Haven't seen a day above freezing in three weeks? Don't worry, I haven't either which is why I feel that I am not equipped to share with you the secrets of surviving the coldest days. Walking anywhere, let alone class, is rough in this weather, but if you bundle up enough you might make it through the day without your tears turning to ice while thinking about all the work you have.

1. As soon as you wake up, change into two pairs of leggings and a pair of sweatpants.

Maybe even add a layer of super comfy pajama pants.

2. Then put on a tank top, two shirts, and a sweatshirt.

There is no such thing as too many layers.

3. Make sure you have a huge blanket scarf to put on next.

If you don't have a wearable blanket, any scarf will do.

4. Don't forget to start boiling water for hot chocolate now.

A cup of hot chocolate a day keeps the cold away.

5. After you pour yourself a cup, get on those gloves.

10/10 would recommend the furry Urban Outfitter gloves.

6. Put on your puffy winter jacket.


You probably feel like a marshmallow, but a warm marshmallow.

7. Crank the heat as high as it goes.

Even if your heater makes a noise that makes you think it might catch on fire any second crank it all the way up.

8. Get back in bed.

Did you actually think you were leaving?

9. Pull the covers all the way up.

Form the perfect Netflix and nap cocoon.

10. Wrap yourself in another blanket.

Bonus warmth if you have a heated blanket.

11. Do not leave unless your GrubHub order arrives.

I mean, I wish I was kidding but really, there is no need to move when it is this cold outside.

12. Come up for air or for another cup of hot cocoa or for your second GrubHub order to come.

Again, it is too cold to actually do anything so might as well just embrace.

13. Think about how close summer is.

The beach. Music festivals. Driving with the windows down. Yes, summer is soon.

14. Remember that tomorrow is supposed to have a feel of -6 degrees, but also remember that tomorrow is no longer the weekend and you have class.

Repeat steps 1-6, but this time find the door and not your bed. Good luck in the cold - you got this!

Turns out, the best way to avoid the cold is really just to hibernate. Next time you think you want to leave rethink and head back to bed. If you have to actually go outside make sure that you bundle up with about a million layers!

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.
