It is important for us to have role models. By having someone to look up to, it can inspire us to do better and be better. While I have found it hard to find women in the news/media that are worthy of being looked up to, these 12 women definitely inspire me to be a girl boss.

Jessica Alba

I mean not only is she a successful actress being in movies like "The Fantastic Four" but she also created The Honest Company, which she created because she wanted safe and effective products for her children to use.

Sandra Bullock

Though she is now known as "Bird Box Lady", I have been inspired by Sandra Bullock since I watched her kick butt in "Miss Congeniality" way back when. Bullock also has two children which she adopted because she wanted to be a mom.

The Duchess of Sussex: Meghan Markle

In 2018, the whole world watched Meghan Markle marry the love of her life. Before she was royal, Markle played Rachel Zane in the show "Suits" where she also played a powerful female character. Markle was married once before, but she did not let a bad relationship get in the way of finding the true love of her life and becoming a princess.

Catherine Giudici Lowe

One-half of one of the most lovable couples to come from "The Bachelor." Catherine is a mom to two sons and wife to Sean Lowe. The love she has for her family and God is exponential.

Maggie Greene Rhee

Maggie Rhee has come a long way on "The Walking Dead." Though she is absent from most of Season 9, Maggie has grown into one of the best leaders the show has seen.

*Bonus* She is a single mom in the zombie apocalypse.

Desiree Hartsock Siegfried

One-half of another favorite, but forgotten, couple that resulted from form "The Bachelorette." Desiree is a mom, but she also has her own wedding gown business that features her own designs.

Taylor Swift

You cannot deny that, recently, Taylor Swift has been a total Girl Boss. Taylor did something that most artists can't, and that is totally transition from one music genre to another. Look what you made her do, am I right?

Danai Gurira

She is just amazing, end of story.

Misty Copeland

She did not let ANYTHING get in the way of her living her dream. Don't let anything get in your way.

Emma Watson

Not only did she get to play the ultimate Girl Boss, Hermione Granger, but Emma Watson is just as much of a boss as her character. After she finished filming the most popular franchise in movie history, Watson went to Brown University to get her bachelor's degree in English Literature.

 J.K. Rowling

She has been a role model for many since the early nineties. She created a world that took people to places they could have never imagined.

Julie Andrews

She needs no explaining as to why you should look up to her. She is just a staple role model. After all, she is the Queen of Genovia.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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?
