A Letter To My Quad Squad
Alyssa Olsem

Dear Quad Squad,

We are made up of food runs, perverted jokes, and day long shopping trips. We laugh at and with each other. We tell each other how it is and aren't afraid to hold back our own opinions. We are four completely different human beings that have come together to take on the world, just as we are about to separate and embark on our own adventures in college. As we begin to part ways soon, anything could happen to any one of us.

In a year or two, we may no longer be friends and may become acquaintances, or our bond may have grown stronger within distance. Who knows what the world has in store for us, so let's have cheers to the few weeks we have left together. Cheers to the arguments we have experienced and grown from, cheers to the insane giggle fits at any time of day, and cheers to the love we have for each other.

This whole summer, we have planned around each other's schedules and now that it is August, we have to schedule around our departure dates. We have experienced so much together, and I have admired each of you since we first met. I aspire to have the confidence each of you contains.

You are all beautiful in your own ways, and your souls glow with warmth and kindness. You all will have successful and bright futures ahead of you and I can't wait to watch your life unfold before your eyes. I appreciate your care for me more than you could ever know.

I hope you will all receive the love you deserve from a significant other, don't settle because you deserve to be treated and respected like the queens you are. I know this isn't goodbye for forever, but as we move on to bigger and better things in the world, I want you to remember the little things.

The silence between us as we eat our ice cream in the shop, the sing-along dance jams in the car, the forgiveness we give each other after an argument, the way each of us talk when we are passionate about something, the way our face brightens and the hugs we give to each other after we go to long without seeing each other, and the way each of us smiles when we were truly happen.

The love I have for the Quad Squad is endless and I hope I never have to say goodbye to any one of you. Thank you for the love and support.

Sincerely,

1/4 of the Quad Squad

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!

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.

Top 10 Lessons I Learned My Freshman Year

The first year of college opens your eyes to so many new experiences.

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.
