Hey Dad...This One Is For You
Madison Weaver

Dads–they truly are superheroes. No matter what situation I'm in or advice I need, my dad always knows the answer to everything–– literally. Our dads help us out everyday so much that we probably often forget to thank them for the little things. Your dad should receive gratitude if he has ever done these things...

1. Thanks for working so hard to support our family.

You truly have put in so many hours to support our family. You work constantly to make sure I have everything I could ever want in life, and I can never thank you enough for that.

2. Thanks for showing me the true definition of what being a husband means.

The love you have for Mom is incredible. You always go out of your way to tell and show her how much you love her. You set a good example of what all of us have to look forward to in the future. I now know to find someone who looks at me the way you look at Mom.

3. Thanks for finding a solution to all of my car problems...even when I don't give a good explanation of what is wrong.

You've heard me say, "My car..it's like making like this weird noise," too many times.

4. Thanks for supporting me in cheerleading, even though you'd probably rather me be a football player or something.

You never missed a competition even if it was hours away. You sat through the miserable cheer routines just to watch me. You spotted me in the front yard when I wanted to try a new skill and although I wasn't a football player you still always supported me.

5. Thanks for keeping up with what's "cool".

You know text messaging slang and the words to "Fireball", and really every other song 'cool' people listen to so yeah you're pretty cool too.

6. Thanks for always giving me money for the necessities–clothes, shoes, and Panera.

Because going to Panera at least 8 times a week is an essential to living a healthy life.

7. Thanks for saying yes when Mom says no.

I think I may have manipulated you a few times (-: Good thing you always have to love me.

8. Thanks for supporting my goals and dreams.

You have always been there every step of the way to cheer me on, and I'll never overlook your love and support.

So, Dad, here are just a few of the million thank you's I owe you. You're the best; don't ever forget it.

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:
