A Letter To My Future Self

Hey, what's up, hello!

A Letter To My Future Self

Dear Sophia Pizzola(name change?) at 35 years old,

This is you, at 19 years old, asking you to remember. Remember how you felt, right at this moment when I’m writing this. It is currently 4:40 pm on March 4th. It's like negative 500 degrees out (honestly it's 18 degrees but basically the same thing). You and Alexis are watching "Pocahontas," texting James, and about to take a nap.

I hope you remember all the success you have had in your life thus far. By now, I hope you have succeeded in achieving some of our goals such as getting married to a nice man who supports you and makes you happy, maybe even have a couple kids by now. If not that’s okay, but you better get moving because you’re not getting any younger! If you are married, I hope you remember that little failures won’t end the relationship. Even though they may seem bad at the time, or even during the fight, it’s okay. They will be solved and fixed in time, just like the time nobody told Adrianna, that the plane was delayed 2 hours and she got up at 5 am instead of 7 am. Of course, she was mad at all of us at first, but now we can laugh about it and remember to tell her things(most of the time). It was small at first but now has a lasting impression.

Do not push your ideas onto anyone. This will never end up well for anyone, especially you. I know that you have had a problem with this in the past (like right now, present day for me), and it never ends up well, usually with a fight or argument. Everyone has their own ideas, whether it be religious, political, etc. One person’s ideas may be different from yours, and that’s okay. They are entitled to their own opinion.

The most important thing to remember to be happy. You can have all the success, money, and luxury in the world, but it will mean nothing if you’re not happy. To me, at this moment, you can never truly succeed or get ahead unless you are content with what you already have. It’s is harder to achieve, strive, or recognize success when you aren’t happy. Always remember to hold your head up and be proud and happy in everything you do.

I can’t wait to meet 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:
