She is the one person on this earth that will always tell me the truth, even if it is not what I want to hear.

My sister, Lindsey, has shown me so much in the past few years that I cannot thank her enough. She is the one person I know I can call at midnight and she will pick up within two rings.

She will sit there and calm me down when I am having a complete and utter mental breakdown and manage to say something that eventually sticks with me, and I will understand why I am feeling the way I am.

I want to thank her for her dedication as a wife, sister, and daughter to my family. I do not think I tell her enough how amazing she is as a person.

My sister is married to a U.S. Naval submariner, my brother-in-law is currently on a three month deployment, where he has limited access to communicate with my sister, which for her totally sucks, but that is the military life.

Now, my sister copes with it in her own way, but I am so glad that she has her own support system to lean on when she needs them. The strength my sister displays is something I can only hope to possess one day as a wife.

I cannot imagine calling anyone else to sit there and crab about my life to, and I know she knows she can always call me and do the same. We are there for one another and I am so lucky to have such an amazing role model of a sister to look up to.

It has sucked that she is 18 hours away from home, and we cannot just go out for a nice glass of wine together, however, I know that she is always a phone call away, and I can count on her no matter the time of day.

My sister is truly the one person I know I can be crazy, goofy self with, we are never afraid to have fun and shake it up a little bit. So, thank you, sissy, for always being my best friend, my support and overall the best sister I could ever ask for. I love ya!

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.
