Let me count the ways.

10 Reasons To Be Thankful

1. God: Pray every single day and night. "Have you prayed about it as much as you've talked about it?" Matthew 21:22

2. Family: Who can live without family? Whether it's your mom, dad, aunt, uncle, or even your adopted family, love them unconditionally, even if they do drive you crazy sometimes. The love they have for you may be the only strength you have at many points in your life. They are who truly keep you going.

3. Friends: "F is for friends who do things together, U is for you and me, N is for anywhere at any time at all, down here in the deep blue sea," as SpongeBob SquarePants states.

4. Boyfriend/Girlfriend: Always there know matter what. They will always be a shoulder to cry on when you need them. They're the ones you can talk to about every triumph and every struggle.

5. Job: Without my job, I'm not sure what I would do with all of my free time. My boss and my co-workers are like my second family.

6. Money: Money does get you far in life, and you can't take it with you when you go. Spend it wisely on what you need, and not what you want.

7. Car: My Pontiac G6 may not be the BEST car out there, but it gets me from point A to point B without walking. P.S. I hate walking.

8. Pet: My cat, Thomas, is my world. He will always be my little baby and make me laugh, especially when he chases the mouse around the house like it's his friend. They're always there when it seems like nobody else is.

9. College: College is life! It's to start your future. It's where you meet your sorority sisters, forever love, and your future bridesmaids. Be thankful for the education you receive, as this is the final stepping stone to the real world.

10. Clothes On My Back: I may not have the "coolest" clothes, but I'm glad I have clothes on my back. "She is clothed in strength and dignity. And she laughs without fear of the future." Proverbs 31:25

Be thankful each and every day of your life. Live for what you have, and strive for the things you don't.

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!

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.
