Tips on how to get your life together.

My Sister's Two Week Plan

Sometimes life can get a little (or a lot) crazy and hectic, and everything is kind of falling apart. To be up front about it, your life is a complete mess. You don't really know what to do anymore or how you could fix it, because what is the point in doing anything when your life is in shambles? But wait, have no fear. My sister has devised a completely fool-proof plan of action to get your life together. So, as long as you follow these steps, in just two weeks you will have everything straightened out again.


Step 1. Fully accept the fact that your life is a mess and you need to fix it as soon as possible.

Step 2. Choose a start date for your two week plan.

Step 3. Completely procrastinate week 1 and pretend the plan hasn't started yet.

Step 4. Realize that you now have one week to cram everything in and begin immediately.

Step 5. Clean up your mess of a room so that your life can follow in its footsteps.

Step 6. Reward yourself for this hard work and take a nap.

Step 7. Brush your hair.

Step 8. Actually get dressed in something that you haven’t slept in for the past three nights to make other people think you have everything together.

Step 9. Reorganize all the little things that don’t matter, such as the shelf of dusty books that you haven’t touched in months (which was probably the last time you reorganized it).

Step 10. Get control of your money by creating a budget on what you can spend.

Step 11. Forget about your budget, and go to the mall to shop and get your nails done with your friends.

Step 12. Stop binge watching Netflix on the couch every night until 3 a.m.

Step 13. Go get ice cream because it very well might be the only thing to make you feel better for the moment.

Step 14. Cry.

Step 15. Make a new and improved two week plan that will actually work, and start that one tomorrow.


So maybe it isn’t quite the best way to get your life put back together, and maybe it isn’t as fool-proof as I made it seem, but at least it’s a start. Don’t worry though, no matter how long it might take or how many times you have to go through a “two week plan," you can always get your life turned back around if you put your mind to it and get a little help from your mom.

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.
