1.Viola Davis' comment when asked what she wanted to say to young girl's all over the globe in a Buzz Feed interview: "To not live someone else's life and someone else's idea of what womanhood is. Womanhood is you. Womanhood is everything that's inside of you."

2.Emma Watson stated, “I want to be the person who feels great in her body and can say that loves it and doesn't want to change anything."

3.Beyoncé wanted all girls to know, “I don't have to prove anything to anyone. I only have to follow my heart and concentrate on what I want to say to the world. I run my world."

4.“I believe I've always been a big believer in equality. No one has ever been able to tell me I couldn't do something because I was a girl," said Anne Hathaway in an interview.

5.Emma Stone came out and said, “I can't think of any better representation of beauty than someone who is unafraid to be herself."

6.“We need to reshape our own perception of how we view ourselves. We have to step up as women and take the lead." – Beyoncé Knowles

7.“Figure out who you are separate from your family, and the man or woman you're in a relationship with. Find who you are in this world and what you need to feel good alone. I think that's the most important thing in life. Find a sense of self because with that, you can do anything else." – Angelina Jolie

8. J-Law once again came out to advocate for women. I just think it should be illegal to call somebody fat on TV.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
