Does International Women's Day have you feeling empowered and ready to take on the world? Hold on to that feeling. Celebrating your womanhood does not have to only happen once a year, it can happen everyday! Here are just a few of the ways you can celebrate your inner goddess.

1. Wear Whatever You Want Because You Are Strong And Beautiful.

As long as you feel comfortable and confident, you should feel good about showcasing your body in whatever way you choose.


2. Donate To A Cause You Care About.

Examples include Planned Parenthood, Tostan, and Girls Not Brides. However, there is an amazing amount of other worthwhile charities.


3. Have An Open And Honest Discussion About Your Ambition And Goals With Your Friends.

The more we discuss all the incredible things we want to do in life, the more we inspire each other.


4. Have An Open And Honest Discussion About Feminism With Men.

Approach this situation as calmly as possible, like Emma Watson. Sometimes the biggest disconnect is just a lack of understanding.


5. Watch A Movie/Show With A Strong Female Lead.

Netflix has this as a category for a reason! You'll feel inspired and ready to take on the world.


6. Pay A Random Compliment To A Woman.

It may seem small, but when we build each other up, we all feel more empowered.


7. Donate Your Time By Helping At A Women's Shelter.

There are more than you think, and you can volunteer to play with children or serve a meal.


8. Tell Your Female Role Models How Much They Mean To You.

You can do this with flowers or a hand-written letter. Just speak from the heart and let them know all the ways they inspire you.


These are just eight simple ways you can keep every day feeling like International Women's Day. If a man asks you why there's a women's day and not a men's day, avoid ripping their head off and simply explain the importance.

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!

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.

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.
