Here's To The Girls Who Build Each Other Up

Throughout today's society, girls are known for being petty, jealous, and brutal. They compete with each other, tearing each other down in any way possible in order to feel as they are "winning."

Thank goodness I am surrounded by girls who have chosen to do the opposite.

I count myself very lucky to have girls in my life who choose to reject the norm. These girls replace competition with encouragement, and are always willing to lend a hand to someone in need.

These are the girls who find the good in every aspect of life, who make the most of every moment, and who love everyone they come in contact with.

This one is for you guys.

Thank you all for daring to be different.

You guys have realized that we're all in this life together, and its a little easier to go through when you have people who support you by your side. You bear each other's burdens; you rejoice together when life is going well, and you hope for better days together when life is tough. You never let anyone you love feel alone. You're always the person right there by anyone's side through everything. You are something rare, something most of the world has never seen.

You are never told enough how much you are appreciated. Sometimes, it gets frustrating because it seems like no one cares what you do for them, but I'm here to say what you do matters. You have a heart which overflows with kindness and care, which can make it so easy to take advantage of your kindness without even realizing it. But, you are something special: everyone sees that, and they love you for it.

As the world gets colder, it may become increasingly harder and harder to remain so kind and bighearted. Please don't ever change. You are a glimpse of good in a world that is determined to tear girls down, a sliver of hope that maybe everything is not so evil after all. You are one in a million and I would not trade you for anything.

You guys deserve the world and more. You deserve for every dream to come true and for someone to believe in you just as much as you believe in everyone else. You deserve to be surrounded with other people like you- people who never fail to help, always have time for a heart to heart, and always pour encouragement into you the way you pour it into others. You deserve everything you could every dream of and more, because you always do everything you can to give everyone anything you can.

If the world was filled with people like you, it would be a much more beautiful place. Keep being you, and shine beauty into this ugly world, one kind heart at a time.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
