A Thank You Letter To My Sisters
Kristi Gurule

My beautiful, smart, funny, and sometimes different sisters,

I do not say thank you enough. I should say thank you for answering my phone calls every day, sometimes with the most pointless of conversation topics but just needing someone to talk to. Thank you for loving me when I am in a terrible mood, which is more than you bargained for most of the time. Thank you for being there for the hard stuff, it is easy to celebrate victories and be excited for each others accomplishments, but seriously thank you for your words of encouragement and for sticking around for the messy, life throwing a curve ball events.

Thank you for looking like me, and letting me borrow your clothes. Thank you for bringing me a towel or plucking my eyebrows when I need it. Thank you for telling me I probably should not have posted that on social media, thank you for being my biggest fan.

Thank you for going to target with me at random hours, thank you for always inviting me to family dinners even if I come stag and never with a boy like you hope every time. Thank you for telling me the truth about the people I invest my time in, and understanding that sometimes I have to waste my time to learn a lesson from this. Thank you for having inside jokes and stupid catch phrases. Thank you for taking selfies with me and always smiling when I beg to take a group picture, you all know how much I love pictures. Thank you for having my back when I feel like no one does, thank you for funny group texts on a long day, thank you for sharing your kids with me; being an aunt is my favorite thing to be.

Thank you for letting me crash at your house for days on end when I don't want to go home. Thank you for sticking together when our lives flipped upside down, thank you for never forgetting where you came from. Thank you for giving me someone to look up to and for making me be someone you look up to. Thank you for Christmas mornings and Easter Sundays, thank you for Catholic Girls Camps in the summer and for supporting all of my extra curricular activities.

Thank you for being my best friends, my soul mates, the only people who truly to the core know where I came from.

We fight and bicker, love and comfort, and we support and laugh. Having sister was God's greatest gift, it is a forever best friend and a long time love. I am thankful for each of you strong independent woman, and the love we have between us.

Thank you,

XOXO

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:
