3 Things You Need Before School Starts Again

Ok, so college is literally one month away and summer is coming to end. But that does not mean that your style has to.

The best part about going back to school is having the opportunity to create a new look and new you. If you are like me then you have about 24 days until college starts. I am a senior in college and I want to go back as a new "Jamie," so here are a few things that I plan on updating during the next 24 days.

My Hair:

So I am constantly changing my hairstyles throughout the school year and each time I change my hair I always feel like a new person with a new start. Last year, I shaved both sides of my hair just to do something different. I don't suggest going that extreme, but do something within your comfort zone.

I use Pinterest for daily inspiration, because once you cut or make a drastic change to your hair, it is important to know how to style that hairstyle accordingly. Pinterest is a great site for hairstyle inspiration and new ways to style your hair.

Clothes:

Of course going back to school means checking out the back to school sales. As you may know, my favorite site is ASOS. They are currently having a 20% sale for the Fall season, and the new clothes are amazing! This is a great opportunity to try out a new style that you were thinking. If you are entering your freshman year, I suggest going all out and try something different. It is always best to do a drastic change when you are starting something new, it's kind of like a re-invention of yourself.

Attitude:

In order to go back to school as a new you, you need to go back with the right attitude. If you are usually an introvert, start the school year talking to new students or that person you always wanted to chat with. I remember in high school, people told me I always had a serious face, so when I went to college I decided to smile more and this helped me tremendously. More people would approach me, and I even met more friends because of it.

So remember, new school year is a new start and the best part is you have over 20 days to start making adjustments.

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.

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!

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.
