You will be starting fresh

Wen you graduate college they al say about the new chapter you will be embarking on. Well, it ready is a fresh start and something that is a good thing and sometimes it hard. I'm a pretty adaptable person, but once I graduated college and enter the real world it was the big adjustment. Working Mon-Fri meeting new people, learning new things. I think what's the hardest part for me is that I build friendship and relationship and like the place I was in college. However, when I left and got my job I felt like I was starting all over again. I was in a sense a freshman again and I didn't like it.

You will be making the money

Yes, it is true to begin in college you were most likely broke, but now you are making real money and you're all excited to finally to able to buy the thing you never could before. You can finally feel a sense of financial serenity that is the next thing on the list.

Loans, loans, loans

If you are anything like a typical college student you have loans. Now we do get a six-month grace period, but that grace period end quickly. You have to start thinking about consolidation and how you are going to pay the monthly payment. It sucks!!

Making new friends

making friends is all hard especially when you get older. Most likely you will be going into a job that has older people than you. It is a big change from being in class with the people of the same age.

Learning what insurance to get and about a 401K

This stuff is so much fun NOT. If you are luckily enough to get a job right away that offers you PTO, 401K, and insurance that is great. However, all the stuff you need to learn is crazy and all the hoop you have to jump through is, even more, ridiculous. if definitely worth it to now yo can have all this available to us at such a young age, but it's definitely a learning a cure they don't teach us in college.

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 Heart It

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:
