The girl crush has hit hard for many of us this year. There are so many outstanding women around the world right now. It's hard to only pick a few of them, so I did what any rational person would do and asked around. Here are a few of the answers I got when I asked who the biggest girl crushes of 2015 were.


1. Jennifer Lawrence aka J. Law:

You knew she would be on this list because there is no escaping how much we all love her. J. Law is the girl you just know you could be best friends with if you only had the chance. You hang on every word she says because she seems so genuine, and you definitely wouldn’t mind being able to borrow all of her clothes. She goes to dinner with Adele and Emma Stone. You know you'd take that squad over Taylor Swift's any day. Of course, we can’t talk about J-Law without talking about her latest BFF...


2. Amy Schumer:

Schumer is hands down one of everyone's favorites. She has one of the funniest television shows on the air right now. Schumer is your ballsy intelligent best friend who speaks her mind whenever she opens her mouth. When she’s not busy making us all pee our pants laughing or landing book deals, she’s looking fierce posing topless for a calendar.


3. Krysten Ritter:

Ritter as Jessica Jones, aka your spirit animal, on Netflix, is one of the best things you’ll see all year. The short-lived “Don’t Trust the B**** in Apartment 23,” introduced Ritter to a more widespread audience, if you hadn’t already seen her in “Veronica Mars.” However, the gritty “Jessica Jones,” is where she really shines. You’ll want to bring Ritter along to any girl’s night out just to watch her snap back at any skeezy pick-up lines, because you know she would be a girl who has your back.


4. Kerry Washington:

Washington has everything you look for in a girl crush. She’s intelligent, beautiful, kind, and you want to borrow everything she has. When she isn’t busy playing your favorite girl Olivia Pope on “Scandal,” she is working on The Allstate Foundation’s Purple Purse. Purple Purse is designed to help women escape domestic violence and financially abusive situations.


5. Margot Robbie:

Robbie is definitely the breakout star girl crush of 2015. She’s beautiful, charitable, and she slapped Leonardo DiCaprio during her audition for “The Wolf of Wall Street.” She’ll be on screen in August of 2016, alongside Jared Leto’s Joker, as Harley Quinn in “Suicide Squad.” You can see her in March of 2016 in “Whisky Tango Foxtrot,” alongside your longtime girl crush, Tina Fey.


6. Lupita Nyong’o:

Nyong’o, best known for her work in “12 Years a Slave,” is the it girl. From her edgy red carpet looks to her role in “Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens,” the Academy Award-winning actress can do no wrong. The stunning Nyong’o is also the Global Elephant Ambassador for WildAid and speaks five languages. She is the first Kenyan and the second African actress to win an Academy Award. If you weren’t girl crushing on her before, you should be now.


7. Emma Watson:


Watson, of “Harry Potter” fame, has earned a spot for herself in all of our hearts. The gorgeous humanitarian is well spoken, but more importantly, she is outspoken when it comes to what she believes in. A UN Women Goodwill Ambassador since July of 2014, Watson is serious about women’s issues on a global scale, which is just another reason why you should be crushing on her. She’ll be back on screen as Belle in the live-action adaptation of “Beauty and the Beast,” in 2017.


8. Adele:

Let’s be real, Adele is having the best year ever. Not only is she beautiful and loves cursing just as much as the rest of us do, but she sold more albums in a week than Taylor Swift did all year. If you were lucky enough to get tickets to one of her shows, please know the rest of us hate you and will be crying at home with Adele blaring through our speakers that night.


9. Malala Yousafzai:

Yousafzai lived in Pakistan under Taliban rule until 2012, when she was shot in the head. In 2014, she became the youngest person to receive the Nobel Peace Prize. Her autobiography, “I am Malala: The Girl Who Stood Up for Education and Was Shot by the Taliban,” was released in 2013 and the documentary, ”He Named Me Malala,” was released earlier this year. Despite being considered a target by terrorist groups, Yousafzai still continues to be an advocate for female education and peace worldwide. Most recently, she’s been outspoken about U.S. presidential candidate, Donald Trump.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
