To my one and only Floofy,

A year and a half ago, when we had our first real conversation at three in the morning, I thought you wouldn’t care to talk to me again. You didn’t. You texted me again five hours later.

A year and a few months ago when you first told me how you wanted for us to get closer, I thought that you would regret this decision later and tell me you changed your mind. You didn’t. We kept being great friends.

Almost a year ago when I finally decided that I was ready for us, I thought that you would hate me. But again, you didn’t.

For the past year, you surprised me many times and the largest surprise of all is that they were all good ones. I can’t count all of the times that you have comforted and forgiven me.

When I explained my whole background and my family and how everything is just so complicated and difficult, I broke down and cried. I remember feeling that it was all my fault and I just dragged you into my mess. But you kept repeating “It’s not your fault. It’s not your fault”.

When I brought up my depression and my mood swings, I thought you would think that I was making up excuses. I was nervous about how you would react but you said “I know how it feels so don’t worry about it”.

I hate being corny but there is so much that you have done for me. I know you wouldn’t think that you said or did much but it was much more than I had ever expected. Your patience and understanding blows my mind to this day. When I think of all of the tears from last year, I also think of your kindness.

It’s only been one year but it feels so much more has happened than possible within that time span. Thank you for making that time so much more meaningful and happy.

Happy one year.

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!

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

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.
