Taylor Swift has been accused of exploiting her good deeds for positive publicity, but her gestures are generally personal and direct. She touches the lives of others and whether these acts of kindness are from the heart or a PR stunt, Swift makes her fans’ dreams come true.

Here is a glimpse into the amazing ways Taylor Swift has used her celebrity status to positively impact the lives of others.

She consistently donates money to fans and charities.

1. She sent a fan a check for $1,989 to help pay off her student loan debt.

4. She gave all of the proceeds of her hit single “Welcome to New York” to New York City Public Schools.

5. After a tragic car accident, she donated to the family in need.

However, it’s not just money that Swift donates. She gives her time and effort to brighten the lives of sick fans.

6. She gave a concert to a six-year old fan battling Leukemia.


7. She also had lunch with a cancer-stricken fan and invited another fan battling cancer to the Academy Awards with her after he asked her to prom.

8. She even wrote a song entitled “Ronan” about a child dying of brain cancer and then donated the proceeds to fund cancer research.

She reaches out to fans and shows how much she appreciates their support and encourages them through social media.

9. For #Swiftmas2014, she sent fans personalized gifts and notes in the mail.

10. She also took the time to surprise a fan at her bridal shower.

11. Swift gathered fans and played them songs from her new album “1989” before it was released in what she called 1989 Secret Sessions

.

12. She gave a girl $90 out of her purse in Central Park to get Chipotle for the fan’s birthday.

13. She frequently uses her Instagram or Tumblr to reach out to fans with advice or compliments.


So, haters are gonna "hate hate hate hate hate" and try to say she's doing it for the spotlight, but Taylor Swift is just going to keep being sickeningly nice and spreading joy.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
