With the election of the new President comes a lot of extra talk about specific topics that may not typically be discussed. One of the big topics of discussion throughout the media is the topic of abortion. This is a sensitive subject for some people while for others it is a no brainer.

One of the many beauties about living in the United States is that everyone is entailed to their own opinion and have the right to stand up for what they believe in. The saying is "you really don't know someone's situation until you walk in their shoes." So categorizing ALL women under one umbrella is wrong.

NO ONE likes abortion so being Pro- Choice does not make me want abortions to happen but every situation is different for every person. So I am standing up for ALL the women. Deciding to have an abortion has to be one of the most heartbreaking decisions that a woman would have to make but that decision could be the decision that saves her life. Not every woman's body is capable of carrying a child, not every rape victim is emotionally or finically stable to have a child. You just don't know someone's situation.

Putting restrictions on someone who more than likely is already going through an emotionally hard time just puts more strain on the carrier of the child. A man will never truly know or experience what it is like to carry life, so the fact that one thinks he is entailed to try to restrict what I do with my own body is beside me. I feel that it is a basic human right to be able to decide what happens to your body. The best thing to do about this subject is to educate yourself and keep an open mind.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
