Dear Best Friend,

I know that we aren't close anymore. I know that not only did it seem like I picked other things over you, but that sometimes, I might've. However, I also know that I loved and still love you dearly.

We've known each other for a while. It seems kinda crazy that I've known you almost longer than I haven't known you. We used to do everything together, best friend. I don't want to open any old wounds, but I feel as though I really owe you an apology. I am truly sorry if I ever made you feel worth less than what you are, simply because I was being selfish with my time. You were always there for me, and I know I tried my absolute hardest to be there for you. After countless sleepovers and girls nights, you became less of a friend and more of a sister.

I really miss you, best friend. Sometimes whenever something exciting happens in my life, I am one second away from calling you to let you know, but then I stop myself because I can't help believing that you wouldn't want to hear it. Whenever I see you when we are back at home I feel like I want to just forget everything that happened in high school and start our friendship anew, because you are unquestionably one of the best friends I've ever had.

Some of the best times I've had in my life have been shared with you, and I wouldn't have it any other way. I hope that if you ever see this that you can maybe forgive me and that we could start again, as adults. As individuals who understand that sometimes, things just get in the way no matter how hard we try to keep it from happening.

To my dear best friend, you are a strong woman and an even stronger force to be reckoned with.

My love to you always,

~Robin

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!

Here are some helpful reminders about life in college.

Top 10 Lessons I Learned My Freshman Year

The first year of college opens your eyes to so many new experiences.

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.
