A Stream Of Thoughts About Spring Concert Performer Waka Flocka Flame
Anna Kane

When it was announced that Waka Flocka Flame and his resident DJ, DJ Whoo Kid, would be performing at my college's spring concert a few weeks ago, I had absolutely no idea what to expect. As someone who really only listens to rap music by Drake and occasionally Kendrick Lamar, I (still) only know one of Waka's hits ("No Hands"), and I knew I was in for a surprise. (For those curious, Mount Holyoke News reports that he also performed "Round of Applause," "50K," "O Let's Do It," and "Grove St. Party.")

Here's a review of Waka's $300,000, energetic performance at Mount Holyoke College from the random texts I sent and the thoughts I had during the concert, from the moment I stepped inside the very warm venue wearing denim short shorts and a black bodysuit to the lights coming up.

Wait, why is he performing here again?!

He cost howwww much!?

Hey look he's finally on stage!!!

I have no idea what the f*** he's saying.

He's very good at jumping. Damn. I will jump too.

I AM SO SWEATY.

Where did he go??

OMGG HE'S IN THE CROWD.

WOW HE IS SO TALLLLL.

AND ALSO VEGAN, LIKE HALF THIS SCHOOL!!!

**Flock over to wherever he happens to move in the crowd, unintentionally creating a moshpit**

(At this point I figured I should try to document how close I was to the performer himself, but the crowd was so intense I couldn't even get my phone out of my back pocket as people stepped on my toes.)

OMGGGG I JUST TOUCHED WAKA FLOCKA FLAME.

WOAHHH HE IS BACK ON STAGE.

I STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENING.

HE IS JUMPING AGAIN. A LOT.

I WILL ALSO JUMP. A LOT.

OMG IT'S "NO HANDS."

**Sings along to every word**

"Girl the way you're moving, got me in a trance--"

I don't know what this song is. Again.

I'm going to jump like Waka. Everyone else is doing it.

Where did he go??

It's only 11pm! He still has another hour to perform!!

Everyone is leaving. The lights are on. I should probably go.

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.

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:
