Summer on the Quarter System

Drexel is a quarter system school, meaning while other schools have 2 terms and a summer, we have 4 terms, all year around. So while everyone else is excited to finish up their academic year, us here at Drexel are on WEEK 5 of our 10 week term. What's it like being at a co-op, quarter system school??

1. All of your friends are home while you're still writing papers and taking exams.

2. It's gorgeous outside but you have a 3 hour lecture!!!!

3. Your friends are all excited that they have time off between school and work to go take trips and hang out while you'll be here cramming for finals!!!!

4. But!!!!! you get to see your school friends for longer!!!!

5. AND take advantage of the parties for longer!

6. While enjoying what your city (Philly) has to offer!

7. AND now that no one else is in school, there's no excuse not to come visit!

8. While your friends were on break, you were preparing for the opportunities that come with a co-op school, like getting ready for your JOB!

9. But when finals roll around, none of your friends from home will want to hear about your stress.

10. And while we all know that the summer is the most important part of the year, leaving your college friends to see your home friends is always hard, because your college friends have become your family.

But you'll be back at school soon enough!!!!

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.”

As frustrating and annoying as it can be, being a girl is really awesome. We are beautiful inside and out. Not a lot of people may see that, but girls have a ton of amazing qualities.

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:
