An Open Letter To Jennifer Lawrence

"I'm a big believer in accepting yourself and not really worring about it." -- Jennifer Lawrence

People Magazine

Dear Jennifer,

Can I call you Jen? Okay, great.

Jen, you are someone who I would greatly consider being best friends with on any given day and yes, I know that's what every other person on the planet says but honestly, it's the truth. Every single time you do press and you hold nothing back which makes you that much better. I prefer people to be more open, honest and have a great sense of humor, especially if they end up having to make fun of themselves. Like who else does that all time (minus a few comedians here and there)?!

You're the kind of person I would rather spend a Friday night in with, jamming to some Adele, watching a marathon of ALL the Housewives while indulging in comfort food while our dogs chill. I mean, we're both 20-something grannies, so can we please do this sometime?

You gave a quote in the September 2013 issue of Vogue which I think many of young Hollywood can relate to and even those in the industry after x-amount of films/projects now will agree on and as a female, college student and public relations major, I find truth in it. To quote you, "I'm still getting used to everything. It makes me a little emotional to see how quickly everything changes -- that it changes so fast."

That fact that you are so open minded to speaking when it comes to issues (like the now Pres.-elect Trump, your hacking scandal and most importantly, being underpaid as a female actress in Hollywood in the now famous Lenny letter), is something we, not just as females, need but as a whole society. I think most of us are afraid of suffering the actions and consequences of speaking our mind so we play it safe and go along with what others say/do, but you stand against the grain and grit, hold your own and do it without apologies. That speaks louder to me rather than two people having a debate trying to one up each other in a contest of who is thinks who is better.

The things that you do keep personal and private, your love life for example and not using social media (with the exception of using Facebook page from time to time), is refreshing. A fair amount of the time social media pops up, it normally has something to do with someone feuding or some other negative story that makes us wonder how much colder can our world get so I applaud you for staying clear of it.

Thank you for helping building confidence in not only myself, but young females everywhere when it came to our looks. You give such empowerment when it comes to your body and with girls constantly striving to look like the girl(s) in the magazine, even those girls don't look like themselves, it has helped us become more accepting of our flaws.

Last, but not least, every single time you work a red carpet, I stand in awe. Aside from your contract with Dior, you always manage to pull of the most beautiful gowns that we all dream of wearing (The Dior skirt and sweater you wore for the Passengers photo call in Paris was breathtaking.) and the styles that most any 'everyday' girl could wear and I will admit to having serious hair envy you with that bob/lob that you have ever since growing your pixie cut out. I'd love to have a girls' day out and go on a shopping spree with you -- just let me know when, okay?

Much love (from your "future" friend),

Savannah.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
