9 Iconic Lyrics From Halsey's Song 'Nightmare' That Will Have The Feminist In You Pumped Up

1. "I'm tired and angry but somebody should be"

This lyric is one of my favorites. It's especially relevant with everything going on with the abortion bans. Also, the look that she gives us while delivering this line shows just how annoyed she is.

2. "I won't be caught dead letting a man tell me what I can do with my bed"

We love a feminist queen. Also, very relevant again during the abortion ban issue.

3. "I pinch my skin in between my two fingers and wished I could cut some parts off with some scissors"

Halsey is focusing on all of the right issues, and she's right to be so angry about them.

4. "I don't owe you a goddamn thing"

Let's stop assuming that women only exist for a man's benefit. Or anyone's benefit but herself. Just let women make their own decisions and live their own lives.

5. "Kindness is weakness, or worse you're complacent"

She sings this while holding up a magazine saying "it's our turn". Again, a feminist queen.

6. "You smile, asshole"

While this isn't technically a lyric, but it's written on a sign, I love this moment in the music video. Especially paired with the lyric in the chorus: "come on little lady give us a smile". Not all women are willing to smile and look pretty for a man.

7. "Someone like me could be a real nightmare, completely aware"

And she's in the middle of a dreamcatcher as she's singing this line. Halsey's claiming that a woman who knows her worth and knows what she wants can seem dangerous to a man, which I love.

8. "No I won't smile but I'll show you my teeth"

We love a ~threatening~ feminist queen.

9. "I gotta recognize the weapon in my mind"

Sometimes a woman's greatest strength is her mind.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf: Your Spirit Animal

Who wouldn't wanna be Queen B?

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo
