Dear women and men everywhere,

Hi it's me, Feminism. It has come to my attention that many of you fear labeling yourself as a "feminist." I get the feeling that many of you do not really get me. You think you know me, but you just don't. I wanted to write to you to tell you who I really am and what it means to accept me into your lives, which I think you all should.

Many people think that I am a lonely and insecure girl who takes all her anger out on men because none of them want me. That's not true. I do not hate men; in fact I want them all to be happy and live equally among women. If women gain equality that does not take anything away from men. I do not want all men to perish because I need them to help me live on. All I want is for women to be able to live under the same unwritten laws as men can.

Some of you think my cause does not matter. You think that I want to obtain a goal that does not need to be obtained. Some of you actually believe that women and men are already equal. That just isn't true. Sure I have accomplished many things in my life, but I do not think I will ever be finished fighting. I want to maintain equality between men and women forever, therefore I will never stop trying to get people to like me.

It hurts my feelings when women do not want anything to do with me. They think that men will judge them for hanging around me. However, if everyone can understand what I really am about, then there would be no judgement to fear. I want women to live peacefully among men and I want men to live peacefully among women. I do not think women should have more opportunities than men, I just think they should have as much as men do. I just can't understand why I am not appealing to some women because I just want whats best for them after all.

You do not have to be a woman to support me. Men can support me too. We cannot live in a just society if our brothers and sisters do not stand for one another. Supporting me is like supporting your mother, sister, daughter, grandmother, aunt, girlfriend, wife, niece etc. I want to make this world better, but I can't do it alone. I need people to work with me and for me regardless of their gender.

Now that I have explained my cause and who I am, can you all consider supporting me? I promise I am not out to get anyone. I just want everyone to be happy and equal together! We can live in perfect harmony if you all chose to welcome me into your lives. I promise you will not regret being my friend.

Yours truly,

Feminism

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
