A Pfeiffer Student's First Week Journal

The first week from my perspective.

Day one (Wednesday):

I made a poor choice choosing a class at 8 in the morning. I am not fully awake and I have no desire to get out of bed, why can't it still be Christmas break? I should get someone to make my coffee and breakfast in the morning so I don't have to get up as early. Is coffee and food really worth getting up early for? Hmmm, yes, yes it is. You know what they say, breakfast is the most important meal of the day!

Well, classes weren't much fun. We have a new organic chemistry professor from Costa Rica, he seems pretty cool. Being back to the cafe food sure hasn't been a highlight of coming back. It's the first day back for the semester and I already have homework and reading to do! These professors are crazy I swear, I'm not ready for this yet.

Day two (Thursday):

Actually got to sleep in today, that was nice. Children's literature was a great class, sure will be easy. Still searching for a personal coffee maker so anyone who wants to may apply now! Also, a new job position is being offered as well. I am now hiring a personal chef, just make food that is better than the cafe and we will be okay. My nighttime class was pretty horrible. Well, not all that bad, just bad because it's a six-hour class...other than that it should be a great class. RA duty tonight means I won't get too much sleep and I have my 8 am again tomorrow. I need that coffee maker now more than ever!

Day three (Friday):

Waking up for the 8am class was no easier than the first day. Although, it is Friday so that is an upside for sure! I was real disappointed that there was no coffee or breakfast ready for me when I woke up. I'm going to have to talk to someone about that. The cafe had chicken tenders today though, that was pretty hype. I think I'm most excited about getting some good sleep tonight more than anything. Other good news for today, had a FaceTime date with Jordan, that was a highlight of the week! Already miss her and it hasn't even been that long yet. The people above me are playing music so loud that it's rattling my ceiling...how can they even hear themselves think? Midnight and they finally turned the music off, what a relief! Well, the first week of school is over...hope the next few weeks goes by fast and isn't too hard.

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!

The college years are a time for personal growth and success. Everyone comes in with expectations about how their life is supposed to turn out and envision the future. We all freak out when things don't go exactly as planned or when our expectations are unmet. As time goes on, we realize that the uncertainty of college is what makes it great. Here are some helpful reminders about life in college.

Top 10 Lessons I Learned My Freshman Year

The first year of college opens your eyes to so many new experiences.

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.
