Who Is Lenny And Why Does She Have A Letter?

Lenny Letter: An email newsletter where there's no such thing as too much information.

Who Is Lenny And Why Does She Have A Letter?

As if we didn't already feel the presence of Lena Dunham on our generation through her show "Girls", her book "Not That Kind of Girl," her feminist presence and a coveted spot in Taylor Swift's girl gang — Dunham is also adding a newsletter. The Lenny Letter is a weekly newsletter for the modern woman written by Lena Dunham herself along with her close friend and "Girls" executive producer, Jenni Konner. Get it? Their names combined make Lenny. Charming isn't it?

The newsletter covers all the important things that cross the modern woman's mind including feminism, style, health, politics, friendship and everything in between. I know, I know, you need it in your life ASAP, and you're not sure how you have survived this long without it! Alas ladies and gentlemen, you will have to wait just a few more months because the Lenny Letter begins this fall. However you can sign up for it now so you are ready for it (and let's be honest you were born ready for this).

Young women need this knowledge probably even more than think. Our generation is often looked at as lazy and slightly incompetent with all our electronic nonsense. This newsletter could give us the opportunity to use our electronics for good (shock). We can educate ourselves weekly on topics that we encounter daily. Other benefits include: being able to sound smart at parties, informing your parents that you actually learned something while away at school so they keep giving you money and receiving an email you want to see out of the hundreds a day that you don't want to see.

Let the Lenny Letter be like the baby sunshine from "Teletubbies" shining down on your week letting you soak up some good ol' knowledge.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
