1. How I Built This with Guy Raz

This NPR-sponsored podcast interviews top entrepreneurs and focuses on "how they built" their empires. Some notable guests include Whole Foods founder John Mackey and Glossier founder and CEO Emily Weiss.

2. Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend

Comedic legend Conan O'Brien's podcast offers a fun escape from mundane reality. In this podcast, Conan interviews a variety of starlets and significant people about their lives, values, and goals. A great recent episode that you should catch is his talk with Michelle Obama.

3. The Skinny Confidential: Him & Her

This podcast was introduced to me by a few of my friends and can be best described as "quintessentially LA." I am not a frequent listener, but hosts Lauryn Evarts and Michael Bosstick focus on interesting health developments and career-boosting motivation that leave anyone ready to "get after it."

4. And That's Why We Drink

For true crime fanatics and supernatural enthusiasts, this podcast melds both worlds together. Each podcast focuses on a true crime story and a ghost experience--all with some wine and milkshakes.

5. More Perfect

My favorite political podcast is "More Perfect." This podcast looks at constitutional law and some of the biggest Supreme Court cases that have significantly impacted our world today.

Why Blair Waldorf Is The Realest Bitch To Ever Live

"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.

Sophia Palmerine

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.
