ATLANTA, GEORGIA

Georgia Governor Nathan Deal resigned this past weekend due to inclement weather. Snow, sleet and ice-plagued the streets of Georgia this past weekend while Walmart's bread and milk sales tripled. Having only served the state of Georgia from 2011, he has surprisingly seen several "snowpocalypses" during his term.

During his resignation speech, Deal stated:

"I just can't do this anymore. We have one salt truck. If the people of Georgia even think about snow, the state completely shuts down. It's too much for one man to handle. It has been an amazing five years serving y'all."

Deal left abruptly and refused questions from press.

After picking up milk and preparing for impending doom, Deal returned with a young man.

"This is Mark. He's a clerk at Wal-Mart and has held the state together better than I ever could have. Mark is in charge now."

Mark had no comment on this nomination.

In 2014, during the snow storm that brought Georgia to its knees, Deal was unable to prevent the tragedy that followed. Georgia cows began striking, refusing to produce more milk after excess sales due to snow. Georgia highways were backed up for miles, but no one was really surprised about that. Walmart, Thomas Bread and Mayfield stocks spiked and caused massive economic fluctuation.

We interviewed one North Georgia citizen to hear what they had to say about this horrific event.

"I don't like to think about it. When I close my eyes, I still see grocery stores with more people than food," Atlanta professor Grace Shoeman said as she recounted the catastrophic series of incidents.

"People camped out on the highway because they don't understand the word 'Hazardous'. Why aren't we prepared for this? What is wrong with this state?"

After less than one inch of snow, conditions deteriorated in the southern state. Despite the lack of snow on the roads, 15 accidents occurred within an hour of the so-called blizzard. We found a native New Yorker — who had recently moved to Georgia —outside tanning and attempted to interview them. Unfortunately, we could not hear their comments through bellowing laughter at the word, 'snowpocalypse'.

Without a governor to hold accountable for the poor weather, Georgians looked to the stressed Walmart clerk left in charge. He was found curled up in the fetal position, crying.

With the winter storm behind us, as the dust settles, we say goodbye to Governor Deal. Thank you for never preparing us for snow in almost six years of service. You will be missed.

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

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!

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.
