15 Times Betty Draper Was Totally Fierce

If you binge-watched Mad Men on Netflix like I did, you probably developed an unhealthy obsession with all things Betty Draper. Her perfect hair, classy style, sexy husband (let’s not forget sexy husband number two) and overall boss-beotch attitude most likely made you want to bow down to her as the queen of all housewives. Here’s a few times she really deserved it…

1. That time she drank this tequila after spotting her ex on a date.

We’ve all had that moment when we saw our ex at the bar and immediately felt the need to down a shot. If only we could do it with as much class as Betty…


2. When she shot this gun.


I personally feel every girl should know how to shoot a gun, and of course look fabulous while doing it. Unfortunately, we will never be able to pull it off quite like Betty did.


3. When she ate this ice cream and gave zero cares.



Ever eaten a pint of ice cream and immediately felt guilty? Betty Draper hasn’t. She does what she wants and looks good doing it. Who cares if she gained a little weight for a while there? Not her.


4. The time she told her daughter this.



“You don’t kiss boys. Boys kiss you.” Yep, you heard the queen. If there’s anything society has been lacking lately it is boys with the courage to actually pursue a woman the way they are supposed to. Ladies, we don’t kiss boys. They kiss us.


5. When she went to Europe and looked like this.



Perfection. If you had any doubts that Betty Draper is the fiercest woman on the planet, they should be gone now. Move over, Beyonce.


6. When she found out her husband cheated and wore this dress for two days.



Only Betty could pull this “my gorgeous husband cheated and I’m totally depressed” look off. If only we could look half this good during a breakup. Rock those polka dots, girl.


7. The time she struck this sassy pose.



I mean really, who else can use a cigarette as such an effective prop? Betty is the embodiment of the term “sassy and classy.” And she has the perfectly pursed lips to prove it.


8. Every single time she made this face.



This is the definition of “slay.” No one has mastered this look like her, and no one ever will. Forever wishing I could pierce someone’s heart with my eyes like you, Betty.

Not to mention, eyebrows on fleek.

9. That time she rolled her eyes and blew smoke at Don.



I’m sorry, when’s the last time YOU looked this good while blowing smoke out of your mouth? Oh, never? That’s what I thought. Props to the ultimate matriarch.


10. Every time she smiled like this.



Proof she’s an angel? I think so. Betty can get anything she wants with that face and we all aspire to accomplish this feat.


11. When she rocked this lingerie.



Bow down to the original smoke show. If her husband cheated on her, where is the hope for the rest of us?

Just, bye.

12. When her ex husband accidentally hit on her at a gas station.



All I have to say is…Take that, Don.


13. Pretty much anytime she rocked some 60s sunnies.


I envy her ability to flawlessly pull off sunglasses that would make most people look like an alien.


14. And of course, when she slapped her neighbor in the supermarket.



Betty single-handedly made the “slap and glare” a thing as big as the “bend and snap.”


15. Last but not least, when she pranced around in this bikini.


BRB going to the gym.

There you have it. 15 of the times Betty made us drop to the floor and bow down in honor of her perfection. She’s the ultimate boss of a housewife. Now,

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
