An Open Letter to Cookout

You've been there for me at my best and worst.

I don't know why it's taken me so long to write this. I guess I was waiting for the right time.

You were there for me after dance recitals when I was little, to even now when I'm just feeling a midnight snack. I fell in love with the chicken strip tray and seasoned fries, but my life was changed for the better when you introduced the cheddar rounds.

You thought you were being sly when you raised your cookout tray prices, but I noticed, and it honestly hurt a little. You are known for being the best deal in my college town, and you still are but I was honestly offended when you raised your prices.

I think I can speak for all college students when I say that you have saved us from some pretty interesting nights. When the uber pulls up to you everyone gets excited, so thank you Cookout for being the shining light at the end of the tunnel.

You have been there for me for as long as I can remember. Being from North Carolina I grew up being surrounded by you, and going to you to hang out with pals and just have a great time. You have been the gathering place throughout high school and college.

When people ask what Cheer-wine is, and why it is included in the vending machine really breaks my heart, but I am glad that you stay true to your roots and continue to provide it.

When I walk into Cookout and I hear Christian music playing it always puts a smile on my face. I am glad that you continue to provide a positive atmosphere for us college kids because we really need it. When finals week approaches and stress is high, you are the reason we all get through it and have something to look forward to.

From burgers to chicken strips and wraps in between, you have such a wide variety for any eater. The milkshakes are also super bomb, and the deals you offer are unbeatable. Your cookout sauce is also something that can't be competed with, so thank you for that.

So, thank you Cookout for being a real one and getting not only me but every single college kid through hard times. Never leave us, and remember to always keep the Cheerwine and cookout sauce handy.

Sincerely,

a hungry college student

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.
