Oh, you have dark skin? Let's create slavery and hurt humans for others own pleasure. Blonde? You must be dumb. Girl? Why aren't you in the kitchen? Mexican? Get on the other side of the wall. Have a disorder? Gay? That's not ok.

Well... guess what? Most of the population whether it's that they have a different skin tone or as simple as their gender, are all uniquely different. The fact of the matter is, most of the population is DIFFERENT! We are humans and one of the things that make us so amazing are the many varieties and unique traits we have. It is a blessing, not something that people should be using as a tactic to gain power, make fun of people, and push others down. The human race is all different so how can you make fun of differences? It really makes no sense to me how someone is that evil, let alone absent-minded, selfish, and power needy, that they need to push others down for them to feel more superior! In the end, not only do these actions not help or improve oneself but can lead to one's own demise and a very negative lifestyle. This has become a pattern that humans keep on repeating, causing us to trip on our own feet and cause our race to break apart and fight one another instead of progressing forward as a whole. This act can cause a group of people to live a life full of judgment and suffering.

Even I feel a daily pressure and norm that society has placed on girls; the acceptable and not acceptable barriers that condemn me.

When did kindergarten rules like, "Treat others the way you want to be treated" become ignored? I've realized that this basic rule you are taught when you're a child isn't followed by many adults. It's easy to put yourself in someone else's shoes and wonder, what would it be like? For any progress or positive move for the human race to occur, people need to stop pushing others down and ignoring the fact of the matter. Instead of being glad you are not in that other person's shoes, why not help them, and empower people? This is a basic rule that two-year-olds can follow, so why the hell can't adults?!

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!
