Don't Allow Your Mistakes To Hinder You

There's no shame in falling, just muster up the strength to stand back up.

As graduation approaches, I find myself constantly thinking about what I could've done differently to reach certain areas in my life a lot sooner. However, everything in life eventually works out the way it should. Many times, we try to overcompensate for the things we might have done wrong or the people we may have disappointed. Regardless, we should all strive to be better and not let our past weigh us down.

If an individual is following a dream or passion and they fail or make a mistake along the way, one needs to realize that it's not the end of the world. We sometimes degrade ourselves way too much for falling down while trying to follow our passions (myself included, especially when it comes to my passion for music). It took a while, but I'll finally have my BA in a few weeks and then will be starting my journey to achieve my MBA.

I, along with a few other of my friends, have made many mistakes over the years in our journey to success. However, in order for people in today's society to come to a much better state of mind and acceptance, we must choose to stop degrading ourselves and move towards accepting our mistakes and learning from them. Also, you feel so much better as a person when you're not allowing your past mistakes to weigh you down. Who doesn't want to feel more level-headed and happy in life?

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 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:
