The "I'm A Strong, Independent Woman" Playlist

First off, I am not a man hater. I am in a loving, wonderful relationship and I wouldn't change a thing about it. However, I am also a college educated woman with ambitions and goals. These two do not need to be mutually exclusive. I am all for dropping the mic one moment on issues revolving around women's rights, and slow dancing with lots of PDA the other moment. We are multi-faceted individuals. We have no need for boxes because not only do we think outside the box but we will break down the walls and keep running. So for all my ladies who wear their independence loud and proud, this playlist is for you.

1. Independent Women Part 1 by Destiny's Child

If you’re an independent woman, throw your hands up at me!

2. Fighter by Christina Aguilera

We all know we wouldn't be as strong as we are now if we didn't have those people and situations that put us through a world of hurt because now we are wiser and better.

3. Jar of Hearts by Christina Perri


The chorus is the anthem of every woman who has had their heart broken only to come out stronger in the end.

4. Sit Still, Look Pretty by Daya

Because society shouldn’t dictate what you do with yourself, only you can do that.

5. Confident by Demi Lovato

This song makes me happy on so many levels.

6. Castle by Halsey (*Language Warning*)

Subtle but effective.

7. I Love It by Icona Pop

Most of us have probably met someone at some point who seemed to be from a different planet. If you are lucky, sometimes you can make it gel. Other times, you are two sails passing in the wind. But either way, love yourself and you will learn to move on.

8. Hell No by Ingrid Michaelson

Not sure about the video, but the lyrics are on point.

9. Roar by Katy Perry

Because I personally believe we could all use a little more Katy Perry in our lives. But, this is also just a great song.

10. NO by Meghan Trainor

Nah to the ah to the no no no.

11. Blow Me (One Last Kiss) by P!nk

Throwin' it back with the original badass, independent lady, P!nk.

12. Same Old Love by Selena Gomez

Because her sweet, cool, calm way of saying good bye has been all of us at some point.

13. Elastic Heart by Sia

There is definitely a lot of deep meaning behind this music video that I am not going to get in too, but the lyrics are strong and an excellent reminder of the elasticity of the human heart.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

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.
