to my high school besties, as we venture off

Childhood friendship is the most beautiful memory that can never be replaced.

to my high school besties, as we venture off
Madison Skinner

To the crazy people I spent almost every day with since I was in kindergarten, I'm going to miss you. We have been through so much over the years, but I'm glad that we've been sticking together like glue since we were little. As we venture off to our new towns and schools, we will meet tons of new people. We will make new friends. We will make new memories, without each other. We will only be able to understand each other from the high school point of view, now.

No one that I meet in college will understand me the way that you do, but you will never be able to understand me the way that they do.

Guess what? That's okay. I hope that we will stay in touch, over the years. If we don't though, that's okay too.

We will no longer make spur of the moment decisions to go to Sonic anymore. We won't be able to stop at each other's houses anymore, and then text, "Is it okay if I come over?" We may not even know each other after we mold into our new, adult selves. I will always remember our crazy memories together, from getting cupcakes smashed in our faces to put tape all over the children's church door so the boys couldn't get out. I will always support you in your decisions. I will always be here if you need anything.

Most importantly, I will always miss the way we used to be.

As we go our separate ways, I want each of you to know that you all hold a special place in my heart, and always will. I am confident that you will all grow into strong-minded, intelligent young women. I hope that you will keep the word of God close to your heart, and follow your dreams. You guys will always be my people, and nothing will ever change that.

As I'm in my room packing to move three hours away, I am saddened and excited about this new journey I am about to embark on. I am overjoyed that we are finally going through the process of finding out who we are and what we are to do with this life that God has given us. On the other hand, I'm going to miss you all so much. I can't wait to see where life takes us.

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:

If you are like me, you have an interesting personality. Basically, you love to be sassy and snarky, gossip, and act like a total bitch (not really), but deep down, you are actually a very genuinely nice person. The idea of actually hurting someone truly makes you feel bad, and you probably have never actually hurt someone’s feelings because your kindness always shines through, even if you do not want it to. Not sure exactly what I would call this type of personality, but if you identify with it, here are some feelings you can undoubtedly relate to.
