An Open Letter to the Boys Who Don't Text Back

Dear Frustrating Boy,

The day we first started texting was a great day. You texted me first and the conversation just effortlessly flowed from one topic to the next. Then emojis started being used, compliments were given, and snapchats were exchanged. I enjoyed talking to you and it seemed as if you enjoyed talking to me as well. Maybe that was a wrong deduction on my part.

I find it interesting that you went from sending emojis and endless compliments to not answering at all. I know nothing drastically changed over the span of two hours. This made all the times I have been left on read with no reply or not even read at all, come flowing back into my mind. Why is it impossible for boys to take two minutes to text a girl back? It is not physically burdening for you to take a few seconds of your time to tell a girl that you are busy. Additionally, if you no longer want to text a girl you should be honest with her instead of letting her sit and wait around for a boy who does not care. I, for one, refuse to be the girl that sits there staring at her phone waiting for the screen to light up with your name displayed across the top.

Instead of wasting a girl's time, honesty is greatly appreciated. Girls may get upset at first but then will be able to move on with their own lives rather than sit around wondering what they did or said that made you ignore them. Ignoring a text message may seem like an "everyone does it" kind of thing, but to us girls it means so much more. We will rack our brains and bring ourselves to tears trying to figure out what made you run away.

So the next time you think about not answering a text message think about how it affects us. We would much rather get a "hey I am really busy this week so you might not hear from me", "I don't think this is going to work out", or "I don't want to talk to you anymore" text then be left in the quiet, dark abyss. Girls will continue keeping their faith in the male race if males continue being decent humans.

Sincerely,

The Girl Who Is Tired Of Being Ignored

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 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:

If you are like me, you have an interesting personality. Basically, you love to be sassy and snarky, gossip, and act like a total bitch (not really), but deep down, you are actually a very genuinely nice person. The idea of actually hurting someone truly makes you feel bad, and you probably have never actually hurt someone’s feelings because your kindness always shines through, even if you do not want it to. Not sure exactly what I would call this type of personality, but if you identify with it, here are some feelings you can undoubtedly relate to.
