5 Greatest Female Empowering Songs To Get You Through Anything

Ladies! Listen up, If you’re going through a break up or dealing with some f*ckboys or just need some female empowerment inspiration well then you have came to the right place. I have some advice for you coming from the greatest ladies of all time. These ladies know how to embrace your inner queen and slay all these men and life for that matter.


1. “On My Own” by the one and only Miley Cyrus


Miley wrote BANGERZ during her break up with Liam, but best believe the girl killed this whole album. On My Own is a great song to empower yourself after a break up. The title is “On My Own” because you don’t need anyone and can do whatever you want without any one else.

Stand Out Lyrics: And I'll do it on my own

I will get it done with the help from no one

I came into this world by myself

So I don't need nobody else

We have just begun

So much to do, so young

Don't be afraid of alone, you'll get it done on your own

2. “Can’t Hold Us Down” By Christina Aguilera ft. Lil Kim


If you haven’t heard this song, honestly please stop reading this and go listen to this song. This song is the most empowering song I’ve heard in my entire life. Every lyric talks about the double standards of women and men and Christina and Lil Kim don’t stop until they get their point across that nobody “can hold us down”.

Stand Out Lyrics: This is for my girls all around the world

Who've come across a man who don't respect your worth

Thinking all women should be seen, not heard

So what do we do girls?

Shout out loud!

Letting them know we're gonna stand our ground

Lift your hands high and wave them proud

Take a deep breath and say it loud

Never can, never will, can't hold us down

3. “No Scrubs” by TLC


This is a MAJOR throwback, but still one of the best songs to listen to when guys who are not worth your time are trying to hit on you. TLC shows us that we will not settle and or stoop down to be with someone who is not up to standards. These R&B queens are true to their word, they don’t want “no scrubs” and neither do I (or you for that matter).

Stand Out Lyrics: I don't want no scrub

A scrub is a guy that can't get no love from me

Hanging out the passenger side

Of his best friend's ride

Trying to holler at me

I don't want no scrub

A scrub is a guy that can't get no love from me

Hanging out the passenger side

Of his best friend's ride

Trying to holler at me

4. “Needed Me” by Rihanna

If you know me, you know I think RiRi is the baddest b*tch in the game. The girl knows how to put a man in his place and show them who wears the plants in the relationship. Needed Me is more than a sexual anthem, but it’s about how the man needed her for everything and hated it because let’s be real, some men just can’t admit that they need us.


Stand Out Lyrics: But, baby, don't get it twisted

You was just another n*gga on the hit list

Tryna fix your inner issues with a bad b*tch

Didn't they tell you that I was a savage?

F*ck your white horse and a carriage

Bet you never could imagine

Never told you, you could have it

Last but definitely not the least because there is definitely one million songs I could’ve chose for this, but the last empowering song you should listen to after a break up or just dealing with some BS is:

5. “Sorry” by QUEEN B

This song is the ultimate F U to an ex. Beyonce had an amazing album with Lemonade, but Sorry has become the ultimate anthems for women who are dealing with a break up. B wasn’t sorry when she made this song and I’m definitely not sorry for telling ALL these boys “BOY BYE” and making sure Becky with the good hair doesn’t come by me or I’m coming out swinging.


Stand Out Lyrics: Middle fingers up

Put them hands high

Wave it in his face

Tell 'em boy bye

Tell 'em boy bye

Boy bye

Middle fingers up

I ain't thinking 'bout you

My last words to you ladies who are dealing with this is listen to these songs, know your worth, go out and tell every boy “bye”.

A Few Thoughts Every College Freshman Has

The transition into adulthood is never easy

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?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
