How to be a Bad B!

“I don’t have to prove anything to anyone. I only have to follow my heart and concentrate on what I want to say to the world. I run my world.” -Beyoncé

Don’t rely on other people!

High school is often based on how many friends you have and what new boyfriend or girlfriend you have. At this point in time, my longest relationships have been with my closest girlfriends; boys aren’t going to be there for you in the long run.

Know your worth!

Don’t let people— especially MEN talk down on you. Know what you’re capable of; don’t be afraid to stand up for yourself even if that threatens people.

Take risks!

YOLO!!!!

Make goals for yourself.

As women, we aren’t expected to do a lot with our lives; you should ignore this by making goals for yourself and accomplishing things ignorant people thought you couldn’t. Prove them wrong, prove any man that thought you weren’t good enough wrong, prove the women in your life that did not believe in you wrong. Be a great success!

Work hard, play hard!

Many ladies out there understand how draining it can be to be a working woman: Little relaxation time and a whole lot of stress especially with juggling school, work, and a social life. Those few weeks that we do learn how to balance the three are the best. We feel productive and we also get the chance to allow ourselves to have some fun.

Don’t worry about being normal.

Normal people don’t stand out, it’s boring to be basic! Be an original person!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Support other females.

Often times, we see other women and become envious and lose ourselves. Support what your female friends are trying to do, support women that you don’t even know, publicly support them! There are female writers who are shamed for being too open and emotional, there are female singers who are accused of sleeping their way to the top, there are female political figures who are accused of not being able to handle the power because of their “hormones” so obviously we could use all the support we can get. If men won’t respect us, and women are disrespecting each other because they’re jealous, who do we have?

Know who you are.

People who get easily offended don’t know who they are and that’s why they believe what other people have to say about them. If you know what kind of person you are, what other people say can’t hurt you.. as much.
