There is nothing better than having a circle of boss friends. Girls these days are always competing with one another instead helping each other boss up. Girls don't realize that what's meant for you will always be for you. It's time to start sticking together. Stop comparing yourselves to one another. Stop feeling intimidated and start feeling inspired. There are many things that help with keeping a circle of boss friends, and a few of them are listed below.

Support

Supporting one another is very important in having a strong friendship. Whatever your hustle is or your friend's hustle is, it should be supported. You should help as much as you can. I never truly understood how someone can be a friend to someone, and not want to see them succeed. The feeling should be mutual. Supporting can be something as simple as showing up to their events, promoting their hustle on social media, telling others about it. Something so little can really help.

Constructive Criticism

Constructive criticism comes along with supporting your friend. Every friend needs an honest one. Your friend is never going to reach her highest potential if you hold her hand throughout the process. Also, when giving constructive criticism you have to be cautious of what you say. Sometimes your constructive criticism is not needed. There should be a balance of criticism and compliments. Same goes for you, you don't want a friend who only tells you what you want to hear. You also don't want a friend who just wants to critique every aspect of your life.

Motivation

Sometimes your friend may lack confidence in what their pursuing. To maintain a friendship as female bosses you have to push them to keep going. Sometimes motivation from a close friend is what we need to get back on track. If you don't do this for your friend, then they won't realize how much of a boss they truly are. If you're not motivating your friend then you're not helping. Same goes for your friend, if they're not motivating you then maybe they don't want to see you succeed.

Network

Network. Network. Network. In my Dj Khaled voice, I shall say this is the key to success. If you know someone who is interested in the same areas that your friend is, introduce them. This should be vice versa. Your friend should do the exact same thing for you. Networking will help your hustle expand to others.

Having a circle full of boss friends requires a lot work. At the end of the day all of you are bettering yourselves. Support goes both ways. If you see a girl doing her thing, don't be too stuck up to let her know. Let's all be female bosses together.

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.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. 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.
