Listen up teen girls -- actually listen up all girls, of any age.
Michelle Obama dropped some major life advice Tuesday at Glamour's "The Power of an Educated Girl" event in Harlem, New York City. She told girls to "compete with the boy," nay "beat the boys."
"There is no boy, at this age, cute enough or interesting enough to stop you from getting an education," Obama added. “If I had worried about who liked me and who thought I was cute when I was your age, I wouldn’t be married to the President of the United States."
Then she dropped the mic (kind of). All hail, FLOTUS.

While we wish she would've taken it one step further and said girls really should be aspiring to be the president, not just marry one, we appreciated the sentiment, nonetheless.
