There are many stereotypes of college kids. People watch movies, read books, and see news about the "typical" college kid. People who didn't go to college don't know what it's actually like and stereotype us college kids a bunch of different ways.

1. All college students party every night.


This is one of the biggest stereotypes. I can honestly say I can count how many parties I've been to in college on one hand, as can many of my friends. Some students party a lot, but I don't know anyone who parties every night. This is just irrational.

2. College students sleep all the time.

This is one of my favorites. Do people really think that we sleep all the time? I'm lucky to get 8 hours once a week.

3. College kids eat so unhealthy.


I have friends who are vegetarian, gluten free, vegan, and who eat clean. More than one of each, actually. College kids are seriously worried about their diets.

4. They're all in sororities/fraternities.


I have a handful of friends in a sorority/fraternity but most of them aren't. Most of them don't have the time or the money to make a commitment like that.

5. All college kids wear sweats to class.

Sure, sometimes we all want to wear out sweatpants but not everyday. I don't know anyone who always dresses down for class. It's nice to look nice!

Again, there are MANY stereotypes of college students. Not all college students fall into them. In fact, not even most fall into these stereotypes. My college experience definitely hasn't been stereotypical and most people I know can say the same.

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.

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:
