An Open Letter To My Forever Roomie
Sydney Eisenberg

Around this time, a lot of people know where they are going to be attending school in the fall. The next step to this college process is finding a roommate. As tedious and nerve wracking as the process of finding a roommate is, you will (hopefully) be happy with the person you choose to live with for your freshman year (and maybe even beyond) of college! I know that I'm happy to have found the perfect roommate. Here's to you my roomie lover BFF!!

To My Forever Roomie,

If it wasn't for you, I don't know how I'd survive college. Thank you for becoming my best friend and my sister in such a short amount of time. Let's bring it back to when we first met. Sliding into your Instagram DM's was a big step for me. Once we started talking, we figured out that we were easily the same person. When we were about to meet up for the first time, I was anxious. Anxious that things would not work out or that we would not get along. But thankfully, on that February day in New York City, I met my other half.

When we got to school this past fall, things were a little rough for me. Being homesick while going through sorority recruitment really isn't the most ideal combination. However, with you by my side, I was able to get through whatever life threw at me. Having your support means so much to me and I couldn't thank you enough for helping me overcome any obstacles I encountered while in college. I also know that I can talk to you about anything, whether it be family, friend, or boy related. And for that, I'm grateful for as well. I know that wherever life takes me or whatever life hands me, you will be a part of it.

I'm so lucky to have someone who loves "The Greatest Showman" as much as I do, someone who is as weird as I am, and someone who loves to eat (just) as much as I do. Thank you for always doing the roomie dance with me, for milly rocking to any song (especially classical music) with me, and for living in the most lit dorm with me. Also, thank you for making me laugh at anything and everything (especially memes and Vines) and for giving me the best advice. Words cannot describe how much you mean to me and how much our friendship means to me. I cherish every moment we have together, as well as every memory. I love you more than you will ever know and I'm so incredibly thankful and lucky to have you in my life. Especially as my freshman year college roommate!! Having you as my forever roomie makes me the happiest person ever, and I can't wait to see what is in store for us in the future!!

Love you beyond!!

XOXO,

Your Forever Roomie

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.

Because we made it, and because high school seniors deserve to know what they're getting themselves into

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!

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.
