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 know how to fight back.

While maybe not literally, that is Guy Territory. However, when it comes to dealing with drama and other people, we learn, and eventually know, how to deal with other people’s issues with us. We also do a lot more payback.

We pick pretty great friends.

Some girls may have a lot of friends in general, but for the most part, we know how to pick and keep the friends that are the most special. Through experience (of course) we learn how to see people and keep the ones who will stay by our side. Go us!

We have a pretty great fashion sense.

Yes, there are many times when we just want to lay around wearing sweats and not care if we match or not. But when we go out, we are really good at picking out outfits and rocking everything we wear. We know how to clean up pretty well, if I say so myself.

We each have one heck of an imagination.

Whether it is thinking about a boy or our future careers, we girls can think of some pretty vivid scenarios, even though we know deep down they may never come true. But the beautiful thing is we never stop dreaming. Even if we think of something that is impossible, we still dream it, because it makes us feel better. What we imagine can maybe even affect how others think, and who knows? Maybe in the end we do get the prince we’ve been dreaming about.

Never be ashamed of being a girl, because we are truly amazing people. No one should tell us that we are not good enough or are not capable of doing something. We are special and unique. We know how to make someone smile and make someone's day. We go through a lot, but we learn. We have the power to do anything, and no one should try and tell us otherwise. And hey, girls just want to have fun, right?

Us college students know all about the struggle of spending the day in the library. Whether you are writing a ten-page paper, studying for a biology exam, or struggling through math homework, you somehow find the strength to get to the library to get it all done.

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:
