing department as a content creator writing blog posts and I've been able to network with people in the media and creative industry. I'm grateful that I'm able to have these opportunities through uni and gain more experience in the industry I want a career in.

4. Learning to become independent: One thing I learnt from moving away from home and moving to a new city is how to be independent and how to look after myself. I was always quite independent when I was back home and living with my parents, but I never had to do my washing, cook for myself everyday and if I was unsure about something my parents were always there. Whereas, since moving to Newcastle I had to learn how to do everything on my own, make my own decisions and look after my money (including earning my own money). I can confidently say now that I'm able to do everything on my own (unless I'm really stuck and I ring my mum and dad haha!).

There are so many more reasons why I'm grateful for getting the opportunity to go to Newcastle University, but they can wait for another time  💕

See you on Wednesday my lovelies!

My New Year Resolutions for 2018

Hey Guys!

This post is a bit late as it's already the 9th of January and normally I do publish my posts on Sundays at 6pm but I've just got back to Newcastle for my university final assessments before I start a new semester, so my schedule is all over the place at the moment. I'm trying to get back into my usual routine but I have four essays I need to complete in the next few weeks.

For my first post of 2018 I thought I would share my New Years Resolutions with you all. I want to be able to look back and see if I've achieved them by the end of 2018 and reflect. This year I've gone for some resolutions that are a little more easier to achieve and aren't so ambitious that I'll find it hard to complete. I want to be able to achieve my goals this year and feel that I've accomplished something that will benefit me in many ways. 

Meditate For 5 Minutes a Day

Over the summer I tried to meditate everyday for just 5 minutes using the mindfulness app Headspace. When I was really busy and just took 5 minutes to sit and relax it helped me stay focused. I loved doing it in the morning after breakfast, I'd sit with a cup of tea, relax, and then afterwards I would feel so motivated to carry on with what I needed to do that day. If I didn't manage to do it in the morning I would make sure to do it before I went to sleep to help me wind down. Therefore, this year I want to try and do it everyday, keep a streak going so that I can see some improvements over the year such as my motivation, focus and mindfulness. 

Read 6-7 books

I've got back into reading again recently so I wanted to challenge myself to read six or seven books over the year. I've got a pile of books I've been meaning to go through for ages so I want this year to be the year I go through them all. When I was younger I was constantly reading and it was always Jacqueline Wilson, so I'm reigniting the love again! Let me know if there are any books your recommend. 

Start Reading Self Help Books

There are so many great positive self help books out there that I want to read like; Body Positive Power: How to stop dieting, make peace with your body and live and A Beautiful Mind, a Beautiful Life: The Bubz Guide to Being Unstoppable. These two books focus on mindfulness and remaining positive, which are books that reach out to me, as I try and be as optimistic as possible. If there are any great self help books you recommend let me know in the comments!

Become an Organ Donor 

I've actually already achieved this one. On Saturday I joined the register to be an organ donor. I've wanted to register for ages but I wanted to make sure to speak to my family first so that they knew about my decision. I want to be cremated when I die so I thought I might as well donate my organs and save lives. I'd rather someone else continue to live their lives and be healthy than my organs go with me. 

Yoga Once a Week

I normally do a New Year resolution related to working out and becoming more fit and toned but this year I wanted to give myself a resolution that I could stick to and would help me relax more when the semester at uni gets stressful, so I decided on yoga. It's relaxing, it will help my awful posture and a lot of people recommend yoga when you want to stay active but not do strenuous exercise, therefore I want to give it a go! 

Give Blood

At the moment I actually can't give blood as I am slightly under the desired weight they would prefer, therefore it is suggested that I don't sign up to give blood. So, I hope by the end of this year I will have gained a little bit of weight so that I can at least once donate blood for a good cause and help someone.

Hopefully by the end of 2018 I'll be able to review and reflect on my New Year Resolutions. What are your New Year Resolutions? Let me know in the comments below ♡ 

See you on Sunday my lovelies!

My Favourite YouTubers

Hey Guys! 

I've watched YouTube for a very long time as it has always been a source of entertainment, escapism, and a great place to search things like tutorials! Thanks to YouTube I was able to become more creative with my blog and it is actually a very motivating platform for someone like me, as when I see someone else getting results I believe in myself a lot more! So I thought I'd share with you guys who my favourite YouTubers are, those who motivate me with my own creative content and who also give the best escapism from my own reality ❤ 

Lindy - BubzBeauty

I have watched Lindy's videos for as long as I can remember! Before she got married and had both Issac and Ayla! I can't remember how I discovered her channel now but I remember when I was at secondary school I would always watch her make up and hair tutorials and try them out for school. I can't believe that she has actually been on YouTube for this long, she has achieved so much in such a short time! Building a school in Laos is incredible and being able to see such a great individual accomplish that is so influential. I love watching both Lindy's videos and vlogs; they are just so positive ❤ I'm big on being positive and optimistic and she is exactly that, all her videos are casual, fun and they are perfect for cheering you up when in your reality you aren't having the best time! I love that she gives such great advice at overcoming certain obstacles we all experience and she gives me motivation to be better at everything I do, especially being more productive and making the most of what I have! ♡ 

Weylie - ilikeweylie and WahlieTV

Weylie is so hilarious! She is one of my all time favourite YouTube creators and she is the one person I always get excited about when she is uploading new videos and vlogs! I've watched Weylie since she first started her YouTube channel when she uploaded her iconic Tampon video and I loved her then and I still love her videos now ♡ I feel like I've actually grown up with her as she has moved on from high school, gone to college, moved in with Wah, moved to San Francisco, then Los Angeles and all the bits in between. Her friendship with Sophia as well is so funny, they literally bounce off each other haha! She has done so well with her YouTube channel and over the years her creative content has given me a lot of inspiration especially her Girl Talk videos and personal advice Q&As. The things she has learnt I have been able to adapt into my own life as well.

 I absolutely adore her relationship with Wah, even though they will only show the best parts of their relationships through her social media platforms I just love how supportive they are of each other and to be together for that many years is so cute! I like both Weylie's individual YouTube channel but also her channel she shares with Wah. Their vlog channel is so funny, their daily adventures and the dogs are so entertaining it could cheer anybody up after a bad day. Seeing them both grow as people and achieve so many great things is so satisfying, they have done so many exceptional things and shared so many achievements through both their channels that it gives people like me a boost in the right direction, a nudge to achieve something you have to work hard for it! ♡ 

Sophia Chang

This girl is so funny! I love her humour and character :) I only discovered Sophia through Weylie when they became close friends after meeting in Los Angeles and then through them becoming friends and vlogging together I became interested in the content that Sophia created. She did videos very similar to Weylie and so I knew that I would enjoy watching her videos! She has such a great humour and over time her content has got better and better and the creative ideas she gets helps me create ideas for my own content and what I want to be able to achieve on this platform. Sophia has a very unique style and her lookbook videos have actually inspired me to try wearing different things and experiment wearing clothes I wouldn't normally wear but want to, basically be more creative. Other than her creative content like make up tutorials and fashion related content I really love her vlogs as well. Obviously Weylie and Wah are in them as well so that does make everything a lot more entertaining but even when it is just her and Silas they are so positive and comical. Her spirit and happy energy is just something else, even in her videos when she has been struggling with something she still shows the bright side to everything! Silas is great too, if you haven't checked out his photography it is amazing :) It's people like Weylie and Sophia that encourage me to try new looks with make up and fashion and to experiment a lot more without worrying about the outcome. I highly recommend you check Sophia's videos, if you don't like the videos at least stay for the graphics and edits, they are so good! ♡ 

