This is a response to 5 Positive Effects of CBD Oil.

Cannabidiol, or CBD, is the lesser-known branch of the cannabis sativaplant; its more famous sibling, tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, is the active ingredient in pot that creates users’ “high.” With many states still choosing to make marijuana illegal, CBD has picked up traction as the legal medicinal choice. The main difference between THC and CBD is the psychoactive effects. While THC gives users a high, CBD binds differently to cannabinoid receptors the body naturally produces that don't create a high.

When people want the benefits of cannabis without the high, CBD is the perfect choice. CBD provides many benefits and comes in many forms to take. Some of the benefits of CBD include:

* Relieves pain

* Reduces nausea

* Eases depression

* Decreases seizures

* Helps insomnia

* Relieves PTSD

* Eases anxiety

CBD comes in the form of gummies, drinks, snacks, oils and more. One thing to be cautious about when choosing a CBD product is the quality of the CBD and how much THC can be present. While it does not always come back positive, a positive drug test is still possible when taking CBD.

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.
