5 Things Every Strong Woman Knows How To Do

You’re an incredibly strong, intelligent, badass woman—but you’re still human. While it is tempting to think having all these qualities makes you bullet proof 24/7, that’s extremely silly. It just means you know how to do these 5 things:

1. Bounce back from crappy situations.

Life sucks sometimes, but what stands between the weak and the strong is how you deal with it. You’re definitely pretty badass if you can accept that shit happens, learn from it, and move on knowing that bigger and better things lie ahead.

2. Accept rejection.

You know not everyone will want to be with you or hire you. Whatever the case may be. You’re OK with that. You know life is game and that no matter what happens, you will end up where you’re meant to be.

3. Take action instead of just talking.

It is literally the worst when someone moans and groans about a situation but never does anything to change it. You wouldn’t even consider that. Ever. You mean what you say. If you set a goal, you know how reach it and you will. No matter how long it takes or amount of effort needed.

4. Get out of bad situations.

Crappy jobs, emotionally drained friendships and relationships—You don’t care what it is, if it messes with you in a negative way too long, you’re out the door fast without a second thought.

5. Accept your mistakes.

Sometimes people make mistakes or choose the wrong thing/person. It is admitting you're wrong and fixing it that make for a pretty badass women. Knowing you’re not perfect and that you in fact do not know everything (even though you think you do) is a tricky balance, but you got it down.

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.
