I changed my major to English at the beginning of my sophomore year and I absolutely love it, but at the same time, I hate it. I don't hate it in the way of wanting to drop out and quit, but in the way that I always always ALWAYS have something to read. I spend my down time reading for class and I spend homework time reading for class. It's a never ending cycle of reading.

I will bring my ginormous literature book with me almost everywhere I go. In between class I'm reading, before work in my car I'm reading, name a place and I am most likely reading there. I'm not by any means complaining about this, but I'm simply informing you as to what goes on in my life.

I love the way that literature is written, and the stories that authors used to come up with, but if I could have one day where I have nothing at all to read, I would be amazed. There's the looming presence of my literature books on the side of my desk that are telling me to open them, but maybe I just want to watch Netflix for a few.

I believe that when people believe they are in the right major, they love the classes that they have, but the work can be overwhelming. I wouldn't want to do any other major, but that won't stop me from occasionally hating the homework I have to do for those classes.

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.

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:
