Beyonce has been stopping the charts since the 90's. From her Destiny's Child days to her own tours to her worldwide take over. She's been all over the news with her political videos and her new lemonade music video movie. It's easy to say that Beyonce has had major influences on the music industry for a very long time. I believe she is one of the most influential women in all music history. Most of her songs are based on women, power, and love. It's hard to narrow down all her lyrics because they are all so amazing but here is a list of some of the most important ones to live by.

1. "From now on, I'm gonna be my own best friend" Me, Myself, and I (2003)

2. "We shine a light on whatever's worst; Perfection is a disease of a nation." Pretty Hurts (2013)

3. "We're strong enough to make these millions, strong enough to bear these children." Run The World (2011)

4. "I took some time to live my life but don't think I'm just his little wife." Flawless (2013)

5. "Some call it arrogant, I call it confident." Ego (2008)

6. "I'll be there for you if someone hurts you. Even if that somebody is me." Bonnie and Clyde (2003)

7. "You don't deserve my tears. I guess that's why they ain't there" Best Thing I Never Had (2011)

8. "Imma keep runnin cuz a winner don't quit on themselves" Freedom (2016)

9. "Tell him boy, bye" Sorry (2016)

10. " I'm bigger than life. My name in the lights. I'm the number one chick. I don't need no hype" Bow Down (2013)

11. "Our love is stronger than your pride" All Night (2016)

12. "I'm so reckless when I rock my Givenchy dress" Formation (2016)

13. "You're just a boy, you don't understand." If I Were A Boy (2008)

14. "Always stay gracious, best revenge is your paper" Formation (2016)

15. "I'm more than what you made of me. I followed the voice you gave to me but now I've gotta find my own." Listen (2006)

16. "Acting up, drink in my cup. I could care less what you think." Single Ladies (2008)

17. "You know you're my saving grace" Halo (2008)

18. "Don't you drop that alcohol" 7/11 (2013)

19. "When I leave this world, I'll leave no regrets, leave something to remember, so they won't forget." I Was Here (2011)

20. "I work hard I grind till I own it" Formation (2016)

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
