Beyoncé has blessed us throughout her multiple decades as performer. We've gotten iconic music videos, legendary pregnancy reveals, pure emotions and so much more. The Houston native will forever be one of my favorite icons, so here's my top 10 favorite Beyoncé moments.

'Dreamgirls'

Dreamgirls has remained one of my favorite movies despite being released when I was 6 years old, 13 years ago. The vocals, the acting, the performance- amazing.


Recommended song: “Listen” by Beyoncé

Singing for the Obamas

For the Obama's inaugural dance in 2009, Beyoncé DELIVERED. She covered 'At Last' originally performed by Etta James, and it was absolutely beautiful.

Recommended song: “At Last” covered by Beyoncé.

Pregnancy reveal via VMAs

Beyoncé revealed she was pregnant with Blue in 2011, at the VMAs. She opens with "I want you to feel the love that's growing inside of me" and ends by popping her blazer open to reveal the precious baby bump.

Recommended song: “Blue” by Beyoncé

'I Was Here' at UN

This performance in 2012 was nothing short of perfection. The vocals were beautiful and made 'I Was Here' one of my favorite songs to this day.

Self-titled album drop

Giphy

In 2013, "you know where you were when that digital drop." I was on my way to school back in 8th grade! Literally how crazy. The iconic self-titled album marked a turning point in Beyoncé's career.

Recommended song: “Superpower” by Beyoncé ft. Frank Ocean

Lemonade

Lemonade was extremely powerful. Beyoncé came back from going off the map and she came back so strong in 2016. Every single song was incredible, and like the previous album, it was a visual one.

Recommended song: “Sandcastles” by Beyoncé

Pregnancy reveal via Instagram

This was another iconic reveal in 2017, no one was expecting it because once again Beyoncé went MIA. The photoshoot was pure beauty, and the photos with the twins was stunning.

Recommended song: “LOVEHAPPY” by Beyoncé and Jay-Z

Coachella/Homecoming

Coachella (2018) was one of Beyoncé's most powerful performances. She was the first black woman to ever headline Coachella and she was not shy about it. She made it HBCU themed and made a documentary from it (2019). I even wrote about it earlier this year!

Recommended song: “Before I Let Go” cover by Beyoncé

OTRII Tour

This one is truly special for me because it was the first time I saw Beyoncé perform live in 2018 and I almost blacked out because I was so overwhelmed. I had amazing seats and of course the Carters always do an amazing job.

Recommended song: “Young Forever” (live) by Jay-Z and Beyoncé

'The Lion King'

Beyoncé was the voice of Nala in the live action version of 'The Lion King' (2019) and as to be expected she did an amazing job. Not only was she a voice actress, but she produced an entire album to be released with the movie.

Recommended song: “Brown Skin Girl” by Beyoncé, Blue Ivy, SAINt JHN, Wizkid

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.

Syllabus Week As Told By Kourtney Kardashian

Feeling Lost During Syllabus Week? You're Not Alone!

Winter break is over, we're all back at our respective colleges, and the first week of classes is underway. This is a little bit how that week tends to go.

The professor starts to go over something more than the syllabus

You get homework assigned on the first day of class

There are multiple group projects on the syllabus

You learn attendance is mandatory and will be taken every class

Professor starts chatting about their personal life and what inspired them to teach this class

Participation is mandatory and you have to play "icebreaker games"

Everybody is going out because its 'syllabus week' but you're laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Now it's time to get back into the REAL swing of things. Second semester is really here and we all have to deal with it.

panera bread

Whether you specialized in ringing people up or preparing the food, if you worked at Panera Bread it holds a special place in your heart. Here are some signs that you worked at Panera in high school.

1. You own so many pairs of khaki pants you don’t even know what to do with them

Definitely the worst part about working at Panera was the uniform and having someone cute come in. Please don’t look at me in my hat.
