A Letter To My Grandmothers
Ashlynn Melnyk

Dear Nana,

YOU are a superhero. Sometimes I can't believe it’s possible for you to be a better person than you already are but, somehow you always seem to change that thought. When you stayed up late to paint, when you slept with me whenever I got scared, when you constantly stayed calm and positive in some of the worst situations are just three of the THOUSANDS of reasons why I love you. Everything about you is what I shoot to accomplish in my life. Thank you for constantly being an amazing talker, influence, and friend any girl could have.

Dear Grandma Ann,

YOU make my heart melt. Every time I see you, I'm showered with love and hugs, and to tell you, I absolutely LOVE it. The kind of heart you behold is so pure, kind, and full of love. Somehow you always manage to make me smile and constantly remind me how lucky I am. Within the time you have been in my life, you have given me so much and everyday continue to, and for that, I am forever grateful.

Dear Mamaw,

YOU make me so strong. Never in my life have I met anyone with as much resilience and kindness as you have. You constantly welcome me with open arms and with your famous "mamaw cookie" right by your side. I understand how hard things have been these last few years, but I want you to know how unbelievably proud I am of you. I love you so much, mamaw, and I will forever be here for you with the open arms you helped raised me to have.

Dear Gma,

YOU put a smile on my face. Still to this day, every time I sit down at a piano, I imagine you rushing over, flipping open a book and playing along with me, and every time I see you, the same thing happens. Thanks to you I have learned not to let anyone reprimand my intelligence and to constantly put my best ability into everything I do. You are an amazing woman whom I will look up to for years to come.

I love you all so very much. Thank you. XOXO

-Ash

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:

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.
