A Love Letter to Women

“Women, they have minds, and they have souls, as well as just hearts. And they’ve got ambition, and they’ve got talent, as well as just beauty. I'm so sick of people saying that love is just all a woman is fit for.”— Jo March, Little Women

A Love Letter to Women

This is a response to In Honor Of International Women's History Month, Thank An Amazing Woman In Your Life.

Dear Women,

Throughout our lifetime, we have faced countless obstacles and challenges, yet we continue to push forward with grace, strength, and determination. From fighting for our rights, fighting for our voices to be heard, as well as our place in society, we have shown resilience and tenacity in the face of adversity. We have broken many barriers, shattered glass ceilings, and paved the way for future generations.

But our contributions go far beyond just the battles we have fought. Women have been the backbone of society, nurturing and caring for those around us. We have been the ones to wipe away tears, provide comfort and support, offer a listening ear, and the glue that holds families and communities together.

I am in awe of the women who have come before us, blazing trails and setting the stage for future generations, and equally inspired by the women of today who continue to fight for important moralities like gender equality, reproductive rights, and an end to violence against women.

But our contributions do not stop there. We are mothers, daughters, sisters, friends, and mentors. We are the start of our families, our communities, and our businesses. We have a unique perspective, a wealth of knowledge, and an unwavering commitment to making a difference.

It is because of us that our world is a better place. It is because of us that we have hope for a brighter future. And it is because of us that we will continue to strive for equality, justice, and peace.

As we celebrate Women's History Month, let us not only honor the women who have come before us, but also recognize the incredible strength and potential of women today. We are powerful, we are capable, and we are deserving of all the love and respect in the world.

Because, my dear sisters, you are loved. You are cherished. You are respected. And you are essential to the fabric of our universe.

Here's to you, women, and all that you represent.

With love and gratitude,

A fellow woman.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
