Sometimes you get into those moods where you need to blast some music and dance around to sassy girl power music with your girls. The next time you’re in that mood, cue up this playlist!

1. "Bad Reputation"- Joan Jett & The Blackhearts

When you feel like being a girl comes with too many criteria of what you have to do to be perfect, give these lyrics a listen and stop giving a damn.

2. "Me Too"- Meghan Trainor

You can’t be too obsessed with yourself, right?

3. "Pretty Hurts"- Beyonce

From "Single Ladies" to "Who Run The World" to "Diva", Bey certainly has a few girl power anthems, but none that describe the struggle to break the beauty obsession gripping women today like "Pretty Hurts" does.

4. "Man! I Feel Like A Woman"- Shania Twain

There’s no better song to hear when you want to celebrate being a woman...and if you need another excuse to have a night of fun for no reason, here it is.

5. "Love Myself"- Hailee Steinfeld

Despite the multiple meanings of this song, it’s about self love...in many ways.

6. "Confident"- Demi Lovato

In case the title doesn’t say it all, Demi’s backstory is about getting through years of self-doubt to love herself and eventually make a song that’s all about--well, what else? Confidence.

7. "Hurricane"- Halsey

All of Halsey’s music is about being a strong woman, but this song in particular is great.

8. "Pretty Girls"- Maggie Lindemann (Cheat Codes X Cade Remix)

She’s telling the world there’s more to her than her looks, and it’s a great dancing song, so what could be better?

9. "Most Girls"- Hailee Steinfeld

If you want to know why this song is great, check out this article I wrote on it.

10. "BO$$"- Fifth Harmony

Women can be as cute as Fifth Harmony AND work for their own money. Independent women, it’s time to dance.

11. "Masterpiece"- Jessie J

With all of these songs by strong women, it’s easy to think you need to be perfect right now. Here’s one to remind you it’s okay to still be working on yourself.

12. "Fight Song"- Rachel Platten

Girls can make incredible comebacks, and this song’s to that.

13. "Hair"- Lady Gaga

Any woman who’s ever been told they care too much about their hair will feel justified when they listen to this song. Guys just can’t understand.

14. "Sit Still, Look Pretty"- Daya

Women are here for way more than dressing cute and being eye candy, and Daya (and your friends, obviously) are ready to sing that to the world.

15. "Rock N' Roll"- Avril Lavigne

Refreshingly, this is a song that celebrates breaking the mold and being a girl who does whatever she wants, BUT in the song she is still with a guy--showing it’s just as okay to celebrate girl power in a relationship as it is outside of one.

16. "America’s Sweetheart"- Elle King

This song uses the stereotype of America’s Sweetheart to joke about how she will never be one, and how girls don’t need to aspire to be either.

17. "Try"- Colbie Caillat

Trying too hard is every middle schooler’s problem, and every grown woman's duty to sing away.

18. "Just A Girl"- No Doubt

For anyone feeling underestimated.

19. "Who Says"- Selena Gomez

A song about letting go of anyone who has ever told you you can’t do something, and doing it anyway.

20. "Not Your Way"- Misterwives

If you've ever been annoyed at women's current issues being swept under the rug because we should "look around and appreciate how far we've come", this song is for you.

21. "Wings"- Little Mix

Little Mix is a girl group full of girl power. All of their songs are empowering, but this one is especially good.

22. "You Don't Own Me"- Grace ft. G-Easy

For anyone who's ever had a partner try to make you "theirs" before you were your own, this is the song to blast.

23. "Who You Are"- Jessie J

Another song about giving up beauty ideals and deciding you look good the way you are, because you can never have enough.

24. "Woman"- Kesha

If you don't like cursing, skip this song. Otherwise, put it on twice.

25. "Who Said"- Hannah Montana

There’s just no way a good girl’s night can end in anything but a Hannah Montana throwback, it’s true.

Add and drop songs as you please, but make sure you have a night full of girl power and sass!

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
