Survival Kits 2K15: Destiny’s Child Edition

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

Thanks to our Survival Kits, Her Campus Sacred Heart is surviving fall semester (Destiny’s Child Style).

 

Now that you’re in my life, I’m so much better

I knew life would be bleak without you, so I fought harder

Knew I’d have to stick to Coca Cola without you, now I’m smarter 

Skip out on artificial sweeteners and instead try Zing Zero Calorie Stevia Sweetener, a natural sugar substitute that contains a sweet extract from the stevia plant!

I knew I wouldn’t grow without you, now I’m wiser 

Penguin Random House has us feeling like total book worms! After these quick chapter samplers, we were off to Barnes & Noble to purchase E. Lockhart’s book We Were Liars and David Levithan’s bestseller, Every Day.

 

Knew that I’d look bad without you, now I’m stylin’ 

Long-lasting, waterproof, crease-proof, and vibrant color? What more could a girl need? Thanks to NYC New York Color, SHU students are looking fab all day long.

 

Knew that I’d be helpless without you, but now I’m buyin’

Thanks to Chipotle, we’re eating our favorite non-GMO meals for half the cost! 

 

I knew that I’d be stressed without you, now I’m chillin’ 

5-Hour Energy sent us headphones, the perfect accessory for a day spent in the library! 

 

I knew I’d fall flat without you, now I’m flawless 

Beach waves in the middle of October? It may be less than fifty degrees outside, but TRESemmé has got us looking as if we just stepped out of the salt water. Needless to say, we couldn’t be more obsessed with The Perfectly (un)Done Sea Salt Spray and The Perfectly (un)Done Wave Creation Sea Foam (which is infused with sea kelp extract!). 

 

I’m a survivor (what?)

I’m not gon’ give up (what?)

I’m not gon’ stop (what?)

I’m gon’ work harder (what?)

I’m a survivor (what?)

I’m gonna make it (what?)

I will survive (what?)

Keep on survivin’ (what?)

(x2)

 

I couldn’t breathe without you, now I’m inhaling 

Bye-bye to the annoying cough that has kept us every single night since the start of midterms. Cold-Eeze multi-symptom relief is truly a lifesaver.

 

My outfit was incomplete without you, now I have an MZ Wallace Edition 

Any college girl needs this MZ Wallace Chelsea Tote. Not only is it stylish, but it’s also efficient in the sense that it works with our dynamic lifestyles! 

 

I couldn’t last without you, but now I’m lastin’ 

We definitely needed this to get us through midterms. Between the headphones and the energy drink, it’s almost like 5-Hour Energy knew we were in need of saving…

I would have died without you, now I’m livin’ 

These thirty-degree mornings have definitely called for some intense moisture! Suffering from chapped lips? Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Moisturizer will be your new best friend.

Knew I would fail without you, now I’m on top (of my craft game)

Martha Stewart Acrylic Craft Paint came just in time for Halloween! We’ll definitely be using our coupons to buy more before the big night!

 

Thought it would be over by now, but my pennant’s wavin’ 

Proud to be a part of the Her Campus Community. #Survivors 

Knew I would self-destruct, lucky I’m still here

Even in my years to come, I’m still gon’ be here

 

I’m a survivor (what?)

I’m not gon’ give up (what?)

I’m not gon’ stop (what?)

I’m gon’ work harder (what?)

I’m a survivor (what?)

I’m gonna make it (what?)

I will survive (what?)

Keep on survivin’ (what?)

Wishing you the best

Pray that you are blessed

Bring much success, no stress, and lots of happiness

(Love my Survival Kit)

I’m not gon’ blast you on the radio

(Love my Survival Kit)

I’m not gon’ lie, you saved my life

(Love my Survival Kit)

I’m not gon’ hate on you in the magazines

(Love my Survival Kit)

I’m not gon’ compromise my Christianity

(Love my Survival Kit)

You know I’m not gon’ diss you on the internet

‘Cause my mama taught me better than that

 

I’m a survivor (what?)

I’m not gon’ give up (what?)

I’m not gon’ stop (what?)

I’m gon’ work harder (what?)

I’m a survivor (what?)

I’m gonna make it (what?)

I will survive (what?)

Keep on survivin'(what?)

(x2)

 

Oh (oh)

Oh (oh)

Oh (oh)

Oh (oh)

Oh (oh)

Oh (oh)

Oh (oh)

Oh (oh)

 

After of all of the darkness and sadness

Soon comes happiness

If I surround myself with positive things

Like She’s The First Fundraisers, My Social Canvas Designers, and The No-Ceilings 30-Day Challenge

I’ll gain prosperity

 

 

I’m a survivor (what?)

I’m not gon’ give up (what?)

I’m not gon’ stop (what?)

I’m gon’ work harder (what?)

I’m a survivor (what?)

I’m gonna make it (what?)

I will survive (what?)

Keep on survivin’ (what?)

These survival kits brought out our inner Beyoncé. #Survivors
