ATTENTION: ALL HAIL THE QUEEN BEY, FOREVER MAY SHE REIGN!

Many celebrities have taken action to donate to the recent effects of Hurricane Harvey in the southern Texas areas, specifically Houston. The challenge was created by Kevin Hart to encourage A-list celebs, as well as anyone else who can, to donate to the cause. Many celebrities accepted the challenge by donating hundreds of thousands of dollars, but there was one A-list celeb that everyone was waiting to hear from...BEYONCÉ!

The Houston native and pop music sensation has been known for her tremendous humanitarian efforts, which is why the world was awaiting her response to the recent flooding in her hometown. The wait is now over.

Queen Bey's philanthropic initiative, BeyGOOD, released a statement on Monday, August 28 stating that Beyoncé will "help as many as she can," in the Houston area. As an individual, Beyoncé has pledged to do whatever it takes in order to ensure the well being of those impacted by the historic flooding in her hometown.

It did not come as a shock that Beyoncé would take a stand for her hometown, for she has done it countless times before. Beyoncé and BeyGOOD not only help her hometown, but cities and countries around the world suffering from catastrophic events. For instance, BeyGOOD has raised over $80,000 for relief efforts regarding the water crisis in Flint, Michigan. Also, Beyoncé recently donated $7,000,000 to the housing of homeless people residing in her hometown of Houston, Texas. YAS QUEEN!

The question was not if she would help, but more so how she will provide assistance to the city. Beyonce released a statement to The Houston Chronicle stating, "My heart goes out to my hometown, Houston, and I remain in constant prayer for those affected and for the rescuers who have been so brave and determined to do so much to help ... I am working closely with my team at BeyGOOD as well as my pastor [Rudy Rasmus at St. John’s in downtown Houston] to implement a plan to help as many as we can.” We know that, with these plans in the works, we can expect to see millions pour into the city of Houston with Beyonce's help. Proving that, once again, she is Queen.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
