A Letter To My Friends I Forgot To Keep In Touch With This Summer

Losing touch with close friends is bound to happen to everyone. Sometimes it's because of busy schedules or unnecessary drama, but more often than not it’s just because the course of people’s lives go in different directions. As I was scrolling through pictures from my first year away at school I realized that I had not kept in touch with quite a few friends; friends that I wish I had kept in touch with. So to the friends that I haven’t kept up with as much as I should have this past summer, I’m sorry. However, I'm so grateful for your friendship and I promise that as soon as school starts up again I won’t be so distant.

Hey guys,

It's Liv! Ugh, gosh I miss you so much! I can’t wait to be back at school hanging out with you guys! I was just looking through pictures from this past year, (remember the night we tried to fit 30 marshmallows in my mouth and we laughed so hard we started crying?), and I realized I have not been a very good friend due to my lack of communication skills. I hope you have not held my lack of reaching out against me, I swear it wasn't intentional. In fact, if it makes you feel better I've been pretty distant with all of my friends this summer! (No? That didn't make you feel better? Well, it was worth a try I guess.)

Anyway, please forgive me for not keeping up with you and your summer antics. You deserve more than my unpredictable snap chats and vague texts. It's just that I’ve been so busy with work, and summer classes, and vacations that I’ve forgotten to reach out and see how you are. Hopefully, you understand that I didn't mean to be distant or rude. (I guess I just really suck at long distance relationships.) Although I have to say, when I did send an occasional snap you always replied with a quirky comment or smiley selfie, and I'm so thankful for that. I promise once school starts up again things will be totally back to normal. (Well as normal as college can be right?)

Eventually, when we do get back to school I'm going to make sure we sit down and chat. I'll give you my undivided attention. We can gossip about the new couples on campus, how much your summer job sucked, and that awesome vacation you took in June. We can restart that snap streak we never really committed to last April up again. (But this time lets actually try to get to at least 10 days okay?)

Honestly, I don't know what I did to deserve friends that can pick up right where we left off last, but all I can say is I'm glad you're one of them. I can't wait to see you, and get back to our school year shenanigans!! Until then, enjoy the last few weeks of your summer.

Love,

A grateful, but sometimes distant friend

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.

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:
