AN OPEN BIRTHDAY CARD TO MY MOM
Personal

Mom,

I cannot think of someone more deserving of a whole birthday month. We celebrate you for 31 days which does not even come close to the 334 days you spend celebrating us. Even during your birthday month, you spend time giving to not just me but this family. I just want to start by thanking you for all you do for me and this family.

Even though you live 130 miles away I always feel like you are right here with me. I always can count on you to answer the phone when I call, and I really do not know what I would do without constantly calling you. Thank you for always listening to me and for always being there for me no matter the distance.

No matter how old I grow I will always love cuddling up to you in bed and just talking about anything that comes to my mind. You are always there for me especially when I feel so alone. When dad could not be home with us you were the one that was always there. Thank you for always comforting me and always letting me know that everything is going to be ok.

Even on my worst days, you know how to put a smile on my face. When I feel like crying you always know how to make me laugh. Thank you for all the joy and happiness that you have filled my life with.

If it were not for you I would not even be here today. You gave me life and that is something that I could never fully give back to you. I could not think of a better person to call mom. Thank you not just for giving me life, but for giving me the best life anyone could ever ask for.

The world truly is a better place with you here in it. The amount of joy you have brought into my life, as well as so many other lives, is indescribable. Thank you for being a light in this world and most importantly thank you for being the best example a daughter could have.

Even though your birthday month is coming to a close you are still celebrated and loved all year long. I know that I may not always be the best at constantly reminding you just how much you mean to me. However, not one day goes by without me being thankful for the mother I have.

I know that there are no gifts or words that could ever amount to what you have given me. I hope this birthday month was one to remember. Happy Birthday to the best mom a girl could ask for.

Love Always,

Madison

Why Blair Waldorf Is The Realest Bitch To Ever Live

XOXO, Gossip Girl.

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.

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!

The college years are a time for personal growth and success. Everyone comes in with expectations about how their life is supposed to turn out and envision the future. 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.

Letter To My High School Friend Group

The girls I will never forget.

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.
