Often times I live my life and imagine what my soundtrack would be. Other times, I listen to soundtracks and they really define what life is right now. The other night, one of my friends/roommates and I were having some music education and I stumbled upon the Shrek 2 soundtrack. I've never had an album so perfectly describe the second half of college. Shrek is life. Enjoy.

1. 'Accidentally In Love' by Counting Crows

Counting Crows knew what they were talking about. We all also know there's that one person you fall for even though you know you shouldn't.

2. 'Holding Out For A Hero' by Frou Frou

When you know you deserve someone special and you are ok with waiting for them. (The Frou Frou Version)

3. 'Changes' by Butterfly Boucher

Friend groups change, life changes, plans change; basically, everything you ever thought would happen just isn't quite what you planned for.

4. 'As Lovers Go' (Ron Fair Remix) by Dashboard Confessional

You're talking about when I order pizza or treat myself with Insomnia Cookies right?

5. 'Funkytown' by Lipps Inc.

Deciding that even though we are more serious upperclassmen now, fun nights are still deserved. Get that Funk on.

6. 'I'm on My Way' by Rich Price

...to insanity, to the bar, to class, the options are endless and all appropriate. Or, this is our response to free food.

7. 'I Need Some Sleep' by Eels

Every. College. Student. Ever.

8. 'Ever Fallen In Love' by Pete Yorn

This one is a classic used to defer concerned friends when you make stupid decisions. It's ok to be dumb sometimes.

9. 'Little Drop of Poison' by Tom Waits

What group members in group projects need. Or that professor that is as utter pain. Or just the people who are too obnoxious to handle. Its quite the relatable song.

10. 'You're So True' by Joseph Arthur

When you meet someone who matches your awkward weirdness.

11. 'People Ain't no Good' by Nick Cave

When you go through a best friend breakup. Who are people anyway?!

12. 'Fairy Godmother Song' by Jennifer Saunders

When you go out on the town to try to meet people, or just impress someone in class, and your friend gives you a makeover.

13. 'Livin La Vida Loca' by Eddie Murphy, Antonio Banderas

How we all feel by the end of the semester.

14. 'Holding Out for a Hero' by Jennifer Saunders

The best remix ever. 'Where have all the good men gone?!'

To The Girls With "Daddy Issues," You Are Worthy Of The Love He Never Gave You

You are not alone.

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.

Why Blair Waldorf Is The Realest Bitch To Ever Live

XOXO, Gossip Girl.

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.

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.

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.

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.
