You Don't Realize How Important Your Mental Health Is Until You're Halfway Through The Semester Physically Drowning In Papers

If you're a college student like me, I can ensure that this will definitely be worth the read.

As I'm writing this article, I'm currently sitting at my kitchen counter with my roomie thinking about all of the assignments and essays I have to do after my article submission.

I often find myself making lists or stressing about all of the work that I know I have to do some nights throughout the week. It's a constant cycle and I have recently realized how frustrating it is to bed a constant cycle.

I have most recently realized that the best way to go about dealing with the stress of the semester is to tackle it head-on.

Stressed about an assignment?

Just do it and be done!!!

I have personally come to the realization that I'm over living life worried and stressed about assignments I have to do, but, realistically, that's college and that's life.

I have realized that although I am busy and life is extremely hectic, these assignments, quizzes, projects, whatever it may be, just have to be done in order to power through college.

Although now is a time where we should be thriving, it can also be difficult to keep up with the challenges life throws at us and the amount of time it can take to finish everything we have to do.

All in all, college life is an extremely fun & exciting time, but the workload can definitely get the best of you. If there's one thing I've learned for sure, it's to make sure I have my school stuff in order to take the extra stress off of my hands.

Unfortunately (although better late than never), prioritizing my school work (although I still procrastinate — LOL, some things never change) is something I really didn't begin to do until my junior year, & it has honestly saved me from the stress my major brings.

If you feel like you're in a state of libido and on that struggle bus of stressing about work you have yet to even do, I absolutely urge you to just do it.

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:

If you are like me, you have an interesting personality. Basically, you love to be sassy and snarky, gossip, and act like a total bitch (not really), but deep down, you are actually a very genuinely nice person. The idea of actually hurting someone truly makes you feel bad, and you probably have never actually hurt someone’s feelings because your kindness always shines through, even if you do not want it to. Not sure exactly what I would call this type of personality, but if you identify with it, here are some feelings you can undoubtedly relate to.
