If You're Having A Bad Day, Read Me
Magic 4 Walls

It seems like this time of the year bad days happen more often than they should. I am guilty of letting little things bother me. The little things build up and instantly ruin my day. But there's a lot of good things you may not realize when you are down in the dumps. There are so many more beautiful things in your life that you are ignoring because of the bad things that are going on in your life. Here are a few examples:

1. You are loved.

By your friends and family, they love you unconditionally. Maybe they caused your bad day, just remember at the end of the day they love you unconditionally just as you love them back.

2. You are important.

I am guilty of feeling like I don't matter to anyone. This is wrong. You are important. Your message, your life, and what you do with it matter. It may be hard to believe because you may not get recognition for things you deserve, but everything you do is important and means something.

3. You are strong.

On your worst the only thing you can do is move forward and learn from situation. It's okay to be sad, but what you learn from each situation makes you who you are and stronger everyday.

4. You are beautiful.

Inside and out, you are beautiful. Remember the good you do and the smiles you bring to people. That's what beauty is. Being able to touch people's lives and make their days by the simplest actions.

5. You are making a difference.

Success doesn't happen over night. It may seem like you are making as much progress as you want, but just remember good things take time. You may fail, but you what learn from that moment will define you as a person.

6. You deserve to be happy.

Let the bad things go and focus on the things that make you smile and who you are. Life is too short to let the negative aspects of your life control how you feel and live your life.

7. The sun will rise.

It may seem like your world is collapsing in front of your eyes, but it's not. Just a bump in the road. Don't lose sight of your goals or who you are.

Smile, everything is going to be okay <3

On the Upper East Side, Blair Waldorf is an icon. She's what every girl aspires to be. She's beautiful, confident, and can handle any obstacle that life throws at her. Sure, she may just be a television character. But for me, she's a role model and theres a lot that can be learned from Queen B.

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.”

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:

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.
