Be That Girl

And never let her go.

Be That Girl
MacKenzie Meadows

Be that girl who dances in the rain. Be that girl who laughs at almost everything. Be that girl who people look at and wonder why are they always happy? Be that girl who loves life hard, be that girl who obsesses over the small things. Be that girl who loves herself rather than a boy. Be, that girl.

Be that girl who cries at movies, be that girl who doesn't. Be that girl who laughs at stupid youtube videos, be that girl who thinks they are a waste of time. Be that girl who takes four hours to apply her makeup, be that girl who takes four minutes. Be that girl who goes to church every Sunday, be that girl who choses to believe in other things. Be, that girl.

Be that girl who sleeps in, be that girl who starts her day early. Be that girl with a truckers mouth, be that girl who doesn't even say shut up. Be that girl who believes long distance works, be that girl who focuses on herself. Be that girl who wears as many bracelets as she can humanly fit on her wrists, be that girl who thinks jewelry is tacky. Just be, that girl.

No matter what girl you chose to be, chose her. Chose that girl that makes your life happy, chose that girl who is you and that no one can change. Be that girl who has purpose, who has drive, and who you put first and love more than anyone in this world. Be that girl that you are proud of, not the girl society thinks you should be. Be that girl that you look at and adore, don't try to fit the stigmas of life into your girl, because she's 100% you, she's not a magazine cover, she's not an add for healthy living, and she's not a movie star in Hollywood, she's you, she's me, she's everyone. So please, be that girl.

Be that girl who wears a naked face, be that girl who wears a pound of beautiful makeup. Be that girl who choses to stay in with a book on Saturday nights, be that girl who goes out every night with her favorite bottle and dances on tables. Be that girl who sings on the top of her lungs at red lights with the windows down, be that girl who's quiet and reserved. Be that girl.

Be that girl who travels and experiences all the wonders our beautiful world has to offer, be that girl who would rather stay in one place her entire life and put roots down. Be that girl who choses to be in love and in a relationship, be that girl who choses to focus on herself and to learn to be alone. Be that girl.

Be that girl who exercises every day and eats healthy, be that girl who eats a whole bag of chips and watches TV. Be that girl who's thin and she loves it, be that girl who's thick and loves her curves. Be that girl who handles heartbreak poorly, be that girl who never lets pain get to her. Be that girl who plays with every dog she sees, be that girl who loves cats. Be that girl who lets her hair down and loves gettin' dirty, be that girl who shops and always has the perfect hair. Whatever you do, be that girl.

Be that girl who finally choses herself. Be that girl who choses to smile at life, who would rather build people up than tear them down, be that girl who lets her hair down and who finally feels free. Be that girl that society looks at and knows she has broken down norms, that she is changing lives, be that girl who has purpose who goes out there and takes life by the horns and doesn't let go. Just be whatever girl you chose to be, but chose with confidence. Every day you have a choice to be which ever girl you want, so chose wisely, chose proudly, and chose with determination. And never let the age of media and older generations hold you back from the girl you want to be.

So go ahead beautiful, go out there, and be that girl.

No Matter How Challenging School Gets, You Have To Put Your Health First — A Degree Won't Mean Anything If You're Dead

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.

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.

Because we made it, and because high school seniors deserve to know what they're getting themselves into

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!
