2017 Needs More Sadie Robertsons

In a world filled with celebrities who make their fortune from sex and scandals, it is rare to find a respectable role-model for today's young women. However, there is one young woman who has grown to be a great role model for girls today and her name is Sadie Robertson. Sadie is a 19-year old girl born in West Monroe, Louisiana. She starred in the hit television show “Duck Dynasty” and she is the author of “Live Original,” a book about faith and Christian values. In today’s world, we could use a lot more role-models such as Sadie Robertson and here’s why:

She puts God first.

Sadie was raised in a Christian family and is full-heartily devoted to God. Most celebrities tend to steer clear from the topic of religion, unlike Sadie who is not afraid to let everyone know about her Christian beliefs. Sadie has devoted her life to God and just recently finished her 2016 tour that was devoted to the motivation and inspiration of others.

She is original (hence the name of her book).

Sadie is less worried about her physical appearance and is more worried about empowering young women through Christian values. She doesn’t pile on pounds of makeup or wear skimpy clothes to get attention. Instead, she focuses on what is important in life, such as her religion, family and friends.

She is family-oriented.

If you have ever watched the show “Duck Dynasty,” then you understand that Sadie comes from a tight-knit family. Despite the fame from the TV show, the Robertsons have remained close and have used their fame for the better. They devote their time to helping others and sharing their Christian values with people around the country.

She is independent.

When Sadie and her boyfriend, Blake Coward, broke up, Sadie released a YouTube video about it. Instead of bashing her ex-boyfriend, she took the breakup as an opportunity to help and pray for others. In the video, Robertson says "Break ups are just a part of life. They just are. It's sad, it really is but God has someone good for you, keep that in mind." Later in the video, she continues to pray for anyone with a broken heart. Therefore, it is apparent that Robertson doesn’t need to rely on a boy to be positive and successful.

She is respectable and modest.

Sadie is known for her Christian beliefs, unlike celebrities such as Kim Kardashian who gained fame from a viral sex tape. Unlike most celebrities of today, Robertson does not feel the need to wear a ton of makeup and show too much skin to get attention. Sadie is still a pretty girl without makeup and tight clothes. This is apparent in Sadie’s clothing lines with Rue 21 and Sherri Hill, where her designs are elegant and modest.

So, whether you agree with all of Sadie’s Christian beliefs or not, you can learn a thing or two from her confidence to be unique and original. The young women of this world need a role-model who is authentic, unique and respectable. In my opinion, Sadie Robertson is the perfect girl for that job.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
