The 89-th Academy Awards (aka The Oscars) air Sunday, February 26th on ABC. Such a big occasion deserves an epic watch party. The question is: how does one throw an epic watch party? Wonder know more. Here are some tips on how to throw an awesome Oscar watch party.


1.Invite lots of friends

Oscar Sunday is a big event and the perfect opportunity to invite your friends over to party! Invite your closest friends. Invite friends you haven't talked to in a while. The more, the merrier!


2. Dress Code

Now you don't have to do anything fancy...unless you want to. Dressing up for the Oscars might be fun. If you're more in the mood to relax, try having a pajamas-and-pearls dress code.


3. Oscar Ballots

Oscar ballots are a fun and easy way to add a game/competition to your watch party. Have everyone fill out a ballot before the show begins. At the end of the night see who had the best guesses about the winners.


4. Award Oscar statuettes

You can buy little plastic statuettes at the party store and hand them out as party favor as your guests leave. Or you can have your own awards ceremony and give them to your guests as awards for certain things like Best Dressed. Either way, you're guests are going to love going home with their very own Oscar.


5. Have lots of food.

A party is only as good as its food. Make sure you've got lots of food for people to enjoy. If you don't want to make it all yourself, then do a potluck and ask guests to each bring a dish. Make sure you've got plenty of popcorn on hand. If you're trying to impress with food try making Academy Award-shaped sugar cookies.


6. Have drinks on hand.

How are you supposed to celebrate without a drink in hand? Champagne is a popular choice to toast the Oscars.It's classy and the ultimate celebratory drink. Why let the stars be the only ones enjoying a little bubbly?


7. Decorations

Decorations can make or break a party. It's the Oscars so why not go all out? Gold is the key color for the awards show so use it as your go-to color. Gold balloons. Gold plates and utensils. Maybe even roll out the red carpet for your guests.


8. Watch the Oscars Live

Obviously, you need to watch the Oscars since that's why you're all there, right? Enjoy the show and have a great time commenting on the winners with your friends!

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.

Why Blair Waldorf Is The Realest Bitch To Ever Live

XOXO, Gossip Girl.

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.

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.
