Final season is upon us.

The grades we get on these papers or exams can make or break our grades. This is our final attempt at saving our grades. There is a lot of pressure to do well, because we want to be sucessful. Here is a list of stages everyone goes through when studying for finals.

1. Motivation


You tell yourself that you can do this. All your hard work for this semester is finally coming to an end. You have all your notes, books, and tests that will help you do well.

2. Procrastination


Netflix, social media, and friends all get in the way of your studying. You can't focus. And instead of writing your term paper you're watching Shameless.

3. The Giving Up Stage

Your "breaks" have added up, and you realize you haven't been doing as much work as you would have wanted to.

4. The Freak Out Stage

You tell yourself to stop binge-watching shows and playing stupid games on your phone. It's time to study and focus. You flip open your notebooks and realize you can't even understand your notes, the PowerPoints your professor posted are unhelpful, and you realize you've zoned out during your lectures.

5. The Cramming Stage

24 hours before your first exam. You drink more caffeine in these 24 hours than you have in your entire lifetime. 5-Hour Energy becomes your one and only friend. Whenever you start to fall asleep, you slap yourself in an attempt to wake yourself up.

6. Acceptance


You realize that it's now time to take your exams and that no amount of last minute studying can help you. In a few years, you won't even remember what grade you got on this test.

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.
