Why I Will Never Apologize for Being An Alpha Female

We're the group of women who run the world.

Why I Will Never Apologize for Being An Alpha Female

I live for the intimidating girls; the girls who get sh*t done, who don't need someone by their side to feel accomplished or proud, the go getters. Recently, I've been told by others that I should feel badly for being who I am. I've been told that I should apologize for how I act, how I say things, my attitude. The thing is, however, I will never apologize for being an alpha female because I love who I am.

I'm able to take criticism and use it to my advantage. I know that criticism, the "bad", is something that I can learn from. I don't take it as something that is harmful, or anything like that; it's a learning opportunity, a way to improve.

Alpha females are the girls who don't take anyone's excuses. Because you rep what you sow. I'll never understand people who expect the best, yet, can't seem put the work, and time or find the effort to put into getting what they want. If it's truly something that you want, go get it. Work your ass off, don't complain, and keep going. You'll see the rewards of it all.

We like being in power. Why not? We live in a world that is somewhat male dominant. Why should I be dumbed down because of my sex? I'm not saying, by any means, that men are less than I am; males and females are equals.

I LOVE being independent. From a very young age, my parents instilled the idea of relying on no one but myself, into me. I was told that if I wanted to get something done, that sometimes I'd have to do it myself; whether it was my responsibility or not. If I wanted something, I had to work for it, and expect no one to help me.

We're realists. We don't sugar coat stuff because frankly, we don't see the point of it. If something happens, we handle it. We don't panic, we don't get scared. We don't have time for that. We assess the situation, look at our options and go from there.

My confidence isn't something that has to be said. When I walk into a room, people know who I am. They can tell that I have a sense of who I am. They know that I am confident in myself. It's not something that I have to tell people. It's the way I walk, the way I talk; it's in everything that I do.

I know there is a difference between wanting to be liked and being respected. Everyone wants to be well liked, me included, but I do not need the approval of everyone. I know that people will not like me and I respect that. Not everyone has to like me, they should, however, respect me.

I'm not scared to ask for what I want. Everyone deserves to be happy, and to get what they want. I'm not an exception to this.

Alpha females are the girls who get sh*t done. They're the girls who are in your Biology class, participating, and showing up every day. They're the girls who don't take no for an answer. They're to go-getters and the takers.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
