6 Relevant Issues For College Girls Addressed By 'The Bold Type'
Free From Go

If you haven't seen The Bold Type yet, go watch it now!

(You can binge watch it on the Freeform website.) It's an amazing new funny and relatable show that focuses on 3 girl friends that work together at a magazine, based on Cosmo - who doesn't love Cosmo?!

Their boss is none other than Jan Levinson! Okay, so she's not actually Jan, she's Jacqueline, who's way more of a likeable character, but still. Read on to find out why this show is a must-see.

1. Common fears

Kat accidentally tweeted something mean when she meant to text it to her friends to vent, and Sutton got caught in a lie by her boss.

2. Culture

The scene where a middle aged white guy harasses Adena on the street telling her to speak English, go back to her own country, and calls her a towel-head.

3. Sexuality

Jane has never been very active, Sutton was unsure of what their relationship really is, and Kat for the first time dated a woman. The season finale also deals with sexual assault, and one of the main characters reveals that they were a victim.

4. Dreams

Sutton turns down a high-paying job for a demotion in salary to work in fashion, while Kat continues to get promoted but isn't sure what her dream really is.

5. Friendship goals

Never have I seen on TV three girls be so supportive of each other. They fight, but make up quickly and never resent each other. They would literally do anything for each other, as made clear by the Yoni ball scene.

6. A great boss

Jacqueline pushes her employees to push boundaries and be real, and is so supportive. Anybody would love to have a boss like her.

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. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
