I've never been more ready for a week off.

I think it's safe to say that I have never been more ready for spring break in all my years of school. These past couple of months since the start of the semester have been incredibly hectic, and I've often felt like I didn't have a single moment to breathe. However, spring break has finally arrived. Whether you're going back home or somewhere completely different, here are a few things to enjoy during your week off.

1. Your pet

I can't wait to curl in with my pup and enjoy the free time I'll finally have.

2. Not spending hours working every night

The best feeling is when you can actually take time to yourself to relax and not have to think of what you should be doing instead.

3. Driving!

Not having a car in college may be a little less to worry about, but there's no denying the calming feeling that comes with driving around your hometown.

4. Time away from screens

I spend the majority of my day using my computer or my phone, and I absolutely hate it. It's freeing to be able to leave my phone out of sight and out of mind for almost the entire day.

5. Catching up with friends

Even if we're lucky enough to have our spring breaks fall on the same week, it's not likely we'll be home the whole time. All it takes is a lunch, though, to remember why you love these people.

6. Time for family

After not having seen them for months, it's comforting to be around family again.

7. Being out of your dorm

A change of scenery never hurts.

8. Getting out of town

As much as we love our college towns, it's always nice to have a little break and see something different.

9. Catching up on shows

With all the work to do, it's pretty much impossible to keep up with new episodes every week, much less the new seasons of Netflix shows.

10. Not waking up to alarms every morning

Sleep to your heart's content.

11. Getting to stay in bed as long as you want

You don't have to rush to get to your 9:00 class, so take your time and savor the calm.

I absolutely cannot wait.

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!

Here are some helpful reminders about life in college.

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.
