8 Signs You're A GirlBoss In A Modern World

What is a GirlBoss?

To me, a GirlBoss (n) is a man/woman who knows how to act/think/feel like the most confident woman/man in the room, someone who does not take the word no as a definite answer, and one who is able to make walking on glass look like walking on pillows

You may be asking yourself what is a GirlBoss? How can I become this self-proclaimed GirlBoss? Wait a minute, am I already a GirlBoss? Chances are if you're reading this article, you are a GirlBoss or know one.

1. You're used to being called "bossy" but you already know that just means you have your sh*$ together. Also, why is bossy such a bad thing?


2. You're always on time but if for some odd reason you're running late that just means everyone else was early.


3. As much as you may procrastinate, you really know when it's time to get things done. *Que messy bun, large coffee, rap music*


4. You may be called a bitch, but we all know what that really means....


5. You understand the importance of staying pulled together when in reality you're sick of any and everyone.


6. You understand what it means to work hard and try your best to do just that every day.


7. What people think of you is only their opinion and is honestly, quite irrelevant.


8. You may be a little too honest at times, but you always mean well in the long run.

At the end of the day, keep being you and keep doing you. What people say or think is irrelevant to how well you are doing and how far you are going in life. Everyone has a little of a GirlBoss in them, it just takes someone or something to bring it out.

The book #GirlBoss by Sophia Amoruso, Nasty Gal's founder and executive chairman, goes in detail about the trials and tribulations of being a GirlBoss in today's modern world!

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

27 Things 'The Office' Has Taught Us

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

Being pre-med is quite a journey. It’s not easy juggling school work, extracurricular activities, volunteering, shadowing, research, and MCAT prep all at the same time. Ever heard of “pain is temporary, but GPA is forever?” Pre-meds don’t just embody that motto; we live and breathe it. Here are 10 symptoms you’re down with the pre-med student syndrome.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.

A book by the name of "The Stranger."

"The Stranger" by Albert Campus touches upon many heavy elements... but not in the way you expect. Although it touches upon the aspects of death and love, it also deals with a hidden philosophy similar to that of nihilism.

The story follows the short life events of Meursault, a Frenchman whose carelessness for his actions eventually ends him in jail and dependent on a jury of people to judge the ethicality of his decision and the punishment that he deserves. He eventually gets the death penalty and all throughout he is nonchalant and almost apathetic towards his situation. He finally snaps when the prison sends a priest to him to absolve him of his sins and to cajole him in confessing to the lord.
