11 Reasons 'The Bold Type' is a must-watch for summer

Come for the women, stay for the message

The Bold Type

ICYMI, Freeform has an incredible show that premiered last summer and came back for its second season this year.

"The Bold Type" follows 3 best friends working at a Scarlet, a women's magazine in NYC and navigates a number of complex topics while still keeping it light and fun.

Here are ## reasons you should add "The Bold Type" to your summer must-watch list.

1. Female friendships

Don't we all wish we had friends like Jane, Kat, and Sutton? The intimacy, honesty, and realness of their relationships, with all their ups and downs, makes you feel like you're friends with them at the end of each episode.

2. Diversity

With cast and characters of all different races, genders, sexual orientations, and backgrounds, "The Bold Type" captures a wide variety of people and their experiences.

3. Big issues

From immigration to cancer to gun control to female orgasms, "The Bold Type" isn't afraid to tackle tough topics, which is refreshing and super relevant in today's political culture.

4. New York City

Who doesn't love a show that's based in NYC?

5. Professional development

The show isn't all about going out and having fun with your friends. It also addresses what it's like to break into the professional world in your 20's.

6. Amazing bosses

Can all bosses be this nice and supportive, pls and thx?

7. Sex positivity

It's 2018. Sex positivity is in and telling women what to do with their bodies is out. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

8. The message

Jane, Kat, and Sutton kill it with the real life applications.

9. The romance

From steamy secret work romances to first loves to discovering your sexuality, "The Bold Type" does a great job interjecting fun romantic storylines to lighten up the more serious moments of the show.

10. The fashion

(And mainly the fashion closet, where all the best conversations happen).

11. The painful feeling when it ends

Like all summer flings, it must come to an end, but fingers crossed it'll be back next summer!

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective.
