An Open Letter To Santa Claus

Dear Santa Claus,

I understand that you are pretty busy up in the North Pole right now considering that we have less than a month left until Christmas. You're probably wondering why I am writing to you about my Christmas wish list even though I am almost twenty-one years old. You see, the thing is, back in middle school and high school I thought I knew everything and had the whole "adult" thing under control. During my teen years I thought letters to Santa were way to childish for me. Unfortunately, as I am approaching real adulthood, I'm beginning to realize that there are quite a few things that I could use this Christmas. I remember when I used to send you my Christmas list and you'd never disappoint. Some of my favorite Christmas memories are waking up to the newest American Girl doll or red Schwinn beach cruiser under the Christmas tree from you. I figured that if I wrote to you again this year, you could maybe help me out again. Don't worry, I'm not asking for anything major that will throw off the elves' production process. Most of the things I am asking for aren't even material items! This year for Christmas I would like (in no particular order):

1. The ability to go a week without any sleep. (Or maybe you could just add a few extra hours in the day, either works.)

2. The ability to eat and drink unlimited junk food and not gain weight.

3. A magical closet that restocks itself with the latest clothes from Urban Outfitters each night.

4. A cloned version of myself that goes to all my lectures while I sleep in.

5. A lifetime of new "Gossip Girl" episodes.

6. The inability to feel FOMO. (So that I will actually choose to stay in for once.)

7. A 4.0 GPA.

8. The ability to transport myself anywhere so I can travel the world.

9. For my parents to stop asking why I'm still single.

10. A photographic memory and speed reading skills.

11. Perfect interviewing skills.

12. A clear career choice and plan.

13. Excellent cooking skills.

14. Knowledge of how to file taxes.

15. A puppy that doesn't need training or cost a lot of money.

16. The ability to never procrastinate again.

17. A lifetime supply of all Trader Joe's products.

18. The body of a Victoria's Secret Angel.

19. The ability to see my family whenever I get homesick.

20. Free Starbucks that appears anytime I snap my fingers.

21. To never have to go to the dentist again.

22. A year long tan.

23. A perfect immune system.

24. The ability to know when someone is being fake.

25. An extra day between Sunday and Monday.

I know this list might seem long, but I promise I've been good this year! Merry Christmas!

Sincerely,

College girls everywhere

P.S. Please say hello to Mrs. Clause and Rudolph too.

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.

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:
