We know how to fight back.
While maybe not literally, that is Guy Territory. However, when it comes to dealing with drama and other people, we learn, and eventually know, how to deal with other people’s issues with us. We also do a lot more payback.
We pick pretty great friends.
Some girls may have a lot of friends in general, but for the most part, we know how to pick and keep the friends that are the most special. Through experience (of course) we learn how to see people and keep the ones who will stay by our side. Go us!
We have a pretty great fashion sense.
Yes, there are many times when we just want to lay around wearing sweats and not care if we match or not. But when we go out, we are really good at picking out outfits and rocking everything we wear. We know how to clean up pretty well, if I say so myself.
We each have one heck of an imagination.
Whether it is thinking about a boy or our future careers, we girls can think of some pretty vivid scenarios, even though we know deep down they may never come true. But the beautiful thing is we never stop dreaming. Even if we think of something that is impossible, we still dream it, because it makes us feel better. What we imagine can maybe even affect how others think, and who knows? Maybe in the end we do get the prince we’ve been dreaming about.
Never be ashamed of being a girl, because we are truly amazing people. No one should tell us that we are not good enough or are not capable of doing something. We are special and unique. We know how to make someone smile and make someone's day. We go through a lot, but we learn. We have the power to do anything, and no one should try and tell us otherwise. And hey, girls just want to have fun, right?
1. The looks you get from people as you enter the library with your sweatpants on, hair tied back, looking like a homeless person.
2. As soon as you find a place to sit down to do work, and you realize that you'll never see your bed again (or until your work is done, so basically never).
3. Wait, that's due tomorrow?
4. Ugh, why do I need to know if John buys Becky a car, how many apples will it take to fill the bowl in his kitchen?
Which by the way – is 1034 square feet.
5. When you're clearly stressing, but five strangers pop up out of nowhere and try to squeeze into the 3 inches of space next to you.
6. When the accidental eavesdropping begins, and you hear something juicy.
7. When you're trying real hard to concentrate, but they keep on talking about how Matt is hooking up with Rachel now instead of Lindsey.
8. Alright, maybe I'll just give up and drop out of college.
9. But then you suddenly become motivated once again.
10. Motivation.
11. You get back from getting coffee and find that someone stole your spot.
12. The cycle begins again, and you think it's time to give up on college because this is way too much work.
13. But your squad finally decides to show up.
14. However, they leave ten minutes later because they don't want to be here, but you beg them to stay.
15. Hmm, I'll just go on SnapChat real quick...45 minutes later after checking all of your apps and answering in the group chat you feel ready to work, and also feel bad about almost giving up.
16. Oh look another online quiz I forgot was due tomorrow.
17. Luckily all of the quiz answers end up being online.
18. When the library is supposed to have Wi-Fi all the time, yet it is currently down and you're feeling some type of way because of it.
19. You zone out and think about how you could be watching Netflix in bed right now.
20. How you feel after spending hours of doing work that you probably should have done two weeks ago.
21. FEELING LIKE CHUCK AND BLAIR WHEN YOU'RE FINALLY DONE AND GET TO GO HOME.
We Heart It
1. Leslie Knope from "Parks and Recreation"
As the sole source of positive energy in Pawnee, Indiana, Leslie Knope is everyone's favorite boss lady. She works harder than anyone else in her small town, demands the respect of her fellow bureaucrats, and genuinely loves her job. When she's not eating waffles at JJ's Diner or scrapbooking with BFF Ann Perkins, Leslie is out making sure that the Pawnee parks are safe and raccoon-free, like a true female warrior.
2. Liz Lemon from "30 Rock"
Who else can balance being a head comedy writer for a television show, stress-eating, and acting on their love of "Star Wars"? Without Liz directing her team of staff writers, along with her humorous outlook on the world, "30 Rock" would simply fall apart. As a character, Liz gives us a realistic look on life in New York City, working in one of the city's most famous buildings.
3. Meredith Grey from "Grey's Anatomy"
We cannot talk about powerful, inspirational TV women without citing Dr. Grey. Her ability to see things from not only the doctor's perspective, but the patient's perspective, is truly what sets her apart from any other doctor. Her compassion as a medical professional not only makes her a successful doctor, but a friend to viewers. Kudos, Dr. Grey.
4. Olivia Pope from "Scandal"
Always on the move, Olivia Pope uses her talent as an expert crisis manager to protect her clients from whatever or whoever may be after them. The trust that Olivia has gained from those around her by doing her job and doing it well has made her virtually invincible. Bravo, Ms. Pope.
