Know Your Memes

1). All of your finals are essays.

Sure, your friends might be cramming for exams, but you're over here frantically writing a 10 page paper that was assigned Wednesday and due Friday of the same week. Urgghh.


2). Group video projects don't actually suck.

Finally, a group of people that can actually speak in front of a camera and have some kind of creative talent!


3). Neither do peer reviews.

Gone are the days in high school where the kid that is into math reviews your paper. He may be good with math, but if he didn't know the difference between accept and except in his own essay you can't count on his review of your paper being any good.


4). You can't enjoy a good commercial anymore.

I see your persuasive tactics Doritos!!


5). Your friends come to you for essay revisions.

You might as well work as an editor at this point.



6). No one is exactly sure what you're planning to do for the rest of your life.

So do you wanna be a journalist? An editor? An author? A speechwriter? A broadcaster? A news anchor? A blogger? The list goes on for miles.



7). At least one of your friends is addicted to puns.

And all of them are tearable.



8). You can't persuade your Profs to do anything.

Why? Because you learned all of the persuasive appeals you're about to use in their class.


9). You think it's a joke when you get an essay assignment from a core class.

Psh, 6 pages are nothing compared to what I've done!



10). You have found friends that share a common hatred for grammatically incorrect billboards.

You're means YOU ARE. Your means YOUR.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

Recently I completed my freshman year of college, and boy, what an experience. It was a completely new learning environment and I can't believe how much I learned. In an effort to save time, here are the ten biggest lessons I learned from my first year of college.

1. Everyone is in the same boat

For me, the scariest part of starting school was that I was alone, that I wouldn't be able to make any friends and that I would stick out. Despite being told time and time again that everyone had these same feelings, it didn't really click until the first day when I saw all the other freshman looking as uneasy and uncomfortable as me. Therefore, I cannot stress this enough, everyone is feeling as nervous as you.
