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.

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

Yes, the math major is doing a math-related post. What are the odds? I'll have to calculate it later. Many people have probably learned about the Fibonacci sequence in their high school math classes. However, I thought I would just refresh everyone's memories and show how math can be beautiful and apply to physical things everywhere around us with stunning examples.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.
