Beyonce is a celebrity, but she's much more than that. She's fierce, she's confident, and she's bold: she's a role model. Here's why Beyonce understands every college girl on a personal level.

She Understands How Important Confidence Is

Beyonce exudes confidence. She knows she's beautiful, she knows she's *flawless*, and she doesn't need to prove herself to anyone. She inspires girls to speak their minds and walk with confidence.

She Knows it's Difficult to be Held to a High Standard

Queen Bey might be a queen, but she's still human. Most girls know what it's like to be held to a ridiculously high standard. It's hard feeling like you have to be perfect, beautiful, smart, and talented. She understands this pressure too, and asks that people don't judge her for her decisions. We've all been there.

She Stands Up for What She Believes In

Beyonce is always standing up for the causes she believes in. She is passionate about her beliefs and people look up to her because of that. One example is her performance of "I Was Here" at the United Nations for World Humanitarian Day. She shows women everywhere that passions, like music, can change the world.

She Knows that Pretty Hurts...

Hours spent on the treadmill, endless calorie counting, a few more skipped meals to fit into that dress. Beyonce knows that pretty hurts, and doesn't cover up what goes on in the industries she's worked in to perpetuate the unrealistic stereotypes placed on women.

And She's Striving to Realize that Happiness Matters Most, Just LIke You

Beyonce knows the importance of positivity. She understands every girl's struggle to be beautiful and successful, but helps us realize that in the end, our happiness and mental health come first.

She is a Proud Feminist

Not only is Beyonce a self-proclaimed feminist, but she knows what it means too! She teaches girls to love and embrace their femininity while also going after the things they are passionate about.
