Put Ariana Grande's 'Thank U, Next' On Repeat Because It Has Some Advice That We All Need To Learn

Ariana Grande's new single "Thank u, next" started breaking records less than 24 hours after it was released. It is a catchy song that many have already fallen in love with. However, I think it is important to look at the messages hidden in this pop hit. The song is about her ex's, but it is the way she sings about them that is important.

She goes through each of her ex's saying "one taught me love, one taught me patience and one taught me pain." Then in the chorus, she says "I'm so fucking grateful for my ex." I think this is important because so many of us tend to look back on past relationships and put them in a negative light. Once a relationship ends it is easy to push it to the back of your mind and think about it only negatively. However, Ari is appreciating the fact that she has spent time with each man and reflecting on what they have taught her. I think this is an important way of thinking that a lot of us could benefit from. She is saying that yeah, she's ready to move on, but she appreciates the time spent with each man and can reflect on how it has helped her grow.

Later in the song Ari sings about her wedding day "Only wanna do it once, real bad gon' make that shit last." I know a lot of couples that have stayed together even if they are unhappy for the fear of not finding someone else. It is easy to get caught up in a relationship, but I agree with Ari and think it is important to step back and think about what you really want and whether or not the relationship you are in is giving you that. Remember, there is no rush, so take it slow and wait for the right person to come along to have the best relationship.

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!