5. Blair Waldorf from "Gossip Girl"
As the best manipulator on the Upper East Side, Queen B definitely makes this list. Even though her intentions aren't always so innocent, Blair truly embodies power. From single-handedly shipping Georgina Sparks off to Bible camp, getting revenge on her numerous enemies, and sometimes even making things right again, Blair is the ambitious lady of the pack. And for that, she rules.
6. Carrie Bradshaw from "Sex and The City"
When you hear the phrase, "female writer," Carrie Bradshaw is most likely who comes to mind. Whether it be for the New York Star or Vogue, Carrie's desire to pour the details of her life onto printed page is unyielding. With her determination to be successful at what she does, as well as her three best friends by her side, Carrie is an inspiration to us all.
7. Annalise Keating from "How to Get Away With Murder"
When it comes to justice being served, Annalise Keating is your girl. As a high-powered criminal lawyer (and extremely harsh professor), Annalise's main goal in life is simple: don't lose. Even in the bleakest of situations, Annalise always puts her advisors, her Keating 5, and her clients before herself. With her combination of knowledge, wits, and a style that we'd all kill for, Annalise actually slays.
8. Mindy Lahiri from "The Mindy Project"
Do you ever see those people that just seem to have everything in their lives put together? That's not Mindy. However, Mindy is smart, successful, quirky, and determined to live out her dream life. Real as can be, Mindy is a character that is not only relatable to the everyday woman, but shows that life is better with a lot of humor.
9. Lisa Cuddy from "House, M.D."
Being the Dean of Medicine in the world of Dr. Greg House must be a tough job, but someone's got to do it. Enter Dr. Lisa Cuddy. With her quick-witted responses and no-nonsense attitude, Cuddy is the glue that keeps her hospital together. Even when she's stressed, overwhelmed, and lets House win in their frequent power struggles over patients, Cuddy still maintains control over everything and everyone at Princeton-Plainsboro, Dr. Cuddy, we commend you.
10. The "Friends" Girls (Monica Geller, Rachel Greene, and Phoebe Buffay) from "Friends"
Though we saw them (try to) tackle many different careers, our three favorite New York City ladies have proven that no matter what you do, being happy is always key. By following their passions, Monica becomes a chef, Rachel moves up to an executive fashion position at Ralph Lauren, and Phoebe keeps her open-mic act at Central Perk (who could forget when she struck gold with "Smelly Cat"?). Overall, these ladies rule because they've stuck to what they love and supported each other along the way.
11. Temperance Brennan from "Bones"
Solving crimes and keeping her lab in tip-top shape are just a couple of the tasks that Dr. Brennan has on her plate. With her genius intelligence level and problem-solving smarts, Dr. Brennan is the instrumental piece in making sure that Washington D.C.'s most high-profile murder cases get cracked. Smart ladies for the win.
12. Kate Beckett from "Castle"
One of the things that makes Detective Beckett so awesome and worthy of ruling-ness is the fact that her partner Castle found her so bad-ass that he modeled his "Nicky Heat" crime-fighter after her! Beckett makes sure her team gets down to the bottom of every case that crosses her path (even going back to the case of her mother's mysterious death). All in all, she's not your average television cop.
13. Jane Rizzoli and Maura Isles from "Rizzoli and Isles"
With Jane in the police headquarters and Maura in the lab, these two best friends keep Boston safe. Whether they are taking down mob bosses, finding murders, or even dealing with their own hectic lives, the duo prove that women can, indeed, rule. What happens when hard-headed, rough Detective Rizzoli teams up with prim-and-proper, intellectual Dr. Isles? Double the girl power.
14. Olivia Benson from "Law and Order: SVU"
You know her, you love her. Lieutenant Benson is every criminal's worst nightmare. She's dedicated, relentless, and doesn't rest until her cases are solved. She ensures that the victims that she encounters have their voices heard and makes sure that their attackers are brought to justice.
15. Robin Scherbatsky from "How I Met Your Mother"
Ah, Robin. Our favorite newscaster and the Canadian 1/5 of one of the most well-known friend groups in television history. Robin's originality and free-spiritedness are what makes her so iconic as a female character. She isn't afraid to go out and get what she wants in life, proven by the fact that she left Canada to become a serious journalist. That takes guts.
