A Battle Everyday

Dammit!

The stupid alarm is ringing. What time it is, 7 am?

Oh great, it is.

My head keeps telling me to stay in, my anxiety never sleeps. It's awake even in my dreams. Why can't it just go away? It can't, of course.

Time to get started with the day:

7am: Wake Up

8am: Breakfast

10am: Biology

12pm: Lunch

2pm: Psychology

Classes are pretty much simple: I keep to myself, don't speak until spoken to, and when it's over, I'm walking away. I never speak in my class. When I try to speak I get a familiar voice and the conversation goes as follows.

Me: *walks over to say hi to people*

Anxiety: You don't wanna do that.

Me: Yes I do, and you can't stop me.

Anxiety: I can, and you know how.

Me: Stop.

Anxiety: What if they don't answer back? What if they don't talk to you? What if they ignore you?

Me: Please...STOP!

Anxiety: What if they just look at you like you're nothing?

Me: *heavy breathing and hyperventilating* Stop...please

Anxiety: I'm right, and you know I'm right.

Me: okay...

I barely speak to people as it is. I have my friends, but the voice in my head will keep getting bigger and bigger, and there's nothing I can do, I have nothing and no one to turn to. When I want to go out the conversation will continue like:

Me: I'm going out tonight

Anxiety: No you're not

Me: Yes I am.

Anxiety makes me feel stuck like I can't do anything. I want to socialize and be happy, but my anxiety makes it harder and harder. Every. Single. Day. I get more and more deeper and under. Like I'm going under water and drowning. And I can't do nothing.

Someone please help me.

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:
