To Everyone With A Summer Birthday, From A Low-Key Jealous Fall Baby

To Everyone With A Summer Birthday, From A Low-Key Jealous Fall Baby

I am low-key jealous of all the people with summer birthdays (as a person with a fall birthday) because you get to celebrate something over the summer.

When you have a fall or winter birthday all the celebrations are kinda lumped together: Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, which can be a blessing and a curse. Sure summer has things like vacations and I guess Fourth of July, but it doesn't compare to the endless holidays during the colder months.

This being said, the summer birthdays get to have their celebrations (and gifts/money) spread out throughout the year and, just when you get out of school and think you are broke, your birthday comes up and you are loaded.

My November birthday, on the other hand, comes right before Thanksgiving, after Halloween, and a little before Christmas. Talk about a busy couple of months, then after that, it's like nothing happens until October rolls around again.

Although it is kinda fun, having everything together at the same time, as it is my favorite time of the year.

Summer birthdays, I have a question for you. Do you like the summer or winter time better? I am just curious because usually, people enjoy their birthday season the most, right?

I actually don't know if that is true, but it is for me. I guess growing up having parties would be different too because you could do things outside, maybe go to the pool or beach.

See, I never had that.

My party was either "Harry Potter" themed, which is kinda a Christmasy movie, or me and my friends drinking hot chocolate and making ornaments or something. So, summer birthdays just remember you are kinda lucky.

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.

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!

Here are some helpful reminders about life in college.