Stephanie - soothingsista 

I used to watch Stephanie back in the day and then for a while I didn't watch any of her videos because at the time the content created wasn't something I was interested in. But this past year the content she has been producing has been so good! Especially the different make up looks she has been rocking and her vlogs! I love that most of my favourite YouTubers are friends so whenever I watch one of their vlogs 90% of the time the rest of them will be in it haha! They kind of rotate in the same circles so they all get to experience the same sort of experiences, therefore if one doesn't upload a video about it one of the others will! Stephanie is a great person, who is someone I aspire to me like. She is so selfless and genuine, like Weylie and Sophia and none of them have changed even though they have gained more popularity on their social platforms over the years. My favourite videos that Stephanie has created for me are her tattoo related ones, I love her different tattoos and when she got her first few a couple of years ago I got so interested in their individual meanings and where the inspiration came from. Stephanie has a very unique style, like Sophia and that makes me want to try different types of looks and try shopping in different places! She actually encouraged me to wear my glasses more as I started to feel less self conscience about having to wear them 90% of the time. 

Jenn Im - Clothes Encounters

When I first started watching Jenn's videos a few years ago I would watch a video here and there and I wouldn't really be bothered if it was a favourites video or a make up look because at the time I wasn't really bothered about creative make up looks or what other people were into throughout the months. But over the past year I've been loving all her videos! Whether its a 'What Would Jenn Wear', 'Monthly Favourites', 'Lookbooks' and her vlogs. I find her videos give me a lot of motivation for my own content on this blog, as seeing how well she edits her videos together and the graphics encourages me to do better and achieve what she has been able to achieve! She is also a great optimistic person, and obviously like Jenn says you can't be positive and optimist all the time but at least you can try and that is what I like about her. She is constantly trying to improve herself and work harder to achieve her goals which is very inspiring to watch. She has suggested so many great books and apps that are great for self help, motivation, positive thinking and general happiness which has been encouraging! ♡ 

Annabelle - Cat Creature

I only started watching Annabelle's video a few months ago and she is someone I've never come across before, and by that I mean someone who has a unique type of content creating and editing her videos. But also just her personality, to me she is someone so genuine and down to earth that it feels like she is a close friend and she is so thoughtful about her sister and family. Seeing her interact with her family and the way she cares for them encourages me to be a better person and be a lot more grateful for what I have ♡ I love how creative she is with her editing and how she puts her videos together! She definetley puts a different perspective on things, making any situation good and making the most of everything! Her videos this summer have been so inspiring and have actually changed my outlook on particular things; be a lot more grateful for what I have in my life and those around me. It's incredible how the way she has filmed and edited these videos can change one person's perspective on so many different aspects of life!

Cassey Ho - Blogilates

Cassey has been on YouTube for what seems like forever and since I've started uni she is the best YouTuber to watch when you can't afford to go to the gym because your a poor student! She has different work outs for those who are at different levels of fitness and she just makes a really hard work out so much easier! I'm really bad at working out and lack a lot of motivation to reach the actual fitness level I want, but thanks to Cassey's video I'm beginning to develop the type of motivation I need to get the result I want :)

She also has great videos for relaxation and stretching which are great if you can't sleep. I'm the worst for settling down to sleep after a busy day so stretching and just relaxing in a quiet environment for a few minutes helps me settle for a quiet half an hour before I try to sleep ♡ 

Who is your favourite YouTuber? Let me know in the comments below!

See you on Sunday my lovelies! ❤

Recent Movies I've Been Obsessing Over | Part 1

Hey Guys!

While I've been home from university I've been catching up on a lot of TV shows and movies I didn't have chance to watch while I was studying, so nearly every week I've been getting through a decent list of movies! I'm more into watching TV shows than movies as they are shorter and I'm not forced to concentrate as long haha but recently I've been getting more into movies :P I made the post into two different parts as otherwise the post would become too long and boring, so I split it into part one and two so it isn't dragged out as much, as you can tell from part one there are a few Disney movies ♡ 

 Let's Go!

