"No Tomorrow"is a romantic comedy- drama. The series follows a woman named Evie, which is a risk-averse quality-control assessor who falls for free-spirited, thrill seeker Xavier. Xavier claims that there is an asteroid heading straight towards earth. He believes that humankind only has eight months and twelve days until the asteroid hits and blasts humankind out of existence. With the help of her friends, they try to find out if he can be taken seriously or not. While doing so they complete a bucket list.

Evie and Xavier each carry around a little book that they write in. Each item on the list is numbered to keep track of how many different adventures, fears they overcome, and little things that they always wanted to do.

Then I got to thinking if I found out I had eight months and twelve days left, would I be happy with everything I have done so far? The answer would be 'NO'. I haven't seen or done half the things that I have wanted to. Life is about living it to the fullest- life is not about how much money you have or what kind of car you drive. Life is about learning to live. Here are just some ideas of adventures and fears that I'm talking about:

1. Surf in Bali

2. Take a ride in a hot-air balloon

3. Swim with sharks with no cage

4. Climb the highest peak in the world

5. See the Northern Lights

6. Crash a huge Party

7. Run in a marathon

8. Stay in an Ice Hotel

9. Go skydiving

10. Go Zorbing

11. Attend the Olympics

Let's start living life. Don't be scared to go outside your comfort zone and try remarkable things. Live life to the fullest.

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!

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.
