1. Not everyone is as "hood" as you.

You really feel like everyone will like it. I mean, no, they'll absolutely like it. How could they not? It's a complete banger. You're just waiting to see the looks on their faces when you show them one of the most hype songs ever. You press play and wait, but they're just standing around looking at each other like you're playing something out of an animal adoption commercial. You're disappointed. They're disappointed. At this point you're questioning your choice in friends while frantically scrolling through your playlist to hopefully change their minds about your taste in tunes. Maybe next time give that Gorilla Zoe song a second thought before you play it around your less cultured "friends."

2. If you're the only one dancing, maybe someone else should take over.

Everyone is throwing requests at you like you're running the 8th grade dance and you're just "so over it." What's your next move? You find your secret playlist that you've made private, and it's full of music that you don't want your friends to know about because its just too good for them. If it's acceptable enough for them they'll ask you the name, and you'll give them a smile and shrug. You don't want them to play it for someone else and take credit for it, that would be the end of your DJ career for the six that only you like, and you play it. You've lost track of the number of requests and you want to enjoy yourself because after that, you know you've got to play what the people want.

3. Do not play Broccoli again.

You've played it three times now. Even the two girls in the back of the room are aggressively asking you to play it. You know you shouldn't because you run the risk of everyone else asking to take over the AUX. At one point in time everyone would have asked to hear it, but now we're on to the latest music. The song has been out for months now, and although there are those that will love it forever, most of us have moved on.

4. Someone will always request "that one song" from "that one movie" and you'll have to play it.

Once someone gets the idea that playing music from old movies is acceptable, be prepared for everyone to jump on that train. You're outnumbered and tired, your thumbs hurt from clicking through your playlists, but you're on your last leg of DJ'ing. The Ubers are here and its time to go. Everyone knows you wanted to play that one last rap song, but they certainly do not care because Troy Bolton's solo from HSM2 is way more important.

5. That one pre-made playlist on Spotify is just not good enough for you.

If you're really dedicated, you have over ten different playlists for various activities and moods. Those pre-made playlists just don't cut it because they left out your favorite obscure artist and you are absolutely going to "die" if he/she is not featured during your dance party tonight. People will definitely ask to follow you because your ability to shuffle music is just that great.

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.
