When You Weren't Born In Nashville But Should Have Been

Rock me, mama, like a wagon wheel...

When You Weren't Born In Nashville But Should Have Been

Yeah, I'm talking about you. The girl who has more boots in her closet than she does flip-flops. The guy whose idea of a fun Friday night is throwing back some beers at a country bar, and maybe twirling a pretty blonde "thang" around. Those of you who use "sweetie," "darlin'," and "y'all" in your daily vocabulary. Whether you're from the Midwest (like me), East or West Coast, or wherever you're from, if it wasn't Honky Tonk Central, then it should have been.

Every cotton-eyed-joe, boot-scootin'-boogie, and two-step opportunity that you hear when you're out, you're the first one on the dance floor. It's okay to put your whiskey down for a few minutes, just leave it with your friends in their ripped blue jeans and cowboy hats, they'll watch it for you. Or, if you're a pro, just down it first.

Of course, it ain't a party until someone starts playing "Wagon Wheel," "Callin Baton Rouge," or "The Devil Went Down to Georgia." I'm not talking karaoke or DJ mixes (although Nashville karaoke does have its moments), I'm talking live music with fiddles, harmonicas, boot stompin' and all.

And seriously, you can't even associate with people who don't know who Garth Brooks is, I mean let's get real.

The best part of being a Tennessean at heart? Your faith, love and kind spirit. Those are all things we should strive to have no matter where we come from, but in my (slightly biased) opinion, Nashville does it best.

Now go kick back and relax. Don't forget your Jack Daniel's.

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:
