How to Adult
badalitherapy.com

Let’s face it, at times we all need help adulting. We need someone to reflect on, to make sure we are not completely crazy. We get thrown into adulthood, some of us were even 18 and still in high school having to ask to use the bathroom and being told that we cant have thirds on pretzel bun day. But here we are, all adulting and doing fine. I recently got engaged and I can honestly say I have never felt so adult.

1. Be organized

Or as organized as your life calls for. Keep track of important documents, I.D, and valuable items. This greatly help you adult.

2. Less procrastination

This is a hard one. No matter what age you are, procrastination is always an easy alternative to budgeting time to get a task done. Just try your best, and use a planner! It works for me so far.

3. Have fun

Don’t be too hard on yourself, you're doing great. Just be yourself and don’t forget do do things that make you happy. Often times we put others happiness before our own, which is great, but remember to treat yourself once in awhile.

4. Do what is best for you

Focus on your goals and achieve them. Do what will benefit you in the long run. Consider others feeling and stay open minded, but do what makes you a better person.

5. Work hard

In order to get where you're going, you have to work for it. Stay motivated and do your best each day.

6. Day by day

Take things day by day, don’t sweat the small stuff. Relax and take things day by day.

I hope this gave my readers a laugh and reassurance, that as young adults we are doing great. Stay focused and keep adulting!

On the Upper East Side, Blair Waldorf is an icon. She's what every girl aspires to be. She's beautiful, confident, and can handle any obstacle that life throws at her. Sure, she may just be a television character. But for me, she's a role model and theres a lot that can be learned from Queen B.

The Perks of Being a Girl

“I just want you to know that you’re very special… and the only reason I’m telling you is that I don’t know if anyone else ever has.”

As frustrating and annoying as it can be, being a girl is really awesome. We are beautiful inside and out. Not a lot of people may see that, but girls have a ton of amazing qualities.

We have unique flirting skills.

Us girls have a significant way to flirt with other people. Even when we say the most random or awkward things, we have a way of making everything sound cute and planned. It’s just a gift; we’re good like that.

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:
