Spring Break In College: Here's To Studying Instead Of Sleeping

So, last week was Spring Break.

I was so excited for Spring Break. A week to sleep in, go to bed whenever, and do whatever for an entire week. Now I am not your average college student. I was not planning to take a trip to a beach somewhere and get plastered. That is the farthest thing from what I wanted to do because it dumbfounds me on why a person would want to get so drunk and party every day that they hardly have time to rest. I work so hard in school that I need time to rest and rejuvenate.

I wanted to sleep in until to whatever time I felt like. I wanted to catch up on the television shows that I have not had a chance to watch in a few months. I wanted to not think about classes, projects, or presentations for the entire week. I wanted to spend my days the way I wanted to and have a restful fun week.

Apparently, that is not how Spring Break will be for me anymore. I spent each day of the week catching up on work. I spent days studying for upcoming tests and working on projects and presentations. I think the latest I slept all week was 9 a.m. which is only about an hour or two extra than what I would normally sleep to. I stressed about homework and classwork for the next week.

The only thing that was different about this week than other weeks was that I did not have classes. That was the only difference. This week was not the restful fun week I was so desperately hoping for. I still do not feel completely rested to start classes back on Monday. I actually dreaded the weekend for the first time in my life. I kept hoping and praying that my week would drag by, but instead if flew by faster than I could have imagined.

So, I am extremely ready for Summer, to say the least.

On the Upper East Side, Blair Waldorf is an icon. She's what every girl aspires to be. She's beautiful, confident, and can handle any obstacle that life throws at her. Sure, she may just be a television character. But for me, she's a role model and theres a lot that can be learned from Queen B.

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

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:
