It is the greatest month of the year, Women's History Month. So in celebration of dope women in history, let's look at some dope women on screen.

1. Daenerys Targaryen (Game of Thrones)


Daenerys Stormborn of the House Targaryen, First of her Name, the Unburnt, Queen of the Andals and the First Men, Khaleesi of the Great Grass Sea, Breaker of Chains, Mother of Dragons and BAD ASS BITCH!! Go head girl. She has dragons, she is smart, she listens to those around her and she has a heart for people who are oppressed. She wants to change the world, not for her own gain, but for the people that she loves so deeply.

2. Darlene Alderson (Mr. Robot)

Not only is she a hacker, she is helping her mentally unstable brother and trying to keep everything together. She has a fun personality that is accompanied by her dope style. She's smart, she's fun and she's a little terrifying. You da best Darlene.

3. The Scientist Ladies (Annihilation)


They are all smart, but they are all flawed. It is honestly refreshing to see women who seem like they have it together on the outside, yet they have battles on the inside. The complexity allotted to each character helps us as the viewer connect to women that we would otherwise think was out of our league. Beautiful film, badass ladies.

4. Buffy Summers (Buffy the Vampire Slayer)


I mean... she fought Vampires. Besides that, she's a "normal" teenage girl, whose friends with a gay woman and saves her male friend on several occasions. Intersectional as hell.

5. Katniss Everdeen (The Hunger Games)


She beat The Hunger Games not once, but twice. She kickstarted a revolution and took down an evil government that suppressed its people. Katniss is a strong, yet broken character that shows young girls that battling with a mental health issue does not make you less of a fighter. In fact, you can use those experiences to inspire change.

6. Black Panther Ladies (Black Panther)



I couldn't pick just one. Nakia, Shuri, Okoye and the Dora Milaje. They're all dope and strong as hell. Nakia wants to leave her, admittedly, privileged and comfortable life to help people who are in need. Shuri is a brilliant scientist who likes to keep her brother, the king, humble.

Okoye could kick your ass and would willingly kick her boyfriend's ass for what she believes in. The Dora Milaje are woman soldiers tasked with the job of protecting their king. That is so much pressure! All amazing, all dope, all deserving.

7. Diana Prince (Wonder Woman)


She's a literal God. And she made the DCEU better. Argument done.

8. Hermione Granger (Harry Potter)


Harry and Ron would have been dead their first year if it wasn't for Hermione. She's smarter than everyone, she's driven to make the world a better place and she does not shy away from obstacles. She is the best character in the HP series. Also, she punched Malfoy soooo......

9. Elle Woods (Legally Blond)


Sure her first motivation to go to law school was to follow a boy, but she eventually found out that she was great at this law thing. She exonerated an innocent client with her beauty know how. She invented the bend and snap. She did not allow slut shaming in her presence. She is a feminist icon.

10. Jessica Jones (Jessica Jones)


Another broken, yet inspiring woman. Dealing with the Post Traumatic Stress at the hands of her rapist, Kilgrave, Jones is thrown into trying to fight the man who has caused her so much pain. Especially in this Me Too movement, Jessica's bravery in facing someone who has caused her so much pain is inspiring to so many survivors. Plus she can break things with her fist so like, that's cool too.

11. Leslie Knope (Parks and Rec)

Leslie is kind, passionate and encouraging. When she has a goal she stops at nothing to achieve it. She is not a dark, brooding character. She is the character for women who have not been faced with a lot of hardships but is there for her friends that have. She is unafraid to share her emotions and she has had some funny moments as well.

12. Tasha "Taystee" Jefferson (Orange is the New Black)


Not only is she well read, she started a standoff with the prisoners and the prison guards. Sure it did not go super well, but at least she used her voice to bring awareness to a real issue in our penal system.

13. Abbi and Ilana (Broad City)


Man, these ladies are a fun time. They love each other and constantly encourage one another. We all need friends like that, Abbi and Illana sure aren't perfect, but they give ladies a good example of what a good friendship looks like.

14. Cece (New Girl)


Cece is the calm in the storm that is the loft. She managed to take the biggest party boy in that loft and turn him into an upstanding baby daddy. She's always there for Jess with some sage advice and she has a cute friendship with Winston, who is the best character in that show.

15. Maeve Millay (Westworld)


Homegirl is a businesswoman. She cares for her girls, looks out for herself and outsmarted the amusement park. Here's to season 2 and to seeing what happens to our dear Maeve.

Who run the world? These girls.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
