To My Best Friend Who Is Not My Best Friend Anymore, I Hope You Forgive Me

P.S. Not once did I ever think you would be the one to leave.

This poem is attributed to my neighboring ex-best friend whom I pushed and pushed away due to my selfishness. This poem represents who I was, as well as who I want to become to better myself- hopefully alongside her again. Not only were you my bestfriend but you were my other half- I'm crawling on my knees at your door and begging for you to forgive me.


It's been 168 hours since we've been apart and I've slept through a total of almost 100.

Seven days. 168 hours.

All unrequited effort and all alone.

Each of the seven days is a seemlessly broken record- in a sense that my own body walks this Earth, detached from my soul.

So I sit back on autopilot, as I surrender to myself. Hoping that the action of me repenting my sins will give me another chance to have you back.

Hours that stretched into days in which I don't know the name of anymore.

I'm pathetically confused- characterizing myself into a complete damsel in distress.

I'm decompensating in efforts to get help without any answers coming back to me and this pity-party I've created thus far, is all in hope of waiting for you to magically appear back, so you can save me from myself.

Day-dreaming, I find comfort in my bed as I reminisce on

every last,

little

moment.

Every secret and song session;

Every laugh and cry.

Every meal and vacation with each other.

Every hope and wish,

dream and desire;

Along with each and every goal that we use to fully dedicate ourselves to completing, together.

Forever and always, remember?


Forever yours,

Morose

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!

Here are some helpful reminders about life in college.

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.
