To The Girl Who Struggled, Your Future Self Is Smiling

Since there are lots of new and exciting things happening in my life, I decided to write a letter to myself In the future. It can be read in a year or maybe two, just have to reflect on everything that's happening up to this point in my life.

Hello Sunshine,

We're currently sitting at the MSC, time is 9:50 am, reflecting on what your life has been this far. You should be studying for O'Chem, writing your Nutrition flashcards, or studying for Nutrition but instead, you've decided to reflect on the path you've taken. Life has been rough. At this time last year, your whole life was flipped upside down. I bet you did not know that it'd be bumpy from then on.

But I'm proud to say that I'm doing better than I was before. I hope that a year or two from now, that attitude continues and you're ultimately happy. People have come into your life this past year, that have made you understand why life is so beautiful and I pray that they're still in your life and you're still as close as you are now.

A year or two from now, you should be working or at least finding your place in the workforce. I hope that you are a Registered Dietician because to get to that point, your girl has struggled. That's always something we've been passionate about, but we never did anything about it because we thought we would end up going into pharmacy.

I also hope that everything is better in your family. Things have been rocky for quite some time, I can't remember the last time there wasn't drama.

I just pray that there are civil attitudes on both sides, or at least, a friendship between your parents. Is that is possible? I mean there's nothing wrong with hoping that's the way things are.

I hope you're not so negative and not as stressed as you typically are. Let me tell you how much I struggle with keeping my composure.

I also hope that you no longer feel like a burden every time you need to ask someone for something or need someone to talk to because you are definitely not that at all. It's been hard to understand that but only time can help. It's funny to think that at this time next year or the following year, you'll be wiser and have more advice for a younger self. You'll be writing to your past self (aka me). You'll read this and tell yourself that I had no idea what my life was going to be. I hope that there is nothing but blessings.

I'm becoming the person I want to become and I can only hope that in the future I am who I wanted to be. Take care future, Sam. You've made it this far. Trust God and have faith.

Love,

The Girl With Hope

Here you will find a list of many of the people you will come across in your life, and if you're lucky, you'll be able to give a name to all these characters that you hopefully see day to day. Don't take these friends for granted because they all add a little something to your life, and if you can't name all of them to your personal friends, chances are it might be you...

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:
