5 Things The State Of Michigan Must Be Thinking At Any Given Moment

"Don't they know about second winter?"

Okay, so if you are a true Michigander, you know that our state has some crazy weather. CRAY-Z. I have lived in this state my entire life, so I'm used to it, but it doesn't mean it still doesn't make me question what is happening when it's 60 degrees one day and snowing the next (not an exaggeration).

I guess Michigan just likes to spice things up and keep us on our toes, and make us pack an umbrella, short sleeve shirt, and a winter coat on hand just in case. We will never truly know why Michigan weather is like it is (I'm sure there's some scientific reason but that's not as fun), so here's what I think Michigan is thinking as we head into our second winter/mud season:

1. "I have to make sure that these people don't get too comfortable"

Don't worry, Michigan, we are always on the lookout for your next clever move. Rain? Sunshine? Blizzard? Who knows.

2. "Maybe if I make it a white-out people will stop driving like idiots."

lol you thought

3. "I'll throw in a warm day here and there to give them hope for spring--maybe go take a dip in a pothole. HA. Psych!"


GOOD ONE.

4. "Man, I'm such a generous state. Instead of only one season at once, these people get all 4 at random times."

Truly a miracle.

5. "It's my signature move... I can't disappoint by changing my ways."


You're right... you would throw us for a loop if it was any other way.

Don't get me wrong. I love my state! The fresh water, the forests, the beaches, the farm fields, the cities, we really have it all. Plus, we get to have all the seasons (even though some last longer than we'd like and some come at very inopportune times *cough cough* winter *cough cough*) But hey, it's our state and we will get through it together.

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!
