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.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
