We Might Lose a K-Pop Feminist Icon
K-Pop Wikia

This is Miss A.

As you can see, Miss A is a Korean Pop girl group include current members Fei, Min, and Suzy. They had a fourth member, Jia, but she left the group last year after not renewing her contract with her and Miss A's company, JYP Entertainment. Miss A has been active in music until 2016 when they made their last comeback as a foursome with their single "Only You" from their album Colors. Since then, many fans question (and wish it won't come true) if they will break up once their contracts expires by the end of this month. Despite this, Miss A was one of the girl groups who were closest to be preach feminism (or some cases girl power) in their music. Since their debut, Miss A released great music on standing up for yourself as a woman whether its in a relationship or anyone who calls a woman a "slut." While, yes, all of their songs were mostly written by men like their boss Jin-Young Park, Miss A still have great songs on being a strong woman.

I mean, who could forget the classics like "Bad Girl, Good Girl."


"On the outside, I’m a Bad Girl.

On the inside, I’m a Good Girl.

You don’t even know me well, you only look at me from the outside.

I find your gaze to be funny because you see me as a pitiful girl."

Or maybe songs that are rare to find like "I Don't Need a Man"


Boy don’t say

“I’ll take care of you, I’ll cherish you” no no

Boy don’t play

If you’re not gonna come with a serious mind

I can live well without a man

So if you’re not confident,

Don’t come to me

I don’t sell myself

Easily because

I don’t need a man I don’t need a man

Or how about their best revenge song in a break-up smash hit, "Good-bye Baby"?


There will be no whining

sound from you anymore

The snake passed the wall

and gently betrayed me

It was quite an amazing show that I watched,

even without buying a ticket

I just didn’t get this spot for free,

no. Now it’s bye bye

Or their sensual song, "Hush?"


"Stop stealing glances at me, I already caught you

Stop smiling and turn around

You’re tastier than a lollipop

I want to bite you, I want you"

So if Miss A do decide to breakup, they will join fellow K-Pop girls groups such as 4minute, Kara, Rainbow, and 2NE1 who also grace women empowerment as the next disbanded K-Pop girl group. No matter what happens, Miss A's music will live on along with their powerful message of feeling like a strong woman.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
