My Summer Job As Told By April Ludgate
Huffington Post

Summer jobs can be rough, especially when all they include is scanning old files for your county's Engineers Office, eight hours a day, five days a week. They also really suck when you have to wake up at 6:30 AM to get there on time. Despite the fact that it sucks, I still wake up and go Monday through Friday (without a smile on my face) and imagine myself as April from "Parks and Recreation" while I'm there.

So here's how my summer job has gone as told by April Ludgate:

When part of your paycheck goes to retirement:

When you realize in it's only Monday:

When you just want to share your misery with everyone else:

When your weird co-worker tells you stories you don't care about:

When things get really boring and you're dying for some action:

When you get accused of using your phone too much:

When you're the last summer intern left and the youngest person in the office:

All in all, this summer hasn't sucked too bad and making money isn't the worst thing ever. so for the next two weeks I'll be thinking about the student loans I can pay off and the amazing spring break I'll be able to afford because of my terribly boring summer job. So, even though I'm channeling my inner April, I'm still grateful for the early mornings and weeks spent in a mind-numbing state of boredom.

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:
