There's always a point in time in a girl's life where she may need a reminder on how important she is. Whether it's because of conflicts at her job, an abusive relationship, family issues, etc., a girl should always be reminded about the grace and class she holds within. Here are a few reminders to all my ladies.

1. You come first.

Ladies no matter what he tells you or whatever conflict you are in, you always come first. Never push your dignity aside for the happiness of others. Loving yourself and making yourself your priority is one of the most beautiful things you could ever do in your life. This shows that you not only value yourself, but you have the ability to value others because you can't love another without having love for you.


2. Always bring out your inner Beyoncé.

Beyoncé is one of my favorite artists due to the messages of women empowerment in her songs. If at any point you feel less or walked over, always say to yourself, "I shouldn't have to stress over anything because I'm as flawless as Beyoncé." Channel the confidence, grace, and poise Beyoncé has into your stresses and you'll see how easily things will get better.

3. Aim higher.

As human beings, it's natural for us to want to give up at times. Don't. Never settle for less. You're getting too comfortable at your job? Aim higher. Not making enough to cover the bills? Aim higher. Settling for less is the same as betraying your potential.

4. Take care of yourself.

While the grind may never stop, have some time for yourself every once in a while. Take a trip to the spa. Schedule a mani and pedi. Go out with the girls and leave your phone at home. Always make time for yourself because no one else will.

Keep these in mind and you'll have a fierce 2017.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
