Maroon 5's newest music video to 'Girls Like You' only came out 2 weeks ago and yet it already has 158 million views. They are known for their unique music videos, such as crashing weddings during their hit, 'Sugar'. However, 'Girls Like You' has already scored million's of people's hearts, especially mine. And here is why.

This music video is known for showcasing many popular female celebrities, journalists, models, and activists, from popular talk show host Ellen Degeneres to Olympic gymnast Ally Raisman. Of course, lead singer Adam Levine even included his wife, Behati Prinsloo. Before watching this video, one would expect all of the featured women to look the same: white skin, blonde hair, skinny, and supermodel-like. I felt the same as well- 'ANOTHER video with the same looking women?' Maroon 5 definitely exceeded my expectations.

'Girls Like You' includes women of ALL races, religions, sizes, and looks. It's so important that everyone sees how much we need diversity, and argues that all women are beautiful. When I looked at all of these women, I saw nothing but pure beauty, and couldn't help but think 'Oh my gosh, she's so gorgeous. I wish I had the confidence she has'.

We need to realize that all women are beautiful. Race, religion, etc. don't matter. Frankly, I applaud Maroon 5 for the decision to include a variety of women, not just the typical women. I believe that more diversity=more power. No matter who we are, we have the ability to change the world and ourselves. All women are strong regardless of the way we look. All women must work together to make a change, to make a difference.

As women, we can not let others look down on us. As shown by all the women featured in the video, they have all been successful. Some are well-known activists. Some are famous comedians. A few are popular authors. Women aren't meant to stay at home to take care of their children and wash the dishes. Women are meant to put themselves out there and show they world what they've got. Women are more powerful than one may think, and this video shows just that.

This is why Maroon 5 made my heart melt. That's another point for them in my book.

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.
