How to Survive the Semester According to Beyoncé

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Molloy chapter.

Beyoncé, Queen Béy, Sasha Fierce, The Great One. You know her; you love her- okay, you obsess over her. She’s a goddess and the rest of us… well, you know we’re all stressing out over exams and general stress from the semester. We don’t exactly look #Flawless. The good news is we’ve teamed up with Queen Béy and we’ve got everything you need to not only survive the semester, but to thrive like Beyoncé!

Health and Beauty

Is your hair looking a little dull in the cold air? Get bouncy, bountiful Béy waves in your hair with Perfectly (un)Done Sea Salt Spray & Perfectly (un)Done Wave Creation Sea Foam by TRESemmèThe Perfectly (un)Done Sea Salt Spray has a lightweight formula to give your hair the perfect beachy wave; The Perfectly (un)Done Wave Creation Sea Foam creates soft, natural waves that are never stiff or sticky. It’s only naturally to pair up Beyoncé and TRESemmè

Beyoncé is constantly working: making new musics, being on tour, and looking fabulous in music videos. Do you think she worries about reapplying her make up? No way! Use City Proof 24HR Waterproof Eyeshadow & Eye Primer by New York Color to lock in your color all day and all night. Just like Béy, New York Color embodies the spontaneous and unexpected energy of New York life. Make sure you complete your #OOTD with a gorgeous MZ Wallace Chelsea Tote from MZ Wallace (we’ve got one for a lucky collegiette- keep reading for more info!)

Did you sneeze on the beat and the beat got sicker? Make sure nothing else get sick by keeping a Cold-EEZE Pack on you at all times! The colder months bring on so many sicknesses that can be avoided by popping one of these yummy cough drops in your mouth. Make sure you avoid chapped lips by using Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Swivel Stick for smooth lips!

De-Stress

The best way to de-stress during the cold months is to have a hot drink- Make sure you us Zing Zero Sweetner! Zing Zero Calorie Stevia Sweetener is made with only real ingredients from Mother Nature’s stevia plant. Perfect for adding natural sweetness to coffee, tea, or over fruit!

Friends who eat together, succeed together. Grab your bestie and head to Chipotle with a BOGO entree card (keep reading the article to find out how you can snag one from us!) Chipotle prepares their delicious ingredients simply, using classic cooking techniques, without added sugar, artificial sweeteners, flavors or colors, which makes it a perfect meal to de-stress about school and love what you’re eating!

Are you and your squad super crafty? Are you trying to make a sign Béy will notice at her next concert? Make sure you use Martha Stewart Crafts Glitter Glue & Paint! De-stress by gathering up your girls and making some awesome signs for Her Campus Molloy, MolloyLife, and especially Beyoncé!

Put those béautiful reading glasses on and read something besides a textbook this semester! We recommend We Were Liars and Every Day published by Penguin Random House (we’ve even got samples for you to check out!)

Activism & Philanthropy

Not only is she a talented artist, but Beyoncé is an inspirational and active feminist. A great way to survive your semester is to help others. Here are some great organizations that you can get involved in with Her Campus Molloy!

She’s The First provides scholarships to girls in low-income countries, fostering first-generation graduates and cultivating the next generation of global leaders. Look out for our Tie-Dye Cupcake Sale to help us raise money for this amazing oragnization!

No Ceilings helps empower women globally. While we have seen significant progress in the last 20 years, we are not there yet when it comes to gender equality in the U.S. or around the world. By taking small, meaningful actions that promote full participation in your daily life – like those in the #NoCeilings 30-Day Challenge – you can help yourself, your friends, and your community on the path to full participation.

My Social Canvas is a New York City-based social enterprise fashion brand that involves students and emerging designers in creating apparel collections for a cause.
