4 Ways To Slay Like Beyonce
Billboard

Beyonce! This queen has been ruling the world for more than a decade. There is never a moment when she doesn't slay. Find out how to slay just like Queen Bey in four easy steps!

1. Beyonce dropped a digital album without warning and the world did in fact stop.

Let's start here! Beyonce dropped an entire album that was titled "Beyonce" and just quietly released it without warning and for some reason because she is a queen the whole world freaked out. Her quiet release gained her more press than ever and it was her first visual album that had a video for each song. It was a concept that most artists had not even bothered to create. It was a concept that earned her millions in less than two weeks of her album dropping on December 12, 2013.

2. GIRL POWER!!

Beyonce is a firm believer in the power of the female. Not only because she is one but because she even came out with a song about females running the world! She pushes for equality between men and women. She also embodies what it means to be the walking definition of a feminist. She doesn't bash men in her fight for equality and she doesn't bash any other group for that matter. It is very clear that she wants everyone to succeed.

3. Lemonade Is Best Served COLD

If you haven't listened to Lemonade then you are not living your best life right now and I am in fact disappointed with you. In Lemonade which is her second visual album (a concept that every recording artist should get behind), Beyonce gets raw and honest about her husband, Jay-Z's infidelity. As someone that went through a bad breakup this album a year after it was released actually saved me more than once.

Even though Queen B never spoke publicly about the matter you could hear the pain in her voice on every single track. The feeling of being crushed, blindsided and heartbroken by the one that you love is all too relatable. She talks about the anger towards her husband and she wonders why she was not good enough for him. The album itself reminds you that even though she is one of the biggest recording artists in the world she is still a human being who feels emotion deeply and it cuts her like a knife. Whatever you do, make sure that you enjoy lemonade while it is cold.

4. SCREAMING CONFIDENCE FROM THE MOUNTAIN TOPS!

Beyonce reminds every female on the planet that it is more than okay, in fact, it is more than acceptable to be the boss. It is an honor to be the queen of your life and she reminds us to never take a backseat when writing the story of your life. As a female, you have to work ten times harder than a man to even be recognized. But in Beyonce's case, as a black female, she had to give her career her all in order to get to where she is today. She has tough skin and an even tougher track record of being successful and no one can strip her of that.

Be the Beyonce of your life and remember to never take a backseat when writing your own version of Lemonade.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way.
