9 Lessons Brooke Davis Taught Us

If you don't watch "One Tree Hill", I'd say it's time to start. If you've had the misfortune of missing out on this fabulous show, you are most certainly missing out on Brooke Davis. Brooke Davis goes from being a party girl in high school to a big-time fashion designer with her own magazine. She grows up to be a successful, happy, and confident woman, despite her past.

Here are a few lessons every girl undoubtedly learned from the beautiful and talented B. Davis:

1. It's okay to be afraid of the future.

All too often, we are afraid of showing fear. We are afraid to admit that we don't have it all figured out yet. Brooke Davis showed us that fear is okay; fear is natural. Fear does not is sign of weakness, it is a sign of strength.

2. Never apologize for who you are.

Brooke Davis always stayed true to herself and was completely unapologetic about it. She taught us that if someone doesn't like you for who you are, they aren't worth it. The ones that are worth it will love you for exactly who you are and will not ask you to change.

3. You are not what people label you as.

Hands down one of the best B. Davis quotes out there is this one: "People are going to label you. It's how you overcome those labels, that's what matters." Just because someone tells you that you aren't good enough does not mean that it's true. Trust Brooke Davis's words: You are always good enough, and if someone tells you otherwise, you don't need them in your life.

4. Zero is not a size.

Well, technically, zero is a size, but that doesn't mean it has to be your size. B. Davis's fashion line emphasized women of all body types, and celebrated the fact that we are all different and that is what makes us beautiful. If only more clothing companies today emphasized Brooke Davis's "Zero is not a size" movement.

5. Learn to forgive.

Never let anyone push you around, but always acknowledge that it's okay to give second chances. People really can change, and Brooke Davis herself is a prime example of a person who did exactly that.

6. You deserve someone who will fight for you.


You deserve the very best, and you should always believe that. Don't let anyone treat you like you aren't special.

7. When in doubt, give them a sassy look.


A quick and sassy eye look can solve all your problems. Don't know what to say? Sassy look. Confused? Sassy look. Angry? Sassy look. Brooke Davis is notorious for her girl power and sweet, yet super sassy attitude.

8. Look out for your friends.


Brooke Davis never failed to be there when someone needed her, even if they just needed a hand to hold. Sometimes you just need someone to let you know that you aren't alone. Look out for the people you care about; they will look out for you in return.

9. Always believe in yourself.


You can do anything if you just believe in yourself. Brooke Davis's dream was to start a fashion line, and she ended up with her own company. Whatever your dream is, Brooke Davis knows that you can make it happen.

Thank you, B. Davis, for all the lessons along the way.

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!

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.
