5 Stages Of A Hangover
Stay At Home Mum

We've all been there, when we wake up and realize that all we've done is made mistakes last night. What was once fun has now turned into the worst day of your life. And it only takes a few moments to come to the realization:

And no matter where you are, what you drank, or how much you drank we all experience the same five stages. None of them are pretty.

1. Waking up.

Whether it's to an alarm or naturally, waking up is the hardest one on the list. This is when the hangover really hits you, like a surprise birthday party that you never wanted. At first you think you're golden but then you realize that your entire day is going to be a struggle.

2. Fatigue.

It feels like you just got done with the hardest workout routine, or like you've been awake for four days straight. Just moving to the edge of the bed feels like climbing Mount Everest. Writing your name on the attendance sheet should earn you a gold medal. And your body will feel that way all day.

3. Headache.

The slightest noise, smallest bit of light, or that one kid in class who yells instead of talking at a normal level. All you want to do is cover your ears, take some advil, and pray that the world will be quiet and peaceful for you that day. Of course, it won't be.

4. Nausea.

Someone might mention a greasy cheeseburger, their favorite alcoholic beverage, or you might have to go to a microbiology course where your teacher just wants to talk about all these disgusting diseases that make your stomach churn even more. And there's no way to make the nausea go away. It's here to stay.

5. Death.


Yep, it's all over. All of these hit you so hard and so fast that all you can do is lay down and die. It might be the end of the day, it might be the middle. Either way, it's game over.

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.
