With spring break just around the corner, everyone is getting antsy. Girls are starting to eat only a granola bar a day, the gym is busier than I've ever seen, and people are trying to get their plans in order. The best part about spring break isn't just that it's a week off of school (which is amazing don't get me wrong), but it's a week off where college kids can basically go wherever they want with some of their best friends. Here's some of the classic places you'll find college students heading to in the coming weeks.

1. Destin

Destin, or basically any Florida beach is a classic move for spring break. It's an ideal place to go because how cheap it is to get a condo and cram all 15 of your friends in there for less than $250 for the week. Although spring break is in March and it'll still be kinda cold, you can catch pretty much every freshman chilling on the beach all week.

2. Cancun

There's always that one group whose parents are obviously not worried about money and send their kids off to Cancun for the week. Don't get me wrong, this does sound absolutely amazing but no way I could afford that on top of tuition. Props to you if you're going though.


3. Haiti

Definitely can't forget about the people heading out to serve for the week. Many of them spend the week playing with kids or building a playground for them to play on. I admire them so much to give up their potential beach trip to go to Haiti or somewhere else and give back. Hopefully, I'll get the chance to do this in the next 3 years.

4. Home

One thing you can't deny you low-key want to do is just take the week off at home. Although it may not be the crazy beach weekend everyone dreams of when they come to college, it exactly what you need. There's nothing like a home-cooked meal and a couple great nights of sleep in your own bed.

I am personally doing the classic freshman thing and heading to Destin in a few weeks for a much needed week of relaxation. Of course, I'm squeezing in some time at home too for the last few days before heading back to Ole Miss for the remainder of the semester. I'm sure you'll see many posts of all of the colleges' kids heading to various parts of the country for spring break, so you're bound to see the ones I mentioned too!

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!

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.
