I will never stop trying to win him over.

The two largest killers of a relationship are money and complacency. While we can't always keep money out of a relationship (especially a marriage), complacency is something that can be avoided.

I realized the dangers of complacency before I got married after my fiancé and I had been together for three years. The little things that used to be funny and cute became annoying. His once cute mannerisms in doing things a little slower than me quickly became annoying and irritating when we began working together.

I thought that one day our bad habit of fighting over little things and bickering would cease but it has only gotten worse over the years. The point is, things are going to be hard. You think that in getting more comfortable with one another, things get easier and that you may fight less. But this is a lie and you'll find that out soon.

You will find that the best thing to do in this situation is to never stop acting like you're trying to win over your significant over. By this, I mean that you should never feel complacent or "used to" your relationship or your significant other. Never stop doing the things that make them smile for no other reason than to see them smile. As life moves on, you may find these little things tedious and time-consuming, but doing those little things will save your relationship and save you from so many pointless fights.

I have been with my fiancé for nearly 4 years now but I will never stop trying to win him over. I will never stop getting butterflies when he asks me on a date and I will never push him away when he kisses me in the middle of a sentence.

I will never stop dating my fiancé, even when he becomes my husband. I will never stop trying to surprise him because those little things keep the spark in a relationship and will keep the spark in our marriage. Every relationship takes effort on both ends. As long as you're both trying to date each other no matter how long you've been together, your relationship will survive anything.

I will never stop trying to win him over even though I already have because I know the second that I do is the second that my relationship stops being 50/50. My relationship deserves my entire effort, heart, mind, and soul because my fiance deserves that.

My marriage deserves all that I can give it because the moment I become complacent and settle with less than what I deserve and less than what my fiance and relationship deserve, that is the moment my relationship will fail.

I will never stop dating my husband because he deserves better, and so do I.

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.

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.
