10 Amazing Songs For And About Queer Women

The Daily Dot

Even with its recent uptick in LGBT+ representation, modern media is still inundated with heteronormativity, so here's an oasis of gay girl love in the sea of straight.

1. Girls Like Girls by Hayley Kiyoko

"Girls like girls like boys do."

Not only is the song beautiful and full of sapphic goodness, the music video is raw and touching.

2. Cool for the Summer by Demi Lovato

"Don't be scared 'cause I'm your body type."

While more about experimentation, it's still a jam.

3. She Keeps Me Warm by Mary Lambert

"And I can’t change, even if I tried
Even if I wanted to."

Expanded from her verse in Macklemore and Ryan Lewis's 'Same Love,' this song is gorgeous and strikes so true.

4. Jenny by Studio Killers

"I wanna ruin our friendship
We should be lovers instead."

A cute electropop number about falling in love with your best friend.

5. Closer by Tegan and Sara

"So let's make things physical
I won't treat you like you're oh so typical."

To be fair, every Tegan and Sara song is hecka gay.

6. Love You Anyway by Ji Nilsson & Marlene

"Whatever you say when you shut me out
I'm gonna love you anyway."

A lovely song about enduring love despite difficulties.

7. Girls by Beatrice Eli

"I've got the girls on my mind
All the time."

A girl talks about how much she likes girls.

8. What's It Gonna Be by Shura

"I don't wanna give you up
I don't wanna let you love somebody else but me."

A great song with a music video about an adorable high schoollove story with all of the gay feelings.

9. I Don't Do Boys by Elecktra

"I don't do boys, I just do girls."

Both the song and video are aggressively gay. You're welcome.

10. Girlfriend by Icona Pop

"All I need in this life of sin is me and my girlfriend ."

A celebration of being pals with a gal.

Honorable Mention: Ghost by Halsey

While the song is about a guy, Halsey's video is definitely, enchantingly gay.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead.

You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.

Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs.
