Why Every Woman Should Watch "The Bold Type"
Vice

Last week was the premiere of Freeform's new TV show , "The Bold Type" . Not going to lie, I was skeptical at first about the show but I had seen the promo all over and I could not watch any other show without a trailer popping up. So, on Tuesday night I decided to give it a try and I am so happy I did.

The show is inspired by former editor-in-chief of "Cosmopolitan" Joanna Coles and it surrounds three young women. Jane (played by Katie Stevens), who just became a full-time writer, Kat who is the Social Media Director (played by Aisha Dee), and another who is an assistant (played by Meghann Fahy). These women are close friends and they try to navigate through their crazy/busy lives.

After each episode, this show made me feel empowered with its message of taking a risk in your work and personal life. The characters challenge themselves professionally and personally by putting themselves out there. They count and depend on one another for support and guidance. We cannot go through life on our own and we shouldn't. The show is all about women building each other up instead of tearing each other down. As a 21 year-old women, I look up to so many women that create their own pave ways and support other women in their own journeys. In this generation, we are all constantly trying to be better than everyone else by wanting the most likes on Instagram or the most friends on Facebook.

"The Bold Type," is the perfect show for those women still trying to figure out life and who value friendship. The show is all about tapping into your greatest potential and creating a support system; it is also about finding your passion and not giving up on it. Life is too short to work a job you do not enjoy doing, take a risk, and go for the job of your dreams.

Even though, "The Bold Type' has just premiered, it is the show that this generation needs. Its message of women empowerment and living your dreams. I cannot wait what else this show has in store for their viewers.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.

All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
