29 Things I Want for My Sister
Allegra Rose

Sister (noun)

1) A best friend for life

2) Player of dress up

3) Keeper of secrets

4) Teller of stories

A sister is all of the things listed above and so much more. She is the Meredith Grey to your Christina Yang. Who is the first person you call when you need a dance party and some ice cream. She is your #1 fan and the first person who will step up to defend you. She knows you inside and out, better than anyone else. She can tell what you're thinking just by looking at you. My sister is my favorite person in the whole world. Here are some things that I want for my sister in life:

1) That she loves herself and respects herself always

2) That she knows that her beauty comes from within

3) Confidence in herself and her abilities that never waivers

4) That she always sticks to her morals and refuses to change them for anybody

5) That she always remains positive and true to herself in a world that is filled with critics, cynics, and haters

6) That she loves those around her and know God put them there for a reason

7) That she knows she has a whole team behind her who are rooting her on and doing whatever we can to support her

8) Someone to hold her and love her when I can’t be there

9) That she is able to laugh at herself, life, and the crazy world around her

10) Friends that love and support her (almost) as much as I do

11) The ability to remove those from her life who only bring sadness and negativity

12) The chance to see the world and experience other cultures that are so different than ours

13) Road trips that take her to new places and shows her the beauty that the world has to offer

14) That she learns the best way to spend money is on experiences and not things

15) Sunsets and sunrises that make her appreciate the smaller things in life

16) Coffee that is always strong – just like her

17) Songs that make her dance and forget everything else

18) Times where she feels invincible and on top of the world

19) Nights out full of laughter, crazy adventures and memories that will last a lifetime

20) Boys who love and respect her until the right one comes along

21) That she will find someone someday who will make her the happiest girl alive and will protect her heart as his own

22) That she knows that with every hurt and heartache, there are moments of joy and love that make it all worth it

23) Mistakes that help her to grow and learn

24) That she is never afraid to reach for her dreams, no matter how big or far-fetched they may seem

25) That she never settles

26) The ability to always see the bigger picture

27) That God has a plan that is greater than anything she could ever imagine

28) To call me whenever, wherever because I will ALWAYS be there – no matter what

29) Know that I love her and nothing will ever change that

No Matter How Challenging School Gets, You Have To Put Your Health First — A Degree Won't Mean Anything If You're Dead

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.

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

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!
