If you're like me, you've been waiting for a good "girl power" movie. I'm talking the kind where the girl doesn't need to be saved by the boy, where the girl even saves the boy once or twice, where the lady-led cast is hilarious and natural, where there is body positivity instead of fat jokes, and the ladies excel of their own accord without having to put anyone else down.

Check it. I'm about to give you seventeen good reasons why the new Ghostbusters movie is the movie we've been praying for all along.

1. There are four beautiful, badass women. In jumpsuits.

2. Melissa McCarthy is hilarious as always.

3. Kate McKinnon brings it. Hard.

4. This movie is empowering girls everywhere.

5. Leslie Jones is powerful and proud.

6. Did I mention Holtzmann?

7. Beautiful women being naturally beautiful.

8. We're talking jiggling, unflattering angles, funny faces.

9. I mean, Kristen Wiig has a scene where she is visibly sweating. A woman behind me in the theater actually gasped.

10. These women are not here solely to appeal to the male gaze.

11. Seriously, though, Jillian.

12. Women in science.

13. Chris Hemsworth is an adorably clueless wall of meat, if you're into that.

14. This.

15. And this.

16. THIS.

17. Just go watch it, already.

8 Things I Realized After My First Semester In College

Actually, Kylie Jenner, 2018 is the year of realizing things.

The first semester of college is famous for being one of the most difficult transitions of one's young adult life. You're thrown into a completely new area where the majority of the people surrounding you are strangers in an academic environment that's much more challenging then what you've grown accustomed to for the past twelve years. On top of that, you probably share a room with another person (or even multiple people) on the lumpiest "mattress" you've ever slept on.

With this change comes a lot of questions: what do I want to major in? What am I passionate about? Is what I'm passionate about something I'm actually good at? Why does the bathroom smell like cranberry juice and vodka? What is that thing at the bottom of the shower drain?

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.
