A Lesson On Change

I'm on the hunt for who I've not yet become.

A Lesson On Change

My life is in a period of transition. And it’s hard to think of this is a transition within a transition. I’m in college which is a transition into adulthood but I’m also changing in all the friendships and my personality.

I don’t like it.

I don't like this transition.

I’ve done so well when it came to being the type of person I am today, and I feel like the foundations on which I carry myself upon are being knocked down.

David Bowie's song "Changes," describes exactly how I feel right now— except, I’m I'm not making money off my changes. But I’m trying to stop the higher institution of college from changing me. I am resisting the change everyday.

I am trying to think of a way I can remain myself, but now I realize that I can’t.

I thought that listening to old music would remind me of myself, but how can I make sure I like the person I am in the future?

How can I ensure the future is going to be good? As someone once said, "time may change me, but I can’t trace time. You can’t follow time."

I can’t wait behind and wait to see if the water will calm and let that be the moment that I decide to live my life. I need to accept the fact that change is going to help me.

And resisting change will be the cause to my problems.

The Perks of Being a Girl

“I just want you to know that you’re very special… and the only reason I’m telling you is that I don’t know if anyone else ever has.”

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:
