If you knew me in seventh grade going into eighth grade you knew who I obsessed over. The ICONic Boyz. These Boyz were the center of my universe anything that had to do with them I bought it, anything they went too I went too, I was an ultimate fangirl. I never thought this day would come but here are reasons as to why I miss being an ICONiac.

1. The late night voting sessions.

I was in seventh grade staying up all night on my blackberry texting in a number to vote to keep them safe. The boyz ended up coming in second place to I.aM.mE crew.

2. The meet and greets

I remember waiting to see PacificRimVideos with Chris interviewing fans at all the meet and greets. I attended three meet and greets when I was younger, Manalapan Day (June 11th, 2011), RollerJam (September 1st, 2011), Halloween Party (October 30th, 2011), and then one of Vinny's Dance Classes (December 17th, 2011).

3. The Tumblr days

If you were a fan of the boyz you one hundred percent had a Tumblr account. On Tumblr, we would talk about anything. From how unfair ABDC was, to fan fictions about the Boyz, and other things like gifs and "unseen" pictures.

4. The dances

They had some of the best dances on ABDC and that's exactly why they came in second place. One of my favorite ones was their Teenage Dream dance (look it up on YouTube you won't regret it).

5. The Vlados

If you didn't own a pair of Vlados you were a fake fan (I had the black and pink ones but I never wore them).

6. They were adorable

I was the same age as them when they were famous and I was absolutely obsessed with them especially Nick Mara (pictured above). Everyone had their one favorite and your favorite was yours and couldn't be anyone else's.

7. The Merch

The ICONic Boyz had some of the coolest merch. I remember having sweatpants for their dance studio ICON and a t-shirt with their logo on it (This shirt said Boys will be Boyz).

8. The other boyz we didn't know about

Only seven of the ICONic Boyz were on ABDC so when I found out about the other six boyz I was shook (I still have that poster signed by all of them).

9. We all wanted Geo to be our dance instructor

Geo was the coolest. Hands down don't argue.

10. Open Houses at ICON

Even if you didn't attend the open house, standing outside waiting for the boyz to come out of ICON was the best.

11. We all wanted to be apart of the ICONic Girlz

We all wanted to be one of them. They were all perfect and amazing dancers (@Alexis Hargrave you are still my favorite).

12. We also wanted to be apart of the ICONic Dollz

The older more mature ones that we all wanted to be like when we grew up (@Nicolette Fusco who isn't in this picture I love you).

13. They're matching outfits

They were the best things to ever happen to me especially the neon yellow Adidas jumpsuits.


These days were some of the best days of my life and I will always miss them and regret not cherishing them more. @ICONicBoyz I miss and love you always.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Everybody gets sick once in a while, but getting sick while in college is the absolute worst. You're away from home and your mom who can take care of you and all you really want to do is just be in your own bed. You feel like you will have never-ending classwork to catch up on if you miss class, so you end up going sick and then it just takes longer to get better. Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
