New York City is known as the city that never sleeps, and that’s just what it is! This upbeat city is home to many historic museums, cafes, restaurants and famous sites. There is such cheap transportation in and around the city, you cannot beat it. A city like this is something people should experience and visit at least once in their life.

1. The Superb Food

The endless cafes and restaurant choices are amazing. There are some hacks to eating cheap throughout the city, but some of these high end, one of a kind places are so worth it! I enjoyed the Its Sugar Factory for a famous Goblet drink. There are many different types of cuisine available throughout the city, such as, BBQ, Hawaiian, Japanese (poke bowls), Chinese and American. All delicious, I definitely ate my way through Manhattan!

2. The Famous Sites and Architect

The Flat Iron building, Radio City Music Hall and honoring the fallen Twin Towers are all must dos in the city that never sleeps. The Empire State building gives a 360 view of the entire city, an absolutely spectacular view! A famous museum is the Metropolitan of Art and is known for the steps that are laid out front, many television shows have filmed here, including Gossip Girl.


3. The Night Life

The nightlife is always alive and people are always out. The bars and clubs are (almost always) open and people are always looking for a good time in this city! There are always live concerts to see at Madison Square Garden and theirs street music and dancers all over the city!

4. The Must Sees' and Dos

While in New York, there are some things that you just have to do! The statue of Liberty, Brooklyn Bridge and Central Park are just some of the first famous sites that comes to most minds. Coney Island and Staten Island are fun day trips to branch out and see for those who have more time in the city. Rockefeller Center, Chinatown and Soho are more popular tourist destinations throughout Manhattan. It is also important to visit the 9/11 Memorial and the Trade Center to see the harm and damage that was done on one of the worst days in the United States history.

5. Broadway Shows

This is what the city is known for! The Broadway district has shows playing every night. A trip to the city would not be complete without a broadway show! I suggest playing the lottery for the chance to win cheaper tickets (you would be surprised at how many people win each day) this is a fun way to win the chance to see any show that’s playing! I won the lottery and saw Cats last August and it was amazing!

If you hang around after the show, you can meet some of the cast and crew!

New York City is such a huge place that you wont be able to see everything during one trip, however, a city of such popular demand isn’t for everyone. I think it is important to go at least once and see the landmarks, be a tourist and really enjoy one of the most famous cities in the entire world! Take a train for the weekend (trust me parking in the city is a disaster) and take it all in!

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.
