It's my senior year of college, and there have been many interesting thoughts that go through my head when moving back into school. I have a whole spectrum of thoughts because there is so much going on all at once. You're packing, and then you're driving to the school, and then you're trying to bring out all the bags of clothing that you won't end up wearing, and finally, you realize you've emptied out your car(s), and can't even walk in your small room with all the crap you brought. I've been through it all. Have you had these thoughts too?

1. "Wow, I am just so excited to move in!"

2. "Can we fit all this in two cars?"

3. "We're finally here!"

4. "OK, let's get my trunk out first so we can get the elevator before anyone else."

5. "This is my favorite thing out of all the 2 cars full of stuff."

6. "Did I really pack this?"

7. "I shouldn't have packed this."

8. "What floor am I on again?"

9. "Oh yes... 3rd floor."

10. "Gotta sign in and get my key that I'll probably forget and lose about 25 times during the year."

11. "Wow...OK... this is heavier now that I'm climbing up three flights of stairs."

12. "What's my room number again?"

13. "It's already a zoo in the lobby."

14. "Not living a few doors down from the laundry room is gonna be interesting this year."

15. "Why are they hogging the elevator if they live on the 2nd floor and they're just bringing up pillows?"

16. "Yes, Dad, I need all these bags of clothes."

17. "Dad, I need options."

18. "Yes, I need six pairs of jeans when I'm only going to wear leggings."

19. "Oh, these stairs are going to be a pain every day."

20. "Should I take the elevator?"

21. "Looks like I'm not taking the elevator..."

22. "The staircase already smells like weed and alcohol."

23. "Don't tell me I forgot my alcohol."

24. "Nope, we're good."

25. "Alright, let's open this door."

26. "Either this key isn't working or I haven't used a key to open the door in a decade."

27. "We're in."

28. "Wow...small."

29. "So, is this the closet?"

30. "Is there any way to make it bigger?"

31. "I can only fit 15 hangers?"

32. "How am I going to live with only 15 hangers?"

33. "Oh, there's a dresser too."

34. "Now I can survive."

35. "Oh good, my wall is already chipped."

36. "I am not paying for that."

37. "What's that smell?"

38. "This bed is as hard as a rock."

39. "Good thing my Mom bought me a five-inch mattress pad."

40. "Mom, can you make my bed?"

41. "Please?"

42. "That's the best my bed will ever look this year."

43. "What do you mean there's no AC?"

44. "Why are there orange and red stains on my window shade?"

45. "I think I'm good now Mom and Dad."

46. "No really, I think I'm good."

47. "Man, I'm gonna miss them."

48. "Ah, yes, freedom."

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!

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.
