It’s OK To Not Have Found 'That Person' Yet

Although many college girls hope to become best friends with their roommate or someone from a school organization it is OK to not have created that bond right away. Girls can be a handful when it comes to choosing friends, which makes it harder to connect physically and emotionally with someone. They are quick to judge and assume certain aspects of a person based on looks and style.

Freshman starting college usually hang out with their group of friends from high school that went to the same college as them making it harder for others to join in on their group activates. They eventually feel as if they are an outsider to the group making them feel alone and miserable. Without having a person to turn to, it can be hard to coup with the struggle to make friends in the process.

Don't give up so fast. Everything takes time and the more patient you are with yourself and the ones around you, the more you'll see that certain people just like you are all around campus.

You are not alone.

Personally, I am one of those individuals that have yet to find my "person", someone I trust with every secret, every conflict, and every joke. I have a nice group of close friends that I enjoy spending time with but I'm aware of the fact that they have other best friends they rather hang with before me. I am OK with that. I have come to the conclusion that I am my own best friend. I make choices myself that benefit me in the best ways possible.

Focus on yourself rather than changing who you are for someone else just to make friends. You are amazing the way you are and you should be proud of that.

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.

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.

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.
