May we know them, be them and raise them!

Elizabeth Smart

TEDx University of Nevada 2014

Kidnapped at age fourteen from her bedroom in the middle of the night, and tortured for nine months before coming to her own rescue, Smart has taken the life-changing experience and used it as her vocation. Author, educator and advocate, Smart is a fabulous example of a strong, brave woman who uses her experience as good.

Jaclyn Hill

See on Instagram

Starting a career in makeup from the ground up with the use of YouTube, Hill is a trailblazer in the social media influencer world. Facing much adversity (a divorce, failed makeup brand launch, mental health struggles), Hill's ability to bounce back serves as an inspiration to us all. Her trademark reliability and honesty are traits that have her subscribers watching her videos over and over.

Kate Middleton

Real-life Cinderella! Kate went from an average woman to married to the future King of England. Imagine all she had to figure out! Her poise and grace while doing so are admirable from any point of view. The dedicated mother, activist and on the side photographer always is on point no matter what!

Michelle Obama

Obamas and Bidens Open USO Show

The former First Lady set a great example for others while in office and outside! While focusing on health initiatives, Michelle helped us all get healthier by encouraging clean eating and plenty of exercise. She was a pioneer in the political world.

Kim Kardashian West

See on Instagram

Say what you will about the Kardashians, they do know how to be businesswomen. Kim has created an empire. CEO and founder of Skims, KKW Beauty, KKW Fragrance and more, Kim is a certifiable boss babe. Juggling it all can't be easy, but she sure makes it look it!

Selena Gomez

See on Instagram

No matter what Selena does, she does it well. Whether it's being a wizard, releasing new hit music or being a fight for social and political rights, Selena Gomez makes her mark.

Serena Williams

See on Instagram

How could there be a list of strong women without including the most powerful female athlete in the world? Serena (and sister Venus) are straight-up examples of girl power! I mean just look at her and her daughter empowering others!

Ashley Graham

See on Instagram

Ashley Graham continues to break boundaries in the fashion world. While advocating for positive body image and self-love, she continues to do what others have not in the modeling industry.

Angelina Jolie

Actor, mother and humanitarian, Jolie seems to do it all. She has expanded her family by adopting many children and giving them unconditional love and support as well as donating much of her earnings to numerous organizations.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg

Imagine being a part of the monumental decision to legalize same-sex marriage. The infamous RBG is a part of the reason we are able to live in a country where we have this right. Talk about a trailblazer. Ruth continues to fight for rights while making firsts as a woman!

Ellen DeGeneres

Ellen has been a leader in the LGBTQ+ community and inspires to enjoy life and laugh a lot. She has paved the way in the entertainment world while setting a fine example to embrace ourselves!

While there are many others, these are some of my personal favorites that I look to for inspiration every day! May we all continue to be, know, and encourage others as strong women!

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college 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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
