And The Oscar Goes To...

I've collected my personal (and possibly a little biased) Oscar picks.

And The Oscar Goes To...
Awards Watch

The Oscars are around the corner- another chance for us to escape into the glamor of Hollywood for a few hours. Today, I'm stepping into the shoes of the Oscar committee and passing out Oscars like Oprah.


Best picture/cast that I’d most like to adopt me:

Nominees:

- Hell or High Water

- La La Land

- Hidden Figures

- Hacksaw Ridge

- Arrival

- Fences

- Lion

- Moonlight

- Manchester By The Sea

Winner: Hidden Figures

Janelle Monáe. Octavia Spencer. Taraji P. Henson. The three mothers I never knew I needed.

Honorable Mention: Arrival

Amy Adams and Jeremy Renner would be an unstoppable parenting duo.

Best lead actor/actor that I’d most like to settle down and have a few kids with:

Nominees:

- Ryan Gosling (La La Land)

- Denzel Washington (Fences)

- Andrew Garfield (Hacksaw Ridge)

- Casey Affleck (Manchester By The Sea)

- Viggo Mortensen (Mister Fantastic)

Winner: Ryan Gosling

I know it's mainstream, but I just couldn't turn this beauty down. I mean LOOK AT HIM.

Honorable Mention: Andrew Garfield

Because of his nerdy charm and, truly, to say that I'm married to Spider-Man.

Best lead actress/actress that I’d most like to get D-RUNK with:

Nominees:

- Isabelle Huppert (Elle)

- Ruth Negga (Loving)

- Natalie Portman (Jackie)

- Emma Stone (La La Land)

- Meryl Streep (Florence Foster Jenkins)

Winner: Complete, unbreakable tie between Emma Stone and Meryl Streep.

Emma and I would bond over awkward encounters and our shared love of food of all kinds.

Truly, I just think Meryl would go from 'dancing on tables' drunk to 'political Trump rants' drunk in the blink of an eye, and I'm so there for it.

Best original score/music that I’d most like to be the soundtrack to my life:

Nominees:

- Jackie

- La La Land

- Lion

- Moonlight

- Passengers

Winner: La La Land

With this music playing in the background of my daily life, I would be tap-dancing my way around town.

Best animated film/animated film I’d most like to get stuck in:

Nominees:

- Kubo And The Two Strings

- Moana

- My Life As A Zucchini

- Zootopia

- The Red Turtle

Winner: Moana

Because: Girl power.

Honorable Mention: Zootopia

It would be like a weird episode of The Twilight Zone, but I would love running around with Judy and Nick as they solve crimes and break down barriers.

Best makeup/makeup artist that I need most in my life:

Nominees:

- A Man Called Ove (Eva von Bahr and Love Larson)

- Star Trek Beyond (Joel Harlow and Richard Alonzo)

- Suicide Squad (Alessandro Bertolazzi & Crew)

Winner: Passengers

Okay, so I cheated; Passengers wasn't nominated. But I want to look as good as Jennifer Lawrence after having been hibernated in space. (Honestly, how does her hair still look so nice?!)

Honorable Mention: Suicide Squad

I wouldn't mind looking like Margot Robbie in any form, even if it's as Harley Quinn.

So prepare your best ballgowns and get ready to settle in on the couch for the night as the most beautiful people in the world come together in one room.

May we all be as excited as Eddie Redmayne receiving an Oscar.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
