You know. You know exactly what I'm talking about.

The slump. The post-winter, pre-spring slump. The weird weather and bilingual closets.

Especially if you live in the South, this 5th season is probably your least favorite. You will walk outside and have no idea what the day can turn into. Alas, there are solutions to Mother Nature's curse.

1. Treat every day like a surprise.Yes, one day could be cold and the next could be warm, BUT if you think about it, as soon as a cold day hits, you are almost guaranteed to wear shorts the next day.

2. Use more of your closet.You know those old Rainbows you always forget you have, or that light jacket you can never wear, well this is their time. They're not the old toys in the toy box anymore. Love them like they're your favorite.

3. Realize what is in the past.You did it! You somehow got through (most of) winter and spring and summer are to follow. If anything, you can't go back so you might as well lavish in the fact that pretty outsides are coming soon.

4. Know you're not the only one.You are not alone in this. So many other people are going through this with you, it's not as scary as you think. People all around you wake up in fear of the ever-changing weather and it's okay. You have each other.

5. Do something about it. Are you bored of your town? Do you hate what it feels like outside? If you answered yes to either of these questions then you should leave. Leave and never look back. I'm sure you might have a friend that lives somewhere or know of a cheap motel and if you do, that would be doing something about it.

Hopefully, this advice will help you get out of bed in the morning or be at peace with falling asleep at night. To being less slumpy...

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.”

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:
