To My Ex Best Friend...

Hey girl! What's up? How you been? I can see so many things haven't changed. Still as salty as ever.

I'm not writing this to you to bash you because you have done that enough for the both of us and I just don't roll that way. I just wanted to say thank you. Yes you heard that right, thank you!

Thank you for showing me how a real friend isn't supposed to act. It might have taken me 12 years of you walking all over me, abusing our friendship, looking down on me and putting me down to finally realize but boy are my eyes open now.

Now that I am 25 years old I have come to find out who my true friends are in my life. I will forever keep these types of people close to my heart. They are genuine people who care about what is going on in my life, how well I succeed, and always share their love. They were never trying to one up me or are always focused on themselves or being right all the time & in case you didn't know, this is exactly how you were.

I hope you are happy with where you are in your life. I hope your family is doing well and I hope you have everything you could ever want. But what I also hope is that you have opened your eyes and realized you can't treat people the way you treat them for the rest of your life. I promise you it will never work out.

So I thank you for teaching me many lessons but I really thank you for no longer being in my life.

Good luck,

The best friend you will never have again.

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.

"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.

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!

Here are some helpful reminders about life in college.
