The Day Before An Exam

No matter what I do, I always procrastinate

It's the night before an exam. The impending doom of the next day is starting to settle in, and I have come to the realization that procrastinating was a bad decision. I look at the chapters I have to read and don't even know where to start. Am I going to fully read each chapter?Or am I going to go over each quickly? I try to start, but I can't focus on a single word I read. I realize that coffee is the only way I'm going to get through anything. Of course, I chug down to double shots and magically everything starts to make sense.

The first chapter makes me feel like everything will be ok. I'm positive I'll have enough time. I reach chapter two and have the realization that this studying is going to actually take a lot of time. Lets not even mention how chapters three and everything onwards goes. Notes? What's that at this point?

Now that I have done my ritual of going over all necessary articles I have to look at exactly what the professor wanted. I'm a little annoyed that I did anything extra, but I get through it within an hour or two.

It's been a long time since I started studying. Probably around eight hours... I also realize that my clock says four in the morning. I lay in bed and come to the realization that the next day is going to be long, I even contemplate the possibility of skipping my first classes, but seeing as I've had other exams like this one I realize I have no more skips I could possibly use.

I've finally closed my eyes, and have vowed to myself to never procrastinate again( Let's be honest though, I'm going to).

Every time I have an exam I go through this routine. It never fails, even when I promise myself I'll do a majority of my studying far in advance.

So to all my procrastinating college friends, I feel you, do you, and be great!

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 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:
