1. "What if I forget something?"

The same stuff that's at the Target in your hometown will be at the one in your college town, so don't freak out.

2. "How many pairs of shoes are acceptable to bring for one semester?"

https://giphy.com/gifs/7JvlHfd7C2GDr7zfZF

The limit does not exist.

3. "How will I ever fit all of this in my car?"

https://giphy.com/explore/packing

Spoiler: You won't. Rent a U-HAUL or leave your pillows at home.

4. "I can't believe I spent $25 on a pillow just for it to sit on my bed all year. Oh well!"

If you're like me, you feel like you could be an interior designer after designing your dorm and $25 means nothing as long as it fits your aesthetic.

5. "Should I pack all five of these sweaters if it doesn't get cold until December?"

No, but you're going to anyway.

6. "Should I pack this t-shirt I haven't worn since sixth grade? I might want to sleep in it."

If you went that long without wearing it, you're not going to wear it in college.

7. "How many decorations are too many?"

Personally, I have at least 12 that I'm bringing for my dorm, so again, the limit doesn't exist.

8. "How is all of this going to fit into one tiny room?"

With lots of strategic planning and use of lots and lots of storage bins.

9. "How will I ever move all of this out in May?"

https://giphy.com/gifs/girls-weird-sassy-7DzlajZNY5D0I

That same U-HAUL you used to get it there? You might want to rent it again.

10. "Here goes nothing."

Cheers to freshman year, and hopefully that $100 mattress pad you bought will make all your emotional breakdowns at least a little more comfortable.

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:

It's okay to be crazy sometimes.

You never give up on the people you love.

Always know your own worth.

Don't take shit from anyone.

Tights are not pants. But leggings might be...

It's always okay to break down once in a while.

There's nothing that can't be solved by a shopping spree

Stay classy, even if you're pissed off.

You never need to act on your emotions.

No matter how rough it gets, it could always be worse.

Be dedicated to your own success.

And if people don't love you, that's okay.
