1. You get butterflies every time you see them.

If you have ever been in love, you know this feeling. Every time you see your person or get a text from them, you get all excited inside and can't stop smiling.

2. You miss them as soon as they leave.

Let's be honest, if you have ever had a boyfriend or girlfriend, you know at some point you miss them as soon as they leave.

3. All their imperfections are perfections to you.

If you are really in love, you see past all of your significant other's flaws. Their flaws are perfect to you. Even if you are having the worst day and hate yourself, that is OK because your person loves you and adores you, even on your worst days.

4. The smallest things they do, seem so much greater because it is coming from them.

"Oh, babe, you bought me flowers?" Well, because it is coming from your person, it feels like they just bought you a car. THE LITTLE THINGS MEAN THE MOST.

5. You talk about your future TOGETHER (living together, getting married, etc.)

You definitely know that you are in love if you are talking about your future together with your bf/gf. That means that you want to be with them for a long time.

6. No matter the rough patches you experience together, you always see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Every couple fights and argues. But, if you are in love, you know that you will work through things and make it out of the rough patches.

7. You are best friends and are 100% comfortable with each other.

I don't know about you, but my boyfriend is my BFF. I am so comfortable around him and we can talk about anything. That is love. You trust your person with your life.

8. You don't dwell on each other's past, you worry about bettering one another's futures.

Everyone has a past, good or bad. If you are in love then you will see past each other's past and focus on each other's futures.

9. You take pride in having one another.

"Yessssss, that is my babe! Look at him shooting that basketball! I am so proud. Wow, I love him". You are DEFINITELY in love if you take pride in your significant other. You love them and everything that they do.

10. Sometimes you find yourself caring more about your significant other, then yourself.

Although this sounds silly, it is very true if you are in love. I catch myself thinking about my person and caring about them sometimes more than I care about myself. Sometimes it is OK to be like that, but make sure you are still remembering yourself!

You are not alone.

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.

Why Blair Waldorf Is The Realest Bitch To Ever Live

XOXO, Gossip Girl.

"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.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

Here are some helpful reminders about life in college.
