As the self-proclaimed HerCampus Beyoncé correspondent (Caroline? Ellie? Get back to me on that), I find it necessary to recognize all that is glorious about Queen B in anticipation of Friday night’s all-campus celebration of her wonder. At the fierce age of 30-years-old, Beyoncé has not only made a name for herself as queen of the music industry and one of the most loved female performers ever, but she has also established an entire entertainment empire under her legendary name. The following list is an homage to all things B has accomplished outside her unparalleled recording career.
 
Best Fragrance: Heat by Beyoncé
Given that I have not smelled Beyoncé’s other two fragrances (or as she refers to them, parfums: http://www.beyonceparfums.com/), Pulse and Heat Rush, I kind of just feel like Heat is the obvious choice. Why? Because the commercial she filmed for it got BANNED from daytime TV in Europe. The Advertising Standards Authority issued this statement in response to her sizzling performance: “Beyoncé's body movements and the camera's prolonged focus on shots of her dress slipping away to partially expose her breasts created a sexually provocative ad that was unsuitable to be seen by young children. We considered that the ad should not have been shown before 7.30pm due to the sexually provocative nature of the imagery.” If I wasn’t going to buy it before this happened (yeah right), you can bet your ass that I and countless other women who secretly wish they were Beyoncé bought this the first chance they could get; catching the fever, indeed, Miss B. See for yourself:

Among the colorful assortment of lost water bottles and long forgotten notebooks and sweatshirts that have become typical of the Olin-Chalmers Library lost & found box are hidden gems that provide a glimpse into the psyche of the Kenyon College student. At other schools in this great nation of ours, to see an abandoned computer or backpack in the library sends up red flags immediately: that person’s stuff is about to get stolen. At Kenyon, not so much. We pride ourselves on being a trusting and honest campus and are secure enough in our surroundings to leave our MacBooks in the library unattended for hours on end – mostly because 99% of the campus also has a MacBook. As current employees of library here at Kenyon, we’d like to share a few of our all-time favorite finds among the stacks and behind the desk.
