Christmas

I love Christmas because not only is it the best time of year but because every once is so much nicer and the world is just so full of cheer.

My favorite Christmas tradition would have to be hanging out with family on Christmas Eve, just playing board games and singing karaoke until the clock strikes midnight and we can all open our gifts. It's obviously not about the gifts, it should never be, but the only reason I like it is because it reminds me of my childhood and how excited i used to be every single Christmas. I become a kid again at the dawn of Christmas Day, and I love it!

One of my favorite Christmas gifts of all time would have to be when I got my Nintendo wii! It was the best because it was so new at the time and "Just Dance" was the best game to play on it by far!

I will always love Christmas because I get to be with my family and close friends, all united for the best time of the year where we can be in our pajamas, wrapped up in blankets, drinking hot cocoa and watching Christmas movies! That it my ultimate goal in life, when I become older and start my own family, to have the best Christmas every year!

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: Your Spirit Animal

Who wouldn't wanna be Queen B?

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
