Reminder: Check Up On Your Friends This Finals/Holiday Season

Finals season is hard for everyone, unless you somehow have no finals. Then, I'm just super jealous of you. But for those of us who have five or six, I can tell you that it's not a fun time.

Cramming for three months of material in a few days is hard stuff, especially when it is college level material. A lack of sleep can turn the nicest people snappy.

Finals season is make or break for some people because a final grade is more than just a letter. It's money.

Some people love the holidays, but for some people, it's an extremely hard time. With that on top of the stress of finals, check up on your friends. You never know what stress is doing to someone. Everyone in college is probably super stressed out right now, but not everyone can handle that stress.

Check up on your friends. Send them an encouraging text or ask them to study with you. Make sure they aren't isolated and know they're not alone.

And if you're really struggling? Reach out. Everyone else is struggling too, I promise. You have nothing to be ashamed of. You're not less than for having a hard time.

You've made it through months of hard assignments and sleepless nights. You can handle a few more.

You got this.

“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:
