I know the whole world is on the whole women empowerment movement, but unfortunately ladies, we are doing something wrong that we need to get called out on. Many of us either are just getting out of a relationship, in a relationship or seem to not leave the single status.

Sayings like "give it time" or "love will come when you least aspect it" are always on ladies minds, but what do they really mean. what seems like magical words actually have a method to its madness, so let's investigate the phrase, "Love will come when you least expect it."

First off, a quick disclaimer, I am single and I do have a little trouble finding the right person but aren't we all. I realized that when I started envisioning who my potential boyfriend would be I started creating something physically impossible. I hate to crush your dreams ladies, but sometimes we set the bar too high. This doesn't mean that you are going to find the biggest turd of a boy, but realize that sometimes you need to make a compromise to find the right guy. I always look for someone for ambition, honesty, athletic, funny, but sometimes you need to sacrifice some things to make it work.

Just because he might not have a perfect twelve pack doesn't mean he isn't the guy for you. As long as he treats you right and accepts you for who you are you are off to a good start.

Touching on what I said above, "accepting you for who you are" ladies I need to call us out again. We don't always have perfect hair, our face is not always perfectly contoured and sometimes we control so much that we do not act our true selves around some males we are attracted to. referring back to the phrase, "the when you least aspect it isn't necessarily fate, but when you act yourself. men usually catch you off guard because when your guard is down they can see you for who you really are. Now I know we all incision and wish he would pick you out from the crowd on the night you are wearing your best dress and hair and makeup on fleek, but I guarantee he might find you at the grocery store or maybe even in class.

Reality is, the front you put up might be unapproachable or not a great representation what kind of person you really are. Don't believe me? Usually, events where you meet potential men, usually advertising yourself by only complimenting your strengths or over exaggerating yourself leads to no second dates or relationship status. If you notice you are attracting the wrong men, you may be advertising yourself in the wrong way. Although we wish everything would be perfect, Its good to know that your relationship is built off of trust and honesty. being comfortable around your partner is important and you can't create that bond off of something that is not true.

The moral of the story is don't hide who you are because you are afraid to reveal the true you. Who cares what your favorite kind of music is, or where you like to shop, finding true love will come when you are true to you!

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.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
