An Open Letter To The People I Love
Kate Deng

I love you, G. I haven’t heard from you in what seems like years. We exchange semi-annual birthday wishes and “I hope you’re doing well”s but life just got in the way. But that’s okay, I will never forget you. You put depth in my life. I was floating above the surface before you dove in and saved me.

I love you, I. You changed the way I look at people. I think you were the first real thing in my life and you taught me the difference. I could not be more proud of who you are and who you’ve become. Every day I strive to be as strong as you.

I love you, J. No one has ever, and may ever, known me the way you do. Thank you for loving me unconditionally even when I didn’t love myself. You were there for me in my happiest moments and in my darkest times. I know I messed up a lot but I miss my best friend.

I love you, B. I appreciate you more than you could ever imagine. You have a vibrancy that can’t be ignored and bring color to my life. I will always believe in you even if you don’t believe in yourself because I know you’re destined to change the world.

I love you, S. I was scared before I met you. I didn’t know who I was or where I belonged, and although I still don’t know the former, you’re helping me find my way. You unintentionally brought me out of the dark and showered me with bright lights, and for that I could not be more grateful.

I love you, E. I know I don’t say it enough, but I do. I envy your passion and your outlook on life. I’m incredibly proud of everything you do. I can’t wait to watch us grow up and grow old together, hating on each other and belting dramatic duets along the way.

I love you, M. You are my best friend. No matter the situation, somehow you always know exactly what to say. You’ve taught me how to love, how to be kind, and how to be a good person.

I love you, D. You are my role model. I’ve always envied your perseverance and effort in everything that you do. You’re my hardest critic and my biggest supporter. You’ve taught me to be a stronger person and always put my best foot forward.

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:
