Women have struggled in many ways through life. We have fought for a voice, to have rights, and to be taken seriously. We have come a long way, but we still have a long way to go. We get caught up in this world, and at times we feel confused, scared, and like we are always being scrutinized on how we do things and how we live our lives.

It is important to take a moment and remember how badass and strong women truly are. Take note how much we go through and how much we've accomplished in the past to create a better society overall for our future generations and for ourselves.

I hope you remember how strong, beautiful, smart, and badass you are. Take a moment to remember what the most important things in life are to you as you move forward. Beyoncé is here to help remind you when you forget.

1. Laugh often

Life gets too crazy, serious, and emotional. Remember to laugh and laugh often. Laughter is such a pure cure for a hard day.

2. Forgive and move forward

There is no one who is worth wasting your time. The longer you dwell on those who have wronged you, the longer it will take for you to move forward and better your life. So, be quick to forgive, move forward, and succeed. Trust me, you will feel so much better. Your heart will heal faster and your soul will feel lighter.

3. Independence

Don't expect others to always be there to give you what you want. Independence is very important. It helps you realize who you truly are and how far you can get independently. Later on, you will be glad you worked hard and did things on your own, proving to yourself that you are capable of many things.

4. Be true to yourself

You are your own personal cheerleader. Always be sure to remind yourself how valuable and outstanding you are. Don't let others try to tell you who you are and how to live your life. At the end of the day, the most important thing is that you are happy with who and where you are in your life.

5. Not all men are bad, but you also don't need your whole world to revolve around a man

Not all men are horrible, but not one man is worth your whole world to revolve around him. Do not forget about yourself, and acknowledge what you want in a relationship as well. Never let anyone tell you that your standards are too high.

6. Treat yourself

Don't forget to indulge and pamper yourself. You work hard as a independent women, mother, wife, sister, and friend. You deserve to be pampered every once in a while.

7. You are going to make mistakes, just shake it off

Everyone makes mistakes, it's how you handle them that makes the difference. Mistakes are just another way to gain a second chance. So, just shake it off and go back to the drawing board. You got this.

8. Confidence

Confidence is key. It's important to be confident in yourself. Don't be afraid to take new chances and put yourself out there. It is scary at times, but it could get your foot in the door in many situations.

9. Don't forget about the little things in life that matter

Spend time with friends and family. Eat that amazing burger and think about it after. Don't forget to take a moment and realized how blessed you are in life.

10. Judgement is everywhere

Everyone is quick to judge, and everyone will judge the way you live your life. At the end of the day, though, it's your life. What matters most is that you are content and happy with how you are living your life.

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
