The girl crush has hit hard for many of us this year. There are so many outstanding women around the world right now. It's hard to only pick a few of them, so I did what any rational person would do and asked around. Here are a few of the answers I got when I asked who the biggest girl crushes of 2015 were.


1. Jennifer Lawrence aka J. Law:

You knew she would be on this list because there is no escaping how much we all love her. J. Law is the girl you just know you could be best friends with if you only had the chance. You hang on every word she says because she seems so genuine, and you definitely wouldn’t mind being able to borrow all of her clothes. She goes to dinner with Adele and Emma Stone. You know you'd take that squad over Taylor Swift's any day. Of course, we can’t talk about J-Law without talking about her latest BFF...


2. Amy Schumer:

Schumer is hands down one of everyone's favorites. She has one of the funniest television shows on the air right now. Schumer is your ballsy intelligent best friend who speaks her mind whenever she opens her mouth. When she’s not busy making us all pee our pants laughing or landing book deals, she’s looking fierce posing topless for a calendar.


3. Krysten Ritter:

Ritter as Jessica Jones, aka your spirit animal, on Netflix, is one of the best things you’ll see all year. The short-lived “Don’t Trust the B**** in Apartment 23,” introduced Ritter to a more widespread audience, if you hadn’t already seen her in “Veronica Mars.” However, the gritty “Jessica Jones,” is where she really shines. You’ll want to bring Ritter along to any girl’s night out just to watch her snap back at any skeezy pick-up lines, because you know she would be a girl who has your back.


4. Kerry Washington:

Washington has everything you look for in a girl crush. She’s intelligent, beautiful, kind, and you want to borrow everything she has. When she isn’t busy playing your favorite girl Olivia Pope on “Scandal,” she is working on The Allstate Foundation’s Purple Purse. Purple Purse is designed to help women escape domestic violence and financially abusive situations.


5. Margot Robbie:

Robbie is definitely the breakout star girl crush of 2015. She’s beautiful, charitable, and she slapped Leonardo DiCaprio during her audition for “The Wolf of Wall Street.” She’ll be on screen in August of 2016, alongside Jared Leto’s Joker, as Harley Quinn in “Suicide Squad.” You can see her in March of 2016 in “Whisky Tango Foxtrot,” alongside your longtime girl crush, Tina Fey.


6. Lupita Nyong’o:

Nyong’o, best known for her work in “12 Years a Slave,” is the it girl. From her edgy red carpet looks to her role in “Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens,” the Academy Award-winning actress can do no wrong. The stunning Nyong’o is also the Global Elephant Ambassador for WildAid and speaks five languages. She is the first Kenyan and the second African actress to win an Academy Award. If you weren’t girl crushing on her before, you should be now.


7. Emma Watson:


Watson, of “Harry Potter” fame, has earned a spot for herself in all of our hearts. The gorgeous humanitarian is well spoken, but more importantly, she is outspoken when it comes to what she believes in. A UN Women Goodwill Ambassador since July of 2014, Watson is serious about women’s issues on a global scale, which is just another reason why you should be crushing on her. She’ll be back on screen as Belle in the live-action adaptation of “Beauty and the Beast,” in 2017.


8. Adele:

Let’s be real, Adele is having the best year ever. Not only is she beautiful and loves cursing just as much as the rest of us do, but she sold more albums in a week than Taylor Swift did all year. If you were lucky enough to get tickets to one of her shows, please know the rest of us hate you and will be crying at home with Adele blaring through our speakers that night.


9. Malala Yousafzai:

Yousafzai lived in Pakistan under Taliban rule until 2012, when she was shot in the head. In 2014, she became the youngest person to receive the Nobel Peace Prize. Her autobiography, “I am Malala: The Girl Who Stood Up for Education and Was Shot by the Taliban,” was released in 2013 and the documentary, ”He Named Me Malala,” was released earlier this year. Despite being considered a target by terrorist groups, Yousafzai still continues to be an advocate for female education and peace worldwide. Most recently, she’s been outspoken about U.S. presidential candidate, Donald Trump.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
