Queen B,

You probably get so many letters thanking you for being you, telling you to never stop slaying, or how you and your man are "the couple". I however, want to thank you for many other reasons. While I have found myself in a weird mood lately, I have been listening to your music on replay. It has not only inspired me to be a better version of myself, but has helped me to gain the confidence I have found myself lacking.

After enjoying your outstanding music, I decided to research you a little more and become more astonished with your thoughts on things. I found one of your quotes, and it truly touched me. You stated: “Your self-worth is determined by you. You don’t have to depend on someone telling you who you are.” This spoke to me on many different levels. I have always felt I needed others acceptance in order to feel important, or that I meant anything. After reading this, I have found myself not worrying so much about what those around me think of my choices and lifestyle.

While your outlook on self worth helped me gain my confidence back, I found myself still slightly negative as I looked at my life on paper. I went on, and came across another quote, in which you stated "When I’m not feeling my best I ask myself, ‘What are you gonna do about it?’ I use the negativity to fuel the transformation into a better me.” It got me to think about what I had to do in order to build my spirits up, and look at everything from a better perspective.

I feel now as though I think to myself "what would Beyonce do?" From that question I attempt to do the best for myself, and those around me. I try to not let little things bring my confidence down, I try to not allow negative energy ruin my outlook, and most importantly, I am striving to be a better me.

So thank you Beyonce, Thank you for helping me slay each day, and stay focused on what is truely important in life, rather than the little things out of my control. Thank you for showing me the right direction and actions that I should be taking in order to better my life and those around me.

Stay groovy,

A college student who needed guidance.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

St. Thomas Aquinas College

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:

For some of us, coming to college was the first time we ever had to share a room. It was a big change, but a fun one. As you meet more and more people over the course of your college career, it seems to be a pattern that you will at some point have that one friend that doesn't live with you, but acts like they do. We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.
