Well, it's officially 2017 and the start of a brand new year. Stressed about going back to school? Nervous about the upcoming inauguration? Trust me, you aren't alone. So why not unwind with some pick-me-up powerful girl power anthems? Just press play, put your fist in the air, and dance like no one's watching.

1. Run The World (Girls) - Beyoncê

Of COURSE this song is first on the list. This is the ultimate girl power anthem.

2. Girls Just Want To Have Fun - Cyndi Lauper

A classic, go-to kareoke song.

3. Don't Save Me - HAIM

Because we don't need a man, and we definitely don't need to be "saved".

4. This Is What Makes Us Girls - Lana Del Rey

It's all in the title of the song.

5. How To Be A Heartbreaker - Marina and The Diamonds

Who says girls can't be heartbreakers?

6. Feelin' Myself - Nicki Minaj and Beyoncê

The two queens of woman empowerment came together to give us this gem of an anthem.

7. I Don't Need a Man - The Pussycat Dolls

We're perfectly happy with being single.

8. Needed Me - Rihanna

"Didn't they tell you that I was a savage? Fuck your white horse and a carriage". Chills.

9. Don't Touch My Hair - Solange

Solange beautifully illustrates how problematic it is when white people ask to touch a women of color's hair. It's her hair, not yours, and she's owning it.

10. Independent Woman - Destiny's Child

Need I say more?

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way.
