8 Signs You're A GirlBoss In A Modern World
TheWrap

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!

The transition into adulthood is never easy

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

It's easier than you think.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
