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?

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school.

Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
