Oscars Fashion 2017: First Impressions
The Week

I'm writing this as the Oscars are beginning, and I've been taking notes on all of the red carpet looks I've seen so far. Here are my first impressions about the best and worst of 2017 Oscars fashion: the good, the bad, and the ugly.

Best Dressed, The Women: Hailee Steinfeld and Taraji P. Henson

 

Seeing Hailee Steinfeld in her sheer floral dress made my jaw drop. I love everything about her look, from her hair to her makeup to every ruffle on her gown. At only 20 years old, Hailee Steinfeld is already making huge waves on the Oscar red carpet.

Taraji P. Henson can't go unmentioned. She looks absolutely amazing in her classic black gown and glimmering necklace, and will definitely be turning heads all night.

Best Dressed, The Men: Mahershala Ali and Dev Patel

 

In his black on black ensemble, with just a pop of color in his pocket square, Mahershala Ali looks super sophisticated and sleek. Dev Patel, wearing a black and white suit, looks fresh and classy. Both of them definitely hit the mark this year.

More Favorite Looks, The Women: From Chrissy Teigen to Octavia Spencer

Chrissy Teigen in Roberto Cavalli and Halle Berry in Versace.

Octavia Spencer in Marchesa and Kirsten Dunst in Dior.

Honorable Mentions, The Women: Zuri Hall and Luciana Barroso

Zuri Hall was one of the presenters on the E! News red carpet coverage, and I could not stop staring at her gorgeous purple floral gown. And Matt Damon's wife, Luciana Barroso, looked absolutely incredible in her gown and definitely deserved a mention.

Honorable Mentions, The Men: Lin-Manuel Miranda and Andrew Garfield l 

Adorned with the ACLU blue ribbon, Lin-Manuel Miranda looked dapper and humble on the red carpet. Andrew Garfield kept it classic with a black tux and big bow tie.

Worst Dressed, The Women: Dakota Johnson and Scarlett Johansson

Both of these gowns just missed the mark tonight. Dakota Johnson was wearing the wrong color and fabric, and the cut of her gown looked sloppy and old fashioned. Scarlett Johansson didn't look nearly formal enough for the Oscars, and the cut and pattern of her dress seemed to swallow her whole. Also, her dark, studded belt clashed too much with the dress.

To The Girls With "Daddy Issues," You Are Worthy Of The Love He Never Gave You

You are not alone.

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.

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!

The college years are a time for personal growth and success. Everyone comes in with expectations about how their life is supposed to turn out and envision the future. We all freak out when things don't go exactly as planned or when our expectations are unmet. As time goes on, we realize that the uncertainty of college is what makes it great. Here are some helpful reminders about life in college.

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.
