As the year has come to a close, the new semester is starting, and life after break begins again, I decided to take a look back at all that has happened in my life the past semester. The last semester had its ups and downs...okay mainly downs...but here are 20 things I'm thankful for from the past semester.

1. My roommates.

I love them all, and I'm super thankful to not have any roommate issues this year.

2. My foster brother becoming my legal brother.

He was in foster care for over two years, and today he is my adopted brother.

3. AAA

My car hates me. Enough said.

4. This Is Us

So many tears, but such a good show.

5. My boyfriend.

He's my best friend. He takes care of me. And he keeps me sane.

6. My sunglasses.

I've lost them, sat on them, and lost them again. But somehow they've lasted me an entire semester. (This is a record for me).

7. My job.

Congrats to me, I have a part-time job that I don't actually despise.

8. Starlight Movie Theater.

The seats recline.

9. Passing biology.

Casually moved into the library for a week...miraculously passed bio.

10. A working printer.

My printer literally never worked last year.

11. The closeness of my family.

It might be a little scary how close we all are...but that's okay.

12. My dad's job.

He works at Ulta. I get all the makeup I want for free.

13. Shameless.

So vulgar, but so good.

14. My bf's best friend who got me out of a sticky situation.

Shoutout to you Taylor.

15. Friends I've gotten closer with.

Y'all da bomb.

16. Blackout curtains.

The sun loves to shine right into my room.

17. The girls in my biology lab group.

I literally just laughed all of lab.

18. The dog we had for a week.

It was nice while it lasted, except when she pooped all over the living room.

19. Flowers from my bf.

They're my fav.

20. A new washer and dryer.

Shoutout to our washer for breaking so we could get a whole new set that 297453 people haven't used.

What are you thankful for from last semester?

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.

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

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!

The college years are a time for personal growth and success. Everyone comes in with expectations about how their life is supposed to turn out and envision the future. We all freak out when things don't go exactly as planned or when our expectations are unmet. As time goes on, we realize that the uncertainty of college is what makes it great. Here are some helpful reminders about life in college.

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.
