Dear Future Soulmate,

For starters, you are a saint for agreeing to spend the rest of your life with me. Honestly, I can't think of one person who can say, "Yes, that girl is sane enough for you to spend the rest of your days with," but you did (assuming I do end up with a husband one day!).

I may not know much about you now, but I know enough about myself to know there's at least a few characteristics you have to have to be considered my husband.

For instance, I love that you help me bring out the very best version of myself. It is because when I am with you I realized why no other relationship worked in the past. People are meant to find other people for a reason, including the ones that don't stay in your life. I'm just here to testify that the not-so-lucky ones who didn't make it to your walk down the isle are just proof that they weren't 100 percent you. It is exhausting and a waste of time to try and be someone else, especially in relationships, and that's why finding someone like you lets me know I can be 100 percent myself, and the best version of myself.

To the next item on the agenda, thank you for agreeing to keep my dog as ours. No, I don't have a dog yet, but yes, I am getting one in the very near future. I simply cannot wait any longer, and I also know that as my husband you will accept the fact that my dog is basically my life and soul and practically my child.

Thank you for still agreeing to marry me even after you saw me become the biggest Bridezilla in the world. Not that I'm saying I'm a mean person, but a girl's wedding is really one of the few things in life she has the right to be a complete monstor about, am I right? Girls start planning this very special day in our lives from the time when we are very young and don't even know that cooties aren't a real thing.

Lastly, thank you for being my support system. As a husband I would naturally expect for you to do things like, but not limited to: telling me my stupid ideas are the most brilliant ideas anyone has ever had, continuing to give me compliments even when I don't agree with them because I'll never see myself the way you do, for saying all the meals that I cooked were good, even the ones that were "new experiments", and finally, when I truly and physically cannot support anything else because the world is just too cruel and stressful, I'm thankful to have you by my side to take over the reins because in the end, life isn't fun when you're going at it alone.

Sincerely,

I've Already Picked Out The Flowers For The Tables

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

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!

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.
