To The Roommate I Never Knew I Needed

Thank you for always being there, even if it is just knowing you are right upstairs.

To the person who has spent countless hours watching movies with me, who has never failed to make me laugh even in the most stressful of times, and who has supported me and encouraged me every step of the way: Thank you. Thank you for being there to pick me back up again. Thank you for knowing me better than I know myself sometimes. Thank you for always being there, even if it is just knowing you are right upstairs.

Whenever I am feeling overwhelmed I know you'll be there to talk me through it. You know just how to make me step back and see the bigger picture. Your continual encouragement never goes unnoticed.

Your kindness and compassion are something I genuinely admire about you. I know you don't feel like it, but you carry a heart of gold. I've never seen someone so devoted to being a good friend.

Despite your messy room, our opposite outlooks on tidiness are almost perfect. You make living with you easy (even when I want to clean up your mess for you).

And in the darkest times, I find so much comfort in just knowing you're there. We don't even have to speak, you being there is simply enough.

From our late-night food runs to our hilarious adventures and everything in between, I now couldn't imagine my life (or our apartment) without you in it. I never knew I needed someone like you. Keeping me sane in all the madness, providing comfort in all the heartbreaks and allowing me to be myself at all times - you truly are the best roommate I could've asked for.

To the Monica to my Rachel, to the Josh to my Drake, to the Meredith to my Christina: sorry but, you're stuck with me.

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!

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.
