Dearest Piece of Modern Technology,

Sure we've had our ups and downs, but let's be honest here, what would I do without you in my life? Without you how would I go to a job that requires the work of a smart phone, stay connected with my friends and family, or psychotically stalk everyone I know on social media and assume it's totally normal. I'm not the only one here, don't lie to yourself!

Of course by this point in my life I have come into contact with a few "technological difficulties" here and there that have crippled my enjoyment with you iPhone. But, never would I let that come between our relationship! Why would I need my apple charger to not break after only a couple weeks of using it? Or rather, why wouldn't I want a phone that requires a protective glass screen cover because of how fragile smartphone touch screens are? I mean doesn't that just sound like the cat's meow? Yeah, I think so too.

On another, more appreciative note, I really could not live without you dear iPhone. Because of you, I am able to go to work. I can check the weather every day at the touch of a finger to know if it's a good beach day or not. As a lover of photography, I'm eternally grateful that your camera is sometimes almost as good as professional ones since it comes complete with HDR features and awesome time-lapse and slow motion effects. Of course I am eternally grateful for all of these amazing feats, but what about all those problems iPhone and Apple has caused us in the past?

Even so, I will say that you are the only one for me, iPhone. I can't imagine having to succumb to the life of the Andrioid users. Why would I want to? My Snapchat stories would come up looking all warped, my emojis would look different -- the list goes on!

In the end, life without you, my dear, simply would not suffice. God forbid all of us millennials have to go back to a time when having a smartphone wasn't looked at as the societal norm. Sure, humanity might benefit from a bit of a technological downgrade, but who's to say we could effectively go back to that point in time? The future is all about new advancements, new technologies and new ways of life. As a proud iPhone user, I am happy to embrace this technology no matter how much it adapts. I'm sure we can all agree that life without being constantly connected to our social media worlds would be nothing compared to the pleasant joys given to us by our beloved Apple products.

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.

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!
