To My Younger Sisters, I'm Lucky To Have You As My Built-In Best Friends

In This Article:

My sisters are the absolute best. As I've gotten older, I've realized just how lucky I am to have these "built-in" best friends. I love being the oldest and acting as a mentor and friend to both of them.

We really help one another. As I start college in less than a month, I want my sisters to know that just because we'll be a little farther away from one another, the bond that we have won't ever change.

My sisters, I love you with all of my heart. I'm so proud of the people that you are, and all of your accomplishments. Like me, you're both going to be starting a new chapter soon; high school.

Try to enjoy all of your high school years because you'll blink and you'll be at your senior prom wondering how it all went by so fast. But, also remember that your life is just beginning after high school. It's, by no means, the be-all-end-all. Don't take what jealous people say to heart, and know that not everyone is going to have the same heart as you.

Be kind to everyone that you meet because you truly don't know what people are going through in their personal lives. Thank the people who go the extra mile to make your life easier. We often take them for granted.

Know that you are enough one million times over. And, you are loved beyond anything you can imagine. No one can ever take that away from you.

Thank you both for teaching me what being a friend means. Some of my favorite moments are spent with us talking about everything, and nothing at all. I'm looking forward to all of us getting closer in the coming years. Thank you for challenging me to be a better person.

Whenever I'm faced with difficult choices, I try to make the one that I know would make you proud. Because, honestly, I look up to you both just as much as you look up to me.

Most importantly, thank you for letting me be your big sister. Out of all of the things that I'm proud of, being your sister is up at the top of the list.

I love you endlessly.

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:
