5 Inspiring Women Who Are Changing The Game

Women having strong influence in society is very important, and can inspire everyone looking up to them. Here are the women who have done that for me.

Oprah Winfrey

We all know and love her. Oprah is a successful producer, talk show host, philanthropist, and media proprietor. Despite being born to a poor single mother, and suffering from many bad situations, Oprah managed to work her way into the media industry and is now North America's first and only multi-billionaire African American. Way to go Oprah!!!

Rowan Blanchard


Rowan Blanchard is a fifteen year old actress, feminist, and human rights activist. She began acting at age 5, and is now a main character in the Disney series "Girl Meets World". She uses her influence to speak out in her beliefs, including speaking at the UN women and the US National Committee's annual conference, in support of he for she, a feminist movement. A person so young being able to voice her opinions so fluently is truly inspiring.

Michelle Obama


Our fantastic FLOTUS. Michelle LaVaughn Robinson Obama is the first lady of the United States, a Princeton AND Harvard graduate, a lawyer, and an advocate for poverty awareness and a healthy lifestyle. This is one fabulously strong woman,

Gloria Steinem


Gloria is a feminist who began her activism in the feminist movement of the 1960s and early 1970s. She is a journalist, founded "Ms. Magazine", and co founded the Woman's Media Center with Jane Fonda and Robin Morgan. She has played a very big role in the feminist movement. This woman is truly spectacular.

Dorothy Pittman Hughes


Dorothy is yet another fantastic feminist. She is an African American activist, public speaker, child welfare advocate, co founder of "Ms Magazine" and the Women's Action Alliance with Gloria Steinem. She toured with Gloria around the US in the 1970s, speaking about race, gender, and class, and still speaks out today.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

We all freak out when things don't go exactly as planned or when our expectations are unmet. As time goes on, we realize that the uncertainty of college is what makes it great. Here are some helpful reminders about life in college.

Recently I completed my freshman year of college, and boy, what an experience. It was a completely new learning environment and I can't believe how much I learned. In an effort to save time, here are the ten biggest lessons I learned from my first year of college.

1. Everyone is in the same boat

For me, the scariest part of starting school was that I was alone, that I wouldn't be able to make any friends and that I would stick out. Despite being told time and time again that everyone had these same feelings, it didn't really click until the first day when I saw all the other freshman looking as uneasy and uncomfortable as me. Therefore, I cannot stress this enough, everyone is feeling as nervous as you.
