Everyone needs a little inspiration to start of the new year and a great way to end the first month of 2017 is to check out this list of bad-ass women. We all aspire to be bad-ass, but these women take it to another level. These women are powerful, motivational, smart, and have numerous talents. Warning: the first three women listed are featured in American Horror Story, a bad-ass show all on it's own.

1. Sarah Paulson

Sarah Paulson is the definition of fierce. Her recent rise in the public eye came with her appearance on FX's two hit television series's: American Horror Story and The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story. She's everything young women should aspire to be. She's intelligent, motivational, and confident.

2. Lily Rabe

Sarah Paulson's co-star on American Horror Story, Lily Rabe, is a beautiful talent. Her character in season three, Coven, "Misty Day" was innocent, but when it came to being strong, she was the symbol of strength. Basically how Lily Rabe is in real life. Look at this photo, it screams "confidence" and of course beauty.

3. Jessica Lange

One word: iconic. Jessica Lange is the baddest. She is a worldwide acclaimed actress, and is known for her attributions to film, theater, and television. She rose to fame in the film King Kong, has appeared on the first few seasons of American Horror Story, and is now going to be on FX's new show, Feud: Bette and Joan. In the new series, she co-stars with another bad-ass lady, Susan Sarandon.

4. J.K. Rowling

Does she need any explanation as to why she's bad-ass? I think not. Of course she's most known for being the author of the popular Harry Potterseries. A interesting fact about her past: she was a single mother and was inspired to write the popular series while on a delayed train. J.K. Rowling has created a magical world, with some pretty powerful characters.

5. Emma Watson

She has it all. Emma Watson is more than an actress and a model, she's an activist. She speaks out frequently about women's rights, and is a UN Global Goodwill Ambassador. She also created the campaign "HeforShe," which you can find out more about on here.

This is a short list of bad-ass women we should aspire to be not only in 2017, but in our future. Aside from everything going on in the world today, these women continue to entertain and be innovative for a brighter tomorrow. Nowadays, young women need some serious guidance within the pop culture. Of course, we all have different opinions, but I think we can all agree on this-- these women are pretty bad-ass.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
