Of all the wonderful role models the '90s gave us (e.g., Daria, Sabrina, Topanga, etc.) Buffy Summers is one of the most inspirational. Over seven seasons of Joss Whedon's "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," she handled classes, friends, boy drama, taking care of her sister and, oh yeah -- saving the world from unspeakable evil on a regular basis.

"Buffy" as a show was revolutionary for the way it combined traditional supernatural tropes with intense, real-world issues. People don't watch "Buffy" just to see a small blonde girl kicking vampire butt; they watch for the lovable, multi-dimensional characters and their powerful relationships to each other.

Buffy Summers was not perfect. She got sad, angry, depressed and often thought about abandoning her Slayer title and withdrawing from the world. But in the end Buffy is a role model because she kept trying. She never gave up fighting for what mattered. Even after losing her first love, being betrayed by her best friends and kicked out of her home, Buffy still worked to protect the people she cared about. She never lost hope or her impressive punning skills.

If you ever feel overwhelmed, like you don't have the strength to even make it through the day, look to Buffy Summers to remind you that all you really need is yourself.

1. "The hardest thing in this world is to live in it. Be brave. Live."

2. "Strong is fighting! It's hard, and it's painful, and it's every day."

3. "Seize the moment, because tomorrow you might be dead."

4. "I may be dead... but I'm still pretty."


5. "I don't need a guy right now. I need me."

6. "No guy is worth your life, not ever!"

7. "No weapons, no friends, no hope. Take all that away and what's left? Me."

8. "Human rules don't apply. There's only me. I am the law."

9. "I don't want to protect you from the world. I want to show it to you."

10. "I'm the thing that monsters have nightmares about."

11. "If the apocalypse comes, beep me."

Even if your school's not on a Hellmouth, college can still get tough sometimes. So when you're feeling like you can't handle all those end-of-the year projects, presentations and exams, take some tips out of the Slayer Handbook and think to yourself, "What would Buffy do?"

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.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"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 have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. 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?
