Open Letter To A Friend

I just wanted to let you know how special you are

Open Letter To A Friend

Dear Friend,

I know that this letter is not directed to a particular person, but to multiple people that have had an impact on my life. I think that it is important to recognize that some people have more influence in your life than others, good or bad. When you know that you can change and when you find the people that make you a better person is difficult to let go.

I have friends that have taught me how to live in the moment and not worry about what's coming next, others taught to live how I want to live instead of worrying about other people's opinions. Every single person that I let into my life is special, even the ones that I don't talk to anymore. I enjoy learning from them and having them in my life. Sometimes, some friendships last longer and that's okay. You don't need to collect people because people change and, maybe, those friends were in your life at that time to teach you something.

I want to thank all my friends for accepting me for who I am, being crazy with me, teaching me how to be myself, enjoying life together. You are special and, even if we don't talk every day you are still an important part of my life. Don't worry if you don't hear from me because I am the kind of person that does not need to keep in touch with you to know that you are there for me. Also, you should know that if I consider you my friend you can call at any time and I would help you with whatever you are going through. If you just want to tell me a story just call me or text me, and I'll do the same.

You influence my life more than you know and that is why I want you to know how special you are to me. Thank you for being in my life and hope we can learn more from each other.

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!

Top 10 Lessons I Learned My Freshman Year

The first year of college opens your eyes to so many new experiences.

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.
