an open letter to My mom as I leave for college

Dear Mom,

It feels like just this past year I started high school. It is crazy to think I am moving into college in a few weeks. High school flew by and I am starting to wish that I hadn't taken my a lot of my time with you for granted. I am thankful that I won't be going too far from you but I know I won't be seeing you every day or even every week.

First, I just wanted to say that yes I am going to miss you! I know that I reminded you all the time how many weeks or days were left until move-in day but I am a lot more upset than what is showing. It is going to be a hard adjustment for me too. It won't be the same not seeing you every single day. I will miss everything about you. I will miss seeing your face every day and I will miss always having my number one supporter around. I will even miss you constantly asking me what I want to eat and then saying I don't like anything (sorry for being so picky haha).

Secondly, I just want to let you know how thankful I am for you and for everything you have done for me over these past 18 years. Mom, thank you for loving me unconditionally. Thanks for dealing with me even when I am not being nice to you. Thanks for encouraging me through. Thanks for doing laundry, dishes, making meals, and driving me everywhere I wanted to go before I had my license. Thanks for allowing me to try every sport I wanted to and for being my biggest supporter throughout all of them.

Mom, I just want to apologize in advance for some things. I know that in college I will be busy and that I won't be able to talk all the time even if I really want to. But please don't take any delayed responses to heart, know that I will always text or call back when I can. No matter how old I get or where I go in life, I will always break down and need to get direction from you. I will always need to hear your voice.

Last thing, mom you will always be my best friend. I will always need you. I hope to make you so proud as I continue my education and walk into this new chapter of my life. I am excited but also very nervous to be starting college but I know i'll be okay because of you. Your constant love & support, advice, laughs to make me smile, and hugs while I've cried have all played a huge part in making me the person I am today. I'm proud to be your daughter and I am ready to start this new adventure.

Thank you again for everything! I love you with all my heart!

Love,

Your Daughter

The Perks of Being a Girl

“I just want you to know that you’re very special… and the only reason I’m telling you is that I don’t know if anyone else ever has.”

As frustrating and annoying as it can be, being a girl is really awesome. We are beautiful inside and out. Not a lot of people may see that, but girls have a ton of amazing qualities.

We have unique flirting skills.

Us girls have a significant way to flirt with other people. Even when we say the most random or awkward things, we have a way of making everything sound cute and planned. It’s just a gift; we’re good like that.

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:

11 Things You'll Understand If You Act Sassy AF But You're Actually A Really Nice Person

Ugh, why is it so hard to be mean?

If you are like me, you have an interesting personality. Basically, you love to be sassy and snarky, gossip, and act like a total bitch (not really), but deep down, you are actually a very genuinely nice person. The idea of actually hurting someone truly makes you feel bad, and you probably have never actually hurt someone’s feelings because your kindness always shines through, even if you do not want it to. Not sure exactly what I would call this type of personality, but if you identify with it, here are some feelings you can undoubtedly relate to.

Queen B always had the best life lessons.

It's okay to be crazy sometimes.

You never give up on the people you love.

Always know your own worth.

Don't take shit from anyone.

Tights are not pants. But leggings might be...

It's always okay to break down once in a while.

There's nothing that can't be solved by a shopping spree

Stay classy, even if you're pissed off.

You never need to act on your emotions.

No matter how rough it gets, it could always be worse.

Be dedicated to your own success.

And if people don't love you, that's okay.

“I just want you to know that you’re very special… and the only reason I’m telling you is that I don’t know if anyone else ever has.”

We have unique flirting skills.

We know how to fight back.

We pick pretty great friends.

We have a pretty great fashion sense.

We each have one heck of an imagination.

Ugh, why is it so hard to be mean?

1. You are honestly kind of offended when people say you are a nice person

2. People think it’s cute when you act sassy

3. You always have people who annoy you but will not stop following you around

4. You often have trouble deciding how you want to present yourself to people

5. You have probably never actually hurt someone’s feelings

6. Finding friends is such a struggle

7. But actually, that is a joke because your flexible personality allows you to be friends with many people

8. You are secretly kind of (actually downright) jealous of queen bees, especially those from TV shows

9. You often read articles with titles such as “24 Reasons You're A Sasshole,” thinking they are going to be so relatable….

10. Sometimes you get really mad and wish you could actually come across as a total bitch…

11. …but at the end of the day, you are thankful for how nice you are
