Whether or not you’ve seen Pitch Perfect yet (and you definitely should), you may have seen an imitation or two floating around the internet of Anna Kendrick’s “Cups” scene, performing the song “You’re Gonna Miss Me.” Apparently the cup-slapping thing isn’t as hard to learn as it seems. This one, though, easily stands out from the pack. (And gives serious Nina Simone vibes towards the end.) Enjoy this performance, for the choir nerd in all of us. Thought Catalog Logo Mark

“You are the only person who gets to decide if you are happy or not—do not put your happiness into the hands of other people. Do not make it contingent on their acceptance of you or their feelings for you. At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter if someone dislikes you or if someone doesn’t want to be with you. All that matters is that you are happy with the person you are becoming. All that matters is that you like yourself, that you are proud of what you are putting out into the world. You are in charge of your joy, of your worth. You get to be your own validation. Please don’t ever forget that.” — Bianca Sparacino
