6 Reasons Why Beyonce Is A Relatable Role Model

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.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
