Poetry On Odyssey: 'Disaster Girl'

"In reality, you never change the hurricane, you just learn to stay out of it's path."- Jodi Picoult

It's girls like her

That make them name

Hurricanes after people.

She rolled in out of no where,

And we were all caught

In her rain,

Unable to know

The devastation to come.


It's girls like her

That make forest fires

Look like birthday candles.

She tricked me into being happy

While she burned down

Everything I cared about.


It's girls like her

That make earthquakes

Look like a massage chair.

Because she turns and

Smiles at me,

And my world is shaken

Beyond recognition.


It's girls like her

That make quicksand

Look merciful.

Because it's so fast in

Comparison to her.

Quicksand kills you

By tricking you into

Drowning.

But she…

She will drown you in

Her rain

Without you knowing

You're even getting wet.


It's girls like her

That make tornadoes jealous

Because she blew into my life,

And caused so much more damage

Than anyone could

Begin to repair.


It's girls like her

That give natural disasters

A good name.

Because nothing compares

To her devastating charm.

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.”

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:
