I love falling in love with a song. Especially if the message within the lyrics have such deep meaning. feelings and thoughts invade your mind causing a commotion between your logical self and the romantic you.

"Cause if we don't leave this town
We might never make it out
I was not born to drown
Baby come on"


The mourning of death have clouded the sky for this couple. It's no longer a happy place, they are "drowning" in their own town filled with strangers. If nothing happens now and they don't take the leap, They are going to be walking the same streets everyday.

"Forget what Father Brennan said
We were not born in sin"

Religious beliefs can have a strong hold on people. It can determine if they go with their lover crossing states or stay with that they know. What most people tend to forget is that God is love, Always choose love.

"Let your mother know you're safe
And by the time she wakes
We'll have driven through the state
We'll have driven through the night"

The decesion has been made. The more miles you out on the car the more liberated you feel. A new complicated chapter starts to unfold and all you have is your love. Nevertheless it's a trial only the strongest survive.

"Pack yourself a toothbrush dear
Pack yourself a favorite blouse"

The vibes are right and her lover is staring right into her eyes. The intimacy in that moment sparks something of what some might call madness. They leave within seconds taking a chance on themselves. Are you willing to sleep on the floor?

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.
