These last couple of months I've been trying to get healthy after the very dreaded freshman 15 (it ain't no joke). And from a fellow lazy girl, here are some of the struggles and thoughts I have had while working out.

1. “What did I just get myself into?”

Giphy

When you are holding that plank for 30 seconds and it becomes eternal and you start questioning why you are putting yourself through this.

2. “I wonder what I’m going to eat after this”

Giphy

Two words. Food = motivation. But the struggle is real. Your mind is telling you healthy but your heart is telling you to treat yo'self.

3. “I need new gym clothes”

Giphy

You're a sweaty mess after your workout and you realize that it's the only workout outfit you own. Another excuse to do a little shopping.

4. ”Who knew I had a muscle there?”

Giphy

You know when your doing that workout video and you're in a super awkward exercise position and all of sudden some muscle starts burning that you didn't even realize existed? #feeltheburn

5. "I’m going to be sore tomorrow"

Giphy

What tomorrow's workout is going to look like with the soreness you feel.

6. “I hope my neighbors don’t get annoyed with these burpees”

Giphy

So I workout in my apartment. On the second floor. And them workout videos have a so many burpees, that I'm surprised I haven't gotten any noise complaints.

7. “Let me take a lil break”

Giphy

Your 2 minutes into the video and an out of breath sweaty mess, so the only thing you can think to do is pause the video…. Forever. Ok maybe not forever but just for a sec.

8. “Do it for the workout selfie”

Giphy

That motivation you have to share your workout selfie with your exercise group gets you a long way.

9. “ I better have abs after this”

Giphy

Expecting results after one 10-minute workout. Trust me, I wish it worked like that too.

10. “I did it!!!!”

Giphy

Finishing the workout might be hard but once its over you feel so good!!

The struggle is real but we you got this! Don't give up on being your healthiest self.

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.
