Dear Long Distance Best Friends

Distance, although tough, does make the heart grow fonder.

Dear Long Distance Best Friends,

There are so many things that I want to tell you but over text or Facetime is not the place to do it. I wish you were all here with me but distance makes the heart grow fonder.

  1. Thank you for being my worst critics but my absolute number one fans. Without you I would not be half the person I am today. Thank you for always pushing me through the hard, long nights of college when I buried waist deep in papers, without you I would have drowned. Thank you for constantly checking up on me because being away from home and you guys has clearly not been the easiest on me.
  2. I know you will make new best friends and that somedays I will be just a faint face in the back of your mind and others your thoughts will be occupied by my stupid jokes. I hope that your new friends will treat you with the utmost respect because you deserve nothing less than perfection. If they don’t treat you how I would treat you then please have the slightest bit of self-awareness to leave that toxic friendship because then that is all you will expect.
  3. When we return on breaks know that thing will have changed and there is nothing we can do about it. I will come back with words you have never heard before and you the same. DO NOT get frustrated when I say “wicked” or “mad” or any other New England term because it comes naturally in the habitat. All of my stories will be with people you have no idea and I do appreciate you trying to memorize all of their names even though 6 of them are all named Matt and 3 of them are all named Chris, it will only get easier from here.
  4. Never forget that I am proud of everything you have accomplished and all that you are to become because any accomplishment, no matter how small, is a huge deal! Even when you fail an assignment know that I will be in your corner, rooting you on because I will NEVER give up on you, especially on your hardest days.
  5. If we grow distant, please know that I am trying my best to keep up with you and we could go days without talking. Please understand that I did not forget about just our schedules do not line up but I am ALWAYS thinking about you.

I love you all so much and no one could ever replace you. Forever and always my loves!

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.”

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:
