A Thank-You To My Most Recent Ex
Me

Thank you, to the ex boyfriend who not only taught me what it felt like to actually be loved, but for also letting me be apart of his life, for however short the time was.

I didn't know what a healthy relationship really felt like. I had never had bliss or happiness that just never stopped. No fights, no worries, just peace and compatibility.

I picked him up at Logan airport. Such a lovely first impression, as I parked my car in the wrong place and we had to go looking all over for where it got towed to. Thanks for bearing with me through that.

He's warned me he wasn't a typical southern boy, however that seemed very unlikely, as he is a gentleman through and through. Opening doors, checking on me. Making sure there was water next to me when I woke up after a night of drinking.

One night we made pizzas together. He made the dough from scratch, I was in shock. I'm a good cook myself, but I don't think I could manage to make that myself. We made our individual pizzas and settled in for a night of Netflix.

Very long story short, he's moving back to Texas to be with his family. I'm grateful, for the time we did share together. He taught me what it felt like to feel secure and happy. He taught me how to feel stable and loved.

There is a song, called "We Owned the Night", by Lady Antebellum. There is one line in that song that particularity stands out, that I haven't gotten out of my head since we hugged goodbye for the final time. "And I knew in that moment, that we'd never speak again. But it was perfect, I never will forget." This is how I feel about us ending. We were pretty perfect, and I won't ever forget about how wonderful our time was together, and how I wouldn't have traded the experience for anything. I genuinely wish him nothing but the absolute best, and even though it's bittersweet knowing we won't see the other again because of the move, I can take solace in knowing that we both will succeed in everything we do. Thank you, for showing me what true happiness in a relationship feels like.

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.”

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:
