The Alpha Girl

What is an Alpha Girl or an Alpha Female? Longman's dictionary of Contemporary English defines Alpha Female as ," A teenage girl who is the most important and powerful member of a group of girls who regularly spend time together. Alpha girls are typically confident, attractive, and determined to be successful". This is a perfect description of my friend, Carolyn!

I have known Carolyn, who I fondly call "King Tut", for a long time. We were classmates in kindergarten at Wilson School, elementary, middle and high school at West Allegheny School District.



You would think we spent so much time together, but that was not the case since we belonged to different group of friends. Carolyn and I only got closer during senior year in high school. If I can turn back the hands of time, I would want to be her BFF.


Go ahead, ask why I wished I belonged to her squad ...... because I grew up admiring the kind of friendship my mom have with her closest friends from high school as well as her "Hitad" group based in California. They have been very good friends, more like sisters, and it is the kind of bond - friendship goal that I aspire to have. It is so much like the kind that Carolyn shares with her BFFs or best friends for life.

They always did so many fun things together. They were all very popular, and they rocked social media accounts with their IG and FB posts. And just by looking at their pics you can tell there was so much love, friendship and camaraderie that bonded them together. They showed the world they are proud of each other. I guess the best part was that their parents were friends too, and they were all members of their extended families.


Carolyn's squad which includes Kara, Lauryn, Maria, Marissa and some of the WA dudes, belonged to the WAHS dream team having a combination of beauty, poise, academic excellence achievers and active participants in extra-curricular activities and their communities.

As fate would have it, King Tut and I were both in Mr. Eric Shephard's AP Econ class, National Honor Society, Prom Court (she was our Prom Queen), and we both graduated with Distinguished Honors Summa Cum Laude - Top 10% of the WASH Class of 2016.


This Alpha girl has achieved so much in high school: consistent Honor roll student, National Honor Society, Distinguished Honors Summa Cum Laude, Prom Queen, senior class Vice President, 12 letters for basketball, tennis, and track, and member of peer to peer empowerment.

At Penn State University - Main Campus, she is majoring in Early Childhood Education. As usual, she continues to kick ass by being a consistent deans lister, passionate about IM basketball and is a member of Kappa Alpha Theta!

I always knew she will do well in anything she puts her mind to. If I had an older brother, I would match him up with Carolyn. She is the perfect combination of beauty, brawns, brains - and is the kindest and coolest friend you will ever have. When we met for lunch during Christmas break, nothing has changed and I hope nothing ever will. We love chillin'! Hail to King Tut! Long live Carolyn Stout - The Alpha Girl!!

College is a crazy, beautiful, amazing whirlwind. It is highly popularized in television and movies, but not necessarily in the most accurate way. Yes, there's frats, dingy dorms, raging house parties—but there's also a lot that people fail to mention.

1. If you thought that you knew how to study, you're wrong.

All of your classes aren't taught every day, so professors aren't on your case constantly about reading and memorizing material. Once you get back that "questionable" first exam grade, you'll kick it into high gear and figure out what works for you

Girl With Bleached Hair
Tumblr

I've been a bleach blonde for over a year now, and let me tell you, it is a lifestyle. More hair appointments, longer showers, and special shampoo. But it is totally worth it!

1. Mentally preparing yourself to convince your hair dresser that white is the way to go.

2. Or the anxiety of what could go wrong by bleaching your hair at home.

3. You could either become a ginger

4. Or a pixie

5. The face you make in the mirror when you take off your towel to unveil the perfect white strands.

6. Taking a million selfies the day you bleached it, because you know your roots will be back in literally 2 days.

7. Having to get bangs or a big chop because your hair is so damaged.

8. Having orange highlights in between touch-ups.

9. Going out for a drink afterwards to debut your updated look.

Despite the struggles, you love your platinum blonde hair! You make sure Instagram knows it, too. You don't need a filter, because the color is flawless by itself!

Finals: just thinking about them gives you anxiety. Only two weeks separate you from summer, but they're the longest of the semester. There's a familiarity to this season, now that you have had so many testing cycles under your belt. But that doesn't quell the ever present stress to pass your finals and your classes. Even better, as a package deal during these wonderful weeks, you get to wake up early to study and you get to take exams that can begin anytime from 7 A.M. to 7 P.M. Now that we have established that this week is not fun, here are some super relatable moments that punctuate finals week.

I've been at this college thing for almost three and a half years, and while I thought that high school was truly the lowest point of my existence, I'm beginning to realize that it was a walk in the park. Like, I miss the days when the biggest white lie I told my parents was my made up excuse about being late for fourth period. These days, the white lies are a tad more complex, and as ashamed as I am to admit it, I've definitely told a few of these.