Beauty & The Beast (2017)

I've always loved Disney movies, I mean who doesn't! They are classic movies for most people in my generation, we were brought up on most Disney movies and even at the age of 19 I'm still in love with the concepts that Walt Disney created!  So, when Disney revealed that they were going to begin adapting our childhood favourites into live action movies I must admit I was worried and sceptical. I was conscience that they might ruin the classic version and try and make it into something it isn't but I had a little faith as at the end of the day it is still the Disney company creating these movies! So, when the movie came out I didn't get the chance to see it in the cinema as I was really busy and by the time I had the opportunity to go to the cinema everyone had already been and seen it. Then, finally when I came back to my family home I had the chance to see it... and it was amazing! Like hands down fantastic! It was just as magical and enchanting as the original Beauty & The Beast movie but with even more surprise. The fact they were able to add some scenes that weren't in the original didn't ruin anything for me and gave more light to the story. 

I was also really sceptical about the fact Emma Watson was going to play Belle. For me Emma Watson will always be Hermoine Granger to me, and I know I shouldn't just link her to one role she has played as she will play many more great roles but she was so exceptional in the Harry Potter series of films that she will always remind me of her character! But when I watched her in Beauty & The Beast she didn't remind me once of Hermoine and I think that must be because of the character difference and setting of the film. It isn't a film you can compare to Harry Potter as they are very different movies. I was surprised and relieved at how well Emma Watson played Belle, and her singing was something else! Who knew she could sing that well :) 

Overall, I loved the movie! Loved it. Of course the original will always be my favourite because I grew up watching it but, the new one has a lot of love from me and is one that I could happily watch over and over ♡ 

Moana

My friend and flatmate Jess went to see Moana back when it came out last year and raved about how good it was, so finally it got released on SKY and I was able to watch it! With anything Disney I'll 9/10 have to see it as none of the movies they have produced have disappointed me so far! And Moana hasn't let me down either. What I love about this film is that it has absolutely nothing to do with a love relationship between the two protagonists, though for a second I did think maybe Maui and Moana would become romantic in some way but they didn't and I'm glad! Don't get me wrong I love a classic princess and prince love story especially Disney's versions but I'm glad this was purely about Moana and her heritage :) It is such a feel good film and its both funny, sad and enchanting in every way that Disney is ♡ 

The soundtrack for this movie as well is brilliant! I have it on my iPhone so whenever I need to get work done or a sing along the movie's songs are my go to! They are just so fun and uplift your mood :) 

If your a Disney lover or just love feel good movies Moana is definetley one of them! Like Beauty & The Beast I can watch it whenever!

The Jungle Book (2016)

I actually never liked the original 'Jungle Book' when it was released back in my childhood. I watched it a few times but I never really liked the concept or any characters except Baloo, so originally when the new live action 'Jungle Book' came out I wasn't bothered about seeing it at all, even when people would rave about it I just passed it off as I film I didn't really like and wasn't interested in. However, while I had nothing to do this summer I was scrolling through SKY and saw that 'The Jungle Book' had been put into Sky Premiere so having nothing else to do I thought I'd watch it and see what the hype was all about! 

And...it is actually an incredible film! I cried so much towards the end and considering it is live action they did so well with the CGI for the animals and those characters that couldn't be played by an actor! 

They gave it such a different perspective and made it so much more adventurous that the original animated version! The characters like Baloo, Mowgli and Bagheera are so loving and fun it makes the movie so cute and fun! Its a feel good family film but it does have some sad elements, especially related to the family of wolves that brought Mowgli up ♡ 

If you didn't like the original animated version like I didn't I'm positive you will like the live action version! Seeing a different aspect to the film is so enchanting! 

King Arthur: Legend of The Sword

When it was advertised for the cinema I actually really wanted to go and see it but then all my assignments at university needed completing and handing in so I never got the opportunity or the money to be honest, so since I came home for summer I've had plenty of spare time and in the evenings I have nothing else to do so the choice is to either watch movies, TV or read. Therefore, I chose to watch 'King Arthur one of the nights and damn it was so action packed and thrilling! There is so much going on and fighting it doesn't have chance to get boring! 

The actor Charlie Hunnam reminds me a lot of Tom Hardy for some reason, whether it is the appearance or because the character has similar traits to those of the characters Tom Hardy has played but he played Arthur so well and I couldn't imagine anybody else playing the character! 

