I don't know about you, but Thanksgiving break is a Godsend for a college kid like me. It is the perfect time to rejuvenate so you can go back and kick finals where the sun doesn't shine. These are the five basic activities that are on my to-do list.

1. Sleep. A lot. 

The rumors were true. College truly is the most exhausting, stressful, yet fun time all mixed together. Do your body a favor and get some much-needed rest.

2. Hug your dog

This is the most important thing, honestly. I totally understand the whole emotional support animal movement because that little fur ball brings me so much joy and you just need to get one so you can relate and we can be annoying together.

3. Eat so much

hey girl, you deserve it. We have worked hard this semester so treat yourself and eat that pie, or seven. Bikini body season isn't for a while so we have time to get back on that grind, don't you worry.

4. Answer annoying questions

Yes, unfortunately, it's that season where family gatherings obviously take place and you are going to be asked a million questions about school, your relationship status, and your 10-year-plan after graduation. Try to keep a positive attitude and use this opportunity to catch up with family. So yes Grandma, I am still single!! But also I missed you a lot, homegirl.

5. Be thankful

Well of course I'm gonna be cliché and tell you guys to remember what this holiday is all about and to be thankful to the big man upstairs for the people around you and the quality time spent. So, go do all of these things because I said so! Have a great Thanksgiving and eat lots of turkey!

On the Upper East Side, Blair Waldorf is an icon. She's what every girl aspires to be. She's beautiful, confident, and can handle any obstacle that life throws at her. Sure, she may just be a television character. But for me, she's a role model and theres a lot that can be learned from Queen B.

The Perks of Being a Girl

“I just want you to know that you’re very special… and the only reason I’m telling you is that I don’t know if anyone else ever has.”

As frustrating and annoying as it can be, being a girl is really awesome. We are beautiful inside and out. Not a lot of people may see that, but girls have a ton of amazing qualities.

We have unique flirting skills.

Us girls have a significant way to flirt with other people. Even when we say the most random or awkward things, we have a way of making everything sound cute and planned. It’s just a gift; we’re good like that.

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:
