Ladies,

Instead of criticizing one another, we should be empowering each other. Now I know we hear this all the time, but many of us may not know what it means. A lot of us may not even realize we're putting a woman down.

When you see a girl out in public and you like her outfit, tell her.

If you like her hair, compliment it.

Don't tell a woman she's a bad mom for wanting to focus on her career and don't tell a woman that it's wrong that she doesn't want to have kids.

When you see a woman wearing heels at a shopping mall, applaud her.

When you see a mother struggling with her kids at the grocery store, tell her she's doing a great job.

Too often we criticize each other because we wouldn't do the same for ourselves. We call other women bad mothers because we don't agree with their parenting techniques. We shame young women who become mothers claiming they're throwing their lives away, and we tell older women they waited too long. We call each other a slut for exercising our right to say yes, and we talk about our friends behind their backs.

We're flirting with each other's significant others, rather than letting them know that their S.O. isn't faithful. We act as if we are in competition when in reality, we are on the same team.

As women, we need to stick together, compliment and empower one another.

Spread the love!

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.
