I mean, isn't that just kick-you-in-the-crotch, spit-on-your-neck fantastic?

Sorority Rush, Told By The One And Only Rachel Green

Even though the TV show "Friends" went off the air in 2004, it seems like the characters are just as relatable then as they are now almost 14 years later. Everyone knows someone who resembles a Joey, Rachel, Monica, Chandler, Ross, and Phoebe. This past week, I partook in sorority recruitment at my university and I constantly found myself using Rachel Green gifs to express my emotions to my friends and now I am here to share that with you all!

1. Getting there

Driving to campus the nerves have not totally set in yet and you're feeling good. Not the most excited because you've been hearing rush horror stories for the past few months, but you're excited to see where this week takes you.

2. Orientation

It's fine. We're fine. I'm fine. It just got real. After sitting through an hour or so long presentation about recruitment this whole thing just turned very very real. Am I pacing around my room...yes, but what else am I supposed to do?

3. Beginning of day one

You thought you were nervous yesterday? Funny. Standing outside the first door to the first sorority you debate just dropping dead because the nerves are making you feel like you are truly going insane.

4. End of day one

You remember that button from staples that said "that was easy" well that is currently your mood. Why were you even freaking out to begin with? As you're sitting in your room you think about all the great and meaningful conversations you had yesterday with full confidence. You are definitely getting asked back to all of the sororities.

5. Start of day two

You open your schedule for today and you definitely did NOT get asked back to all the sororities. Those two you didn't even like dropped you and it hurts, not going to lie. But I mean you're fine. I SAID YOU'RE FINE SO STOP ASKING!

6. Start of day three

You get your list and your heart stops. One of your favorites dropped you. But you still have your favorite one left. Maybe you've never felt straight up rejection like this before it's going to be okay. However, if one more person tells you to trust the process you are literally about to start throwing punches!

7. Post day three

Things are starting to get weird. You and your friends have barely slept and the stress is real. Did you actually just buy a rubber chicken? Wait shampoo comes before conditioner in the shower? Did you just slip on literal air? It's getting weird. Very very weird.

8. Pref

Did you seriously get asked back to your favorite sorority? Why is today the greatest day ever. After killing the conversation with one of the sweetest girls in the entire world, sleeping tonight should be easy. You are a super star. You just finished rush. Do I get a medal?

9. Opening the envelope

DID YOU SERIOUSLY GET A BID FROM YOUR FAVORITE SORORITY? IT'S FINE. YOU AREN'T FREAKING OUT. THIS ISN'T THE ABSOLUTE BEST DAY EVER! YOU DID IT. YOU REALLY REALLY DID IT.

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!

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.
