To My Friends As They Prepare To Graduate College, I Love You More Than You Know
Madison Zinn

When I started college, I didn't quite know who I was.

I was shy and insecure and didn't quite know where I fit into the world. I didn't have very many good friends that I knew that I could always count on.

But then you girls came along.

You welcomed me into your lives with open arms. You showed me what it is like to have friends that truly care for me and would be there for me no matter what.

My college experience would not have been the same if it wasn't for you girls. You are the first people that I want to go to when I am sad and the first people that I want to call when something exciting happens.

I would not be who I am if it wasn't for you.

Through the laughs, the tears, the crazy nights, and the lazy nights in, you have all never failed to make me smile.

We all have so many memories together, memories that I will forever cherish. Memories that I will always look back on with a smile on my face.

From the nights out to the deep heart-to-heart talks that lasted for hours, there was never a dull moment to be had with us.

And now, you are graduating.

The selfish part of me wants you to not graduate yet so that you can stay here with me. But I know that it is time for you to move on.

It is time for you to go out into the world and make your dreams come true. It is time for you to find your passions and discover all of the amazing things that life has in store for you.

I am so proud of all of you for how hard you have worked to get to where you are today. I feel so lucky to be a part of your journeys through life.

Although we may not get to see each other every day, that does not make you any less special to me. It just means that the times that we are together will be that much more special.

I love you all more than you know. Thank you for making my college experience so amazing and for being the best friends a girl could ever dream of.

I wish you nothing but happiness while you move onto the next chapter in your life, and I can not wait to see where it takes you.

I know that each and every one of you is going to do great things.

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:

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.
