Millennials: the generation that's lazy yet accomplished, non-intimate yet extremely sexually active, careless yet careful -- but sh*t, we can generate a mean hashtag.
Females that have preceded our generation have bashfully thrown the term gold digger around as light humor for their success in ‘marrying up’ and achieving sub-par professional goals – the term entered everyday vocabulary when Kanye West’s tune topped music charts.
This isn’t to say that a wealth of successful and intelligent women haven’t paved the way for us younger gals, but marrying into money has not been tossed out of the list of priorities for finding a life partner as a piece of advice from the older individuals in our lives.
In a day and
age when scrutiny of women is at an all time high, it can be intimidating to be
bold about your career intentions and allow your drive to guide you through
life. Not every woman on this planet is as googly-eyed over the potential

I’m a woman who loves to get what she wants, but only after being put through the ringer to make it happen – this is true for all aspects of life, from personal to professional, academic to career, friendship to romance, and everything else in between.

YoPro women have a new title for themselves that pokes fun at gold digger and gives it a whole new attitude: #GoalDigger. This has got to be the best thing we have come up with so far, and there are so many ways that making it your motto will help you rule the world, achieve your aspirations, and improve your life entirely.
You're not digging for men with goals you're digging for your own goals and empowering yourself to go through the trials and tribulations to cross that finish line and make your life happen.
Aliza Licht can teach you all you need to know to "land your dream job, kill it in your career, and rock your social media" in her New York Times bestselling Leave Your Mark, and you can read up on Internships for Dummies day in and day out, but, actually philosophizing the ideas that encompass this new hashtag and, really, way of life is what will exponentially better your outcomes.
Sure, karma isn't simply a myth and luck is truly a factor in achievement, yet your hustling will never let you down -- it will never not text you back, and while it may be the bane of your existence on occasion, you'll always see it as worth it when you hit your triumphant end point.
