This month has been the slightest taste of 2017 and from what I can tell, it doesn't seem too terrible. In case you need some motivation in the cold, tired, or ill, its about 320 days until Christmas, and thats all you need to hear. Without further ado, the monthly faves.

Spotify playlist. This mine has a lot of gems in it, simply due to the new year. The next best thing to being talked about at the end of the year, is being the only thing talked about at the beginning, at least in the music world. That being said, artists have been coming out with material left and right and below.


Glam Glow GLOWSTARTER Mega Illuminating Moisturizer. If you are on the hunt for a new moisturizer or just want your face to feel hydrated and glowy, you at least need a finger of this stuff. With very very light shimmer and a champagne mask, you will soon be confused with someone very holy.

Chocolate Holler. In light of local favorites, this one is easily added to the list. As an extension of a regular coffee hub, this unique chocolatier takes Willy Wonka to the brim. Whether you're in the mood for liquid cookie dough hot chocolate or a flight of chocolates with a splash of milk, @chocolateholler has you covered (in chocolate).

This Is Us. Yes, this is indeed the TV show everyone has been talking about. I haven't exactly gotten caught up to the real time NBC releases, but from what I have seen, I can tell why this appeals to so many people. Also, Mandy Moore being back on the globe is very ideal.

Tory Burch Love Relentlessly

. I'm more of a musk, amber kind of girl, but recently I've been drawn to this more floral scent. Perhaps the lust for spring and warm, it's a light, but flirty dose that everyone should sniff.

Made Good Chocolate Chip Granola Bars. I definitely used to be loyal to the Crunchy Peanut Butter Clif Bars, I'm not gonna lie, but recently these bars are what I've been reaching for. Surprisingly made with vegetables, and free from 8 allergens or so, these pack a large taste and multiple flavors for maximum yummy.

Tune in next month for the new new.

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.

11 Moments Every College Freshman Has Experienced

Because we made it, and because high school seniors deserve to know what they're getting themselves into

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!

The college years are a time for personal growth and success. Everyone comes in with expectations about how their life is supposed to turn out and envision the future. 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.

1. "If I'm wearing black tomorrow, it's because I'm mourning my grade."

2. "Do you want to try ordering Chinese takeout to take back to the stacks?"

3. "This final paper has me questioning if this professor just sucks or is Satan himself."

4. "Is that person over there OK? They've been sleeping for a while."

5. "Why are you online shopping?"

"I want to motivate myself to study."

"Since when do you have money to buy something anyway?"

6. "I wonder how much I could make as a stripper."

7. "There are no stress relief dogs, and I feel conned. My stress today is worse than yesterday."

8. "Rate My Professor screwed me over."

9. "I wore these clothes yesterday, and maybe even the day before, but it's fine."

10. "I wonder if I could sneak a beer in here."

11. "I just really want chocolate chip cookies."

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.
