I’m Spending My Summer Focusing On Me
Ellen Gallagher

I'm spending my summer the same as the next college student. Sleeping late, working, and spending time with friends and family. These are all things I'm doing on the outside. But, on the inside, I am doing much more than that.

This summer, I have decided to work on myself. I am cleansing my life of all kinds of negativity, which for me, includes toxic people and toxic thoughts. I am doing things that I decide to do, not what other people tell me to do.

Not only I am doing things that make me happy, but I am doing things to make others happy. This does not mean I am "people-pleasing." This means that I am going to go out of my way to be kind and helpful to anyone and everyone who might need a little light in their lives. I decided to be nothing but kind, smiley, and selfless this summer. Not only will this bring a small ounce of happiness to the people I come across, but there is a satisfaction that comes with doing these things that is like no other.

Lastly, I am being active this summer. Not only exercise wise, but active in general. I am not going to lay around all day and watch movies or take naps when I really don't need them. I'm going to get things done and be productive.

This summer is all about bettering myself and the way I live my life. What are you doing this summer?

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:

If you are like me, you have an interesting personality. Basically, you love to be sassy and snarky, gossip, and act like a total bitch (not really), but deep down, you are actually a very genuinely nice person. The idea of actually hurting someone truly makes you feel bad, and you probably have never actually hurt someone’s feelings because your kindness always shines through, even if you do not want it to. Not sure exactly what I would call this type of personality, but if you identify with it, here are some feelings you can undoubtedly relate to.