The film is quite a long film, hitting the two hours mark, but it has to be that long to fit in all the good action packed scenes! I actually thought it would be a very realistic historical movie purely based on methods of fighting and combat but it also has witchcraft and spiritual methods as well, so it has a mix of everything really! It has a great cast list and Jude Law is a great villain for the movie, a role I'd never expect to see him in! 

Overall, it is a great movie and I think some of the critics were a bit too harsh on the reviews of the movie! Especially on David Beckham's scene, I thought he did very well for his first acting role considering it isn't something he has done before and it wasn't a long scene either, so I think people were just being a bit too harsh because it isn't related to football!

What is your favourite movie you have seen this summer? Let me know in the comments below!

Part 2 will be out next week! 

See you on Wednesday my lovelies! ♡

Netflix Watch List | July 2017

Hey Guys!

There are so many great series on Netflix, and there are a few I've been desperate to watch, so while I've got spare time over the summer I want to finally get round to watching all these popular shows everyone is talking about :) Lets Go! 

Orange is the New Black

My best friend Sam has been trying to get me to watch Orange is the New Black for so long and has always raved about how great the story-line is, so I'm determined to finally binge watch all the seasons and see what the fuss is about! I know what the basic plot line is and what happens in some of the episodes so I'm intrigued to find out more! 

Peaky Blinders 

I've watched a couple of episodes here and there when its been on the TV and enjoyed them, hence I thought that it was about time I sat down and watched them properly, so that I could get a better idea  of what the series is about and not get confused when something really dramatic like a stand off occurs! I'm really into dramatic and action filled shows like these so if there are any other ones similar let me know in the comments below ♡ 

Shadow Hunters

I loved watching the City of Bones movie starring Lily Collins and have always wanted to read the books, so now that there is a series on Netflix I want to see how good it is. Two of my flat mates have raved about how good the series is compared to the film and that the series is closer to the books than it is the movie so I hope it will live up to my expectations :) 

The Tudors

After reading 'Henry VIII's Wives' I've got really into shows and movies based around the Tudor and Elizabethan era, so I want to start watching The Tudors after both my flat mate and mum recommended it. I know there are quite a few seasons to catch up on but I'm really into historical themed dramas so it shouldn't take me long to finish it haha! 

Pretty Little Liars

The amount I read and see on Twitter and Facebook about Pretty Little Liars I should know the story-line by now but thankfully I stayed away from some of the spoilers! This show seems to have been around forever but I've never thought to start watching it until recently :) After seeing so many different trailers and tweets I thought it was about time I started to watch season 1 and see what the hype is about. One of my friends said that she is addicted to the show and is always talking about how it was getting so dramatic and me being a drama lover it sounds right for me haha!

Reign

I started watching it a while back but I was so busy at the time that I couldn't continue watching it and now I'm really behind and have forgot completely what happened in the few episodes that I watched! But I want to get back into it as there are four seasons to catch up on now haha! Like I've said previously I love historical themed dramas and I know that Reign is all about the drama so I'm looking forward to it ♡ 

Poldark

When Poldark came out on the BBC I wasn't really bothered to be honest and I didn't see the big appeal to the show but now that I've actually been to the location of filming and read a little bit more into the history and origin of the show I'm quite interested! So hopefully I won't be disappointed. Aidan Turner is some eye candy as well ❣ 

Medici: Masters of Florence

I've never heard of this show before and nobody has ever mentioned or recommended it so when it popped up as a suggestion on Netflix I was intrigued. Seeing that the main protagonist is played by the same actor who was in Game of Thrones I wanted to see if this show is any good compared to other series based in the same time period. I didn't even bother continue reading into the series and just added it to the watch list. We will have to see if its any good :p

Frontier

Like Medici: Masters of Florence I hadn't heard anything of Frontier before until it came up as a suggestion on Netflix and from reading a little bit of the blurb I thought the action and historical theme is something I would enjoy, so its on the watch list! 

The Last Kingdom

If you are a fan of The Vikings from the History channel you might be interested in this too! He was from a Saxon family, the Vikings killed his father and raised him as their own and it sounded very compelling when I read some of the blurb! I loved the Viking series (even though I haven't finished it yet) and considering this is about the same period of history I think I'll enjoy it too :)

Hopefully I'll be able to watch them all before the second year uni work drowns me and I'll have no time for Netflix or a social life haha! :)

Let me know if there are any other shows your guys recommend! 

See you on Sunday my lovelies! ♡

Where Have I Been?

Hey Guys!

Sorry that I've been gone for so long and for not uploading any content in the last couple of weeks! 

As most of you know from May to June it is exams and final assignment period at university, so I was really busy finishing all my last assignments and making sure I'd completed all the work that needed to be handed in. I also spent a lot of my time celebrating the end of my first year at university with all my friends and just enjoying my time of freedom from assignments and readings haha! 

But while I've been gone a lot has been going on. I've finished my first year at Newcastle University, my flatmates and I have moved out of our university accommodation and we are due to get the keys for our new house on the 19th July, I've come back to my home town for summer to see all my family and friends and now its time to mentally prepare for the second year of university!   

I've got some fun blog posts planned for this summer which I can't wait to share with you guys and I've got some summer goals I want to document on here. So my usual posting days will be the same, Wednesdays and Sundays at 6pm. I look forward to sharing some new content with you guys! 

See you tomorrow my lovelies for a new post! ❤

Moving to University | Newcastle

Hey Guys!

Now that I'm back its time to update you guys on my life and what I've been up to recently :)

I've been very hiatus throughout August and September due to making the move to Newcastle and settling in at University. I'm currently an undergraduate student at Newcastle University studying Media, Communication and Cultural Studies. I love the university and the city is my new favourite place. Newcastle has now become my second home and considering I'm from a small town in the East Midlands moving to a city was a big change for me. But I love it! 

 

So on the 24th September I made the move to Newcastle to start my new life at Newcastle University! The drive was long (3 hours and a bit) and considering I was surrounded by most of my belongings it wasn't exactly comfortable! I think Billy (my dog) struggled for space next to me as well haha!

Trying to pack all my stuff into boxes and clear my room was not easy! I packed so much stuff my parents even had to made a second trip up to Newcastle the following weekend to bring me the rest of my stuff. I didn't realise I had so many things I wanted to take to uni with me haha!

We had to set off quite early so that we could get to my accommodation shortly after lunch to get my keys and move into my flat. The freshers who were on hand to help everyone move in were so helpful and about 5 of them all carried my stuff into the flat and into my room and I didn't have to move anything! We were in and out within 5 minutes and the car was empty :)

For most people the move would take a whole day but considering how fast everything was I was there and moved into my room within a couple of hours. It did take me a while to unpack, put everything in its place and considering I didn't have everything I needed yet due to over packing I wasn't fully unpacked until the weekend after where I had a place for everything. 

I settled in quite quick I thought, obviously I missed my family, boyfriend and pets back home but I just focused on the positives of being here at Newcastle and as soon as I got here it felt like home so I didn't struggle to adapt to this drastic change. 

Now that I've finally moved to university and settled in you realise how much your parents do for you, whats its like to be independent and have to look after yourself. Of course there are many positives and negatives but coming to university and moving to such an amazing city has been the best decision I have made!

I will be uploading more posts on life in Newcastle and at the university so look out for more university life content soon :)

See you soon lovelies!

Fall/Winter Playlist 2016

Hey Guys!

Every now and then I like to upload the playlist I'm listening to on my phone to share with you guys some old and new tunes I'm loving! If your anything like me music can affect my mood a lot and the songs I like fluctuate all the time, because like a lot of people I listen to one song constantly and after excessively listening to it I get bored and move on to a new song haha :P I listen to a lot of Spotify as well so I get a lot of inspiration for what music to listen to from that. 

These posts are a little bit like my monthly favourites but with music and will depend on whether I'm into a lot of music or not! :)

#1 Blood, Sweats & Tears by BTS

#2 Home by Ailee ft Yoonmirae

#3 Lotto by EXO
