Hey! I'm Alex.

And you are your own self. I like that.

Hey! I'm Alex.
Hailee Jeske

Hello. My name is Alex. My favorite color is blue. I'm interested in photography, writing, and vinyl records. I'm a senior in high school and am going off to college soon. I run on the track team and have been running since the 5th grade. I hate following rules and I love living without a strictly detailed plan. My mind runs fast and I go with the flow comfortably and am happiest without a schedule. I may be relaxed but my work ethic is strong and when I'm told to do a task, I complete it. I've never been good at math, but I do well in all other subjects. I have big dreams for my life both leisure-wise and career-wise like traveling the world and scoring a nice job in a big city at a company I enjoy.

Well that's my condensed autobiography for you, now allow me to tell you why I wrote all about myself tonight.

I'm 110% positive that your own biography wouldn't sound exactly like mine. I'll even take it a step further, I'm sure that out of the seven billion-some people living on the earth right now, no one would have a story that sounds like mine. That's a wonderfully, beautiful thing. Everyone is different and everyone has their own personality. That makes them happy, that's all. Everyone deserves their chance at happiness. Finding what interests you and makes you happy is necessary in enjoying life. There's no way that every single person is going to view an object the same as the next and how that impacts them is all a part of their personality. Personalities range all over the place. In same cases, we may enjoy another person's personality and in some others, we may collide and disagree. That's completely fine. It's in those collisions that we realize that there is no way that we will be able to please everyone we encounter. Some people are meant to NOT be a directly positive influence to us, it's the collision in itself that is positive to us in a way or form. When you're living in a sphere filled with seven billion other personalities, you are bound to find yourself disagreeing with someone and it's meant to happen.

I've realized that not everyone will agree with me in life and that's wonderful. If everyone in the world had the same personality then nothing would be interesting. Everything would be looked at from the same angle even though beauty can be found at so many different angles. I'm glad that someone else's favorite color is red and that they love having rules and structure. I love the fact that someone else would hate having a job in a downtown office. I love that everyone is different than me. I love that although we are all human, we are all wildly different.

Don't hate someone because they don't click with you. Don't think of someone any less because of the way they view the world. Besides, they are on the same hunt for happiness as you, and no one should be deprived of that. Embrace the differences of the world, it keeps this place colorful.

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!

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.
