Today's millennial population, including myself, have grown accustomed to commodities such as Netflix, Hulu, and HBO. Instead of going out on a friday night, binge watching TV seems to be the new alternative. But what makes the television ever-so enticing? Our favorite characters, of course. The iconic and diverse characters of today's TV have created bonds with our youth. Audiences find comfort in finding characters that they can relate with. From flipping burgers with your dad, to dealing with the goons in the Parks Department, these 10 women are always there.

I mean, c'mon. She's Leslie Knope, guys.

A voice for all women plagued by quirkiness while simultaneously indulging in self love.

Teaching us that entering a room quietly is a complete waste of time.

For the days you want be reassured that being a recluse is acceptable.
