With Valentine's Day coming up, I can't help but feel very amorous towards my boyfriend. And it is not just Valentine's but our anniversary is coming up and I can't help but feel excited. We have been together for 8 years. Even after 8 years, I still feel like I did when we started dating. I still get butterflies when I'm with him and every little thing we do is like an adventure. I feel so lucky to have found my person at such a young age. So I decided to list 8 things I love about my boyfriend, one thing for each year. Even though there are so many things to list, I'll keep it short and sweet.


1. You're a great listener.

With being in a long distance relationship, communication is very important. And I am so grateful that my guy is an amazing listener, he pays attention to the smallest or dumbest thing I say. And not every guy is like that. He really gives me his full undivided attention.


2. You are down to have some fun.

I love my boyfriend because he is always down to go out and do something fun and exciting. Whether it is going to the theme parks, going to a state park, or just going to go and play a small game of mini golf. He is always ready to go when it comes to have a good time and create some fun together.


3. My favorite buddy to stay in with.

Just like he is down to go out and have fun. He is also always down to stay in and have a lazy day. I love that we can just chill at home and watch movies or binge-watch shows. We can just lay there, order food, and not even change our pajamas. It's one of my favorite things to do with him.



4. That you are my personal technician.

Whether it be my cell phone, laptop, iPad, or even my car. He always seems to know what is wrong with them. And I am so glad that I don't even have to go to someone else who may charge me an arm and a leg to just fix my stuff. He's always able to get it fixed right away or in a day or two.



5. Being able to trust you with anything.

He is the one I go to when I need to talk. The one who pretty much understands me the most. My boyfriend has become my personal secret keeper. He knows what irks me and what gives me joy. What makes me happy and what makes me sad. I know I can trust him with everything and anything I tell him.

(let's pretend that Mason is a puppy)


6. That he is such an amazing fur-parent.

I love how attentive he is to his dog. He shows that he genuinely loves her and cares for her. He makes sure that she is fed, bathed, and well taken care of. He makes sure he plays with her and gives her the love and affection she deserves.


7. Being the hard worker that he is.

When he works he gives his all. He makes sure that the job gets done. Not only does it get done, he makes sure that it gets done right. He takes his responsibilities seriously. And I love that about him.



8. For being my forever best friend.

Not only is he my boyfriend, he is my best friend. I seriously cannot imagine my life without him. I can't even remember a life without him. I've known him for so long, and I am so blessed that I have. He has always stuck by my side no matter the situation. He makes me laugh, he comforts me when I need it, and he knows my favorite stuff.


And these are just a few things I love about him.

But the most I love about him is that He is my best friend, boyfriend, lover, and person.

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!

We all freak out when things don't go exactly as planned or when our expectations are unmet. As time goes on, we realize that the uncertainty of college is what makes it great. Here are some helpful reminders about life in college.
