Five Bad-Ass Women to Inspire You in 2017

Everyone needs a little inspiration to start of the new year and a great way to end the first month of 2017 is to check out this list of bad-ass women. We all aspire to be bad-ass, but these women take it to another level. These women are powerful, motivational, smart, and have numerous talents. Warning: the first three women listed are featured in American Horror Story, a bad-ass show all on it's own.

1. Sarah Paulson

Sarah Paulson is the definition of fierce. Her recent rise in the public eye came with her appearance on FX's two hit television series's: American Horror Story and The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story. She's everything young women should aspire to be. She's intelligent, motivational, and confident.

2. Lily Rabe

Sarah Paulson's co-star on American Horror Story, Lily Rabe, is a beautiful talent. Her character in season three, Coven, "Misty Day" was innocent, but when it came to being strong, she was the symbol of strength. Basically how Lily Rabe is in real life. Look at this photo, it screams "confidence" and of course beauty.

3. Jessica Lange

One word: iconic. Jessica Lange is the baddest. She is a worldwide acclaimed actress, and is known for her attributions to film, theater, and television. She rose to fame in the film King Kong, has appeared on the first few seasons of American Horror Story, and is now going to be on FX's new show, Feud: Bette and Joan. In the new series, she co-stars with another bad-ass lady, Susan Sarandon.

4. J.K. Rowling

Does she need any explanation as to why she's bad-ass? I think not. Of course she's most known for being the author of the popular Harry Potter series. A interesting fact about her past: she was a single mother and was inspired to write the popular series while on a delayed train. J.K. Rowling has created a magical world, with some pretty powerful characters.

5. Emma Watson

She has it all. Emma Watson is more than an actress and a model, she's an activist. She speaks out frequently about women's rights, and is a UN Global Goodwill Ambassador. She also created the campaign "HeforShe," which you can find out more about on here.

This is a short list of bad-ass women we should aspire to be not only in 2017, but in our future. Aside from everything going on in the world today, these women continue to entertain and be innovative for a brighter tomorrow. Nowadays, young women need some serious guidance within the pop culture. Of course, we all have different opinions, but I think we can all agree on this-- these women are pretty bad-ass.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
