To The Girl Worrying Too Much About Her Future:

Thinking about your future is great, but when it stops you form living in the now, then it’s not helping you.

It’s about finding the balance and setting up short term goals that will lead to a happy life.

You don’t have to know what you are going to do for the rest of your life right now, you don’t even need to know what you are going to do next year, next month, or next week.

When you struggle with deviating from a the normal plan or routine, remind yourself that you can’t forget to live in the now.

When you are sitting in your happy place, when you are settled and successful, you are going to look back on your life.

Are you going to have any good stories to share?

Will you look back and realize you spend all off your life on the hustle and none of it on the beauty of being alive.

Don’t get me wrong, the hustle is important. It's possibly what will bring you to your success.

But what are you sacrificing for it?

When I make it to the top and look back on my life, am I going to see myself at school, at work, or asleep? Or will I see happy memories with my family, heartbreaks I thought I would never get over, and crazy stupid nights with my friends?

I do the hustle right now, I put my time and effort into my school, my job, and in my free time I work out or eat.

I need to create a better balance.

When you are in your 20s, you are supposed to be doing ridiculous things and going on crazy adventures. Experiencing things that you finally have the freedom to do and still being young, with limited responsibilities.

Don’t worry so much about your future that you forget to live in the now. Embrace every day, it’s a gift you don’t just want to go through the motions of life and forget to really live.

Continue the hustle, keep your plan for the future, but don’t forget to enjoy the moment.

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:

If you are like me, you have an interesting personality. Basically, you love to be sassy and snarky, gossip, and act like a total bitch (not really), but deep down, you are actually a very genuinely nice person. The idea of actually hurting someone truly makes you feel bad, and you probably have never actually hurt someone’s feelings because your kindness always shines through, even if you do not want it to. Not sure exactly what I would call this type of personality, but if you identify with it, here are some feelings you can undoubtedly relate to.
