For those of you who haven't had the pleasure of having your ears blessed by the voice of Christina, do yourself a favor and listen to her latest album, "Head or Heart." I would be ashamed if I didn't tell you that this album is absolutely worth your time. Forget about the fact that I want to frame the cover art because she is drop dead gorgeous, but the album is filled with lyrics anyone could relate to. She writes some beautiful things that can't help but get you right where it matters. So here I've given you the lyrics to some of her best songs. Christina laid it all out and it smacked us in the face like a brick wall.

"I believe that today it's okay to be not OK."

I mean come on--for anyone who has gone through anything ever, they know this means everything. There aren't always times you feel like smiling and saying everything is gonna be alright. Sometimes, as human beings, we need a moment to cry and say without being shamed: "I'm having a freaking moment" and it will be perfectly OK. This is from her song "I Believe."

"A certain type of silence has filled my voice, I scream beneath the water and make no noise."

This song is from "Sea of Lovers." If we are being completely honest with each other then I have to tell you I definitely played this at my turtle's funeral because it's a really freaking sad song. On topic, this song spoke to me because often when I am afraid of saying something dumb or speaking my mind on a tough subject I end up not saying anything at all. To me that type of silence is my fear to speak on my beliefs. Therefore I drown in words unspoken. Deep stuff, thanks Christina.

"I can take so much, till I've had enough."

This is from the well-known song, "Human." This hit me in such a real way. Listening to this song and hearing these words made me realize that it was time for me to stop settling with everything in my life. Not only in an unhealthy relationship that was bleeding me out but in the friendships that took and took and never gave back. This lyric helped me remember that as a human being there is only so much abuse I can take.

"I'm setting fire to the light that I know, Let's start a fire everywhere that we go."

This lyric taught me to leave what is in the past...in the past, and to leave everything I do from here on out in a blaze of glory. This lyric hit me because I always harped on myself when I made mistakes or let someone down but Christina is saying let it go. Let it go and start something brand new. You can't always win, but you can always leave some mark on this world. This is from the song "Burning Gold,"which is my second favorite song on the album.

"I know the scariest part is letting go, let my love be the light that guides you home."

"The Words" is definitely my favorite song on her album. This song shows how pure and special true love is. Love is such a powerful thing. It's enough to bring you out of the darkest of places and emerging as a better human being for it. Love, is the only thing that was strong enough to bring me home, and this song reminds me of that every day.

All of these beautiful songs and more can be found on Christina Perri's Album "Head or Heart" and if these lyrics aren't enough to entice you maybe the beautiful Christina Perri will be just the push you need.

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.
