Support your local girl gang.

Listen up, ladies. If there was ever a time that us ladies needed to stick together — it is now. And we need to more than ever. I for one have not always been a girls girl myself.

I went throughout high school like most teenage girls did — catty and ready to gossip whenever. As I have grown older I have come to fruition with how this world works.

Women are constantly juxtaposing themselves with other women which we know only weakens our #girlgang.

The thing is, if us women are not empowering each other and supporting one another, we are not living to our full potential as women. The electric energy we give off as females is so intense and fulfilling; when linked together with other electric women we become dominant in various aspects.

First things first — let’s stop tearing each other apart. What do we actually gain from that?

Because we sure as hell don’t gain true happiness when we engage in putting other females down.

Let’s look at it this way: we are all teammates on the same team, working through the same challenges and obstacles as each other. Why not work together towards the same goal? Why make things harder than they have to be?

Every girl knows the hardships of a female, so why wouldn’t we want to help one another out? It only makes sense that we would do so. We all know the feeling of being hurt by another girl, and we know it’s not a good one.

Let’s not lose sight of that feeling and instead use it to build up other females who need it.

Another aspect to look at is the boys.

We need to stop putting the men in our lives before our true sisters. It sounds obvious and oversaid, but it still holds true.

I see girls time and time again replace their solid girlfriends with their new boy and more than not, are left in the end without either.

Of course, that isn’t always the narrative, but I am sure whoever is reading this right now can relate to that time they lost their bestie to the boy -- not a good look, babe.

My friends and I pride ourselves on being girl’s girls as we would do anything for another female in a heartbeat. Why? Because we are wholeheartedly here for the girls.

They say “empowered women empower women” and that is without a doubt a true statement. Us ladies need to come together and let our girl gangs grow stronger and mighty.

It’s time that all of us females become true “girl’s girls” and genuinely support one another. Let’s do the damn thing.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
