The Bride

Getting married for the wrong reasons.

Style Me Pretty

Some might describe them as a molten pool of chocolate. Others might describe them as a freshly-brewed cup of coffee. More might describe them as the shade of a freshly-made pan of gooey brownies. Me? I like to describe them as a steaming pile of shit. I mean, nothing's particularly wrong with his eyes. They are a perfectly normal pair of eyes. No glasses, or contacts, or anything. Almost too perfect. But that’s exactly why I hate them.

Maybe, I would like them more if it wasn’t for the millions of camera flashes going off every minute. It's annoying. I already know I'll remember this day for the rest of my life. Pictures are not necessary. They should take in their surroundings instead; this is the fanciest event many of the guests ever attended. (Myself included.)

Or perhaps, it's the flowers. Of course, the one flower I hate are the ones covering every inch of this building. Orchids. (I. Hate. Orchids.) I can hold down five shots of vodka no problem, but give me a bouquet of orchids, and I will frantically offer to pay for dry cleaning to rid your clothes of my vomit because "manners".

I distract myself by gazing down the length of my husband. Damn, he is tall. (And well-built.) I don’t mind this part of the deal, at all. I wasn’t promised anything, but that does not mean I won't do my best to get some benefits for myself. He comes with a hefty package, and I'm not past enjoying the advantages it provides.

Finishing my examination, I glance over at the priest. The sweat on his upper lip makes me throw up a little in my mouth, so I quickly look away. He still drones on and on about stuff I don’t give a rat’s ass about.

For better, for worse... Yes, until you get old, and ugly, and have wrinkles, and lose those abs...

For richer, for poorer... This is only happening because you’re rich, and if you ever lose that, then I’m leaving you faster than I drove that one time I tried to outrun the cops...

In sickness, and in health... You have another thing coming if you think I’ll take care of your sorry ass when you get sick...

Until death do us part... or until the next guy with a bigger wallet comes by.

You may now kiss the bride.

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

two women enjoying confetti

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.

Feeling Lost During Syllabus Week? You're Not Alone!

Kourtney Kardashian

Winter break is over, we're all back at our respective colleges, and the first week of classes is underway. This is a little bit how that week tends to go.

The professor starts to go over something more than the syllabus

You get homework assigned on the first day of class

There are multiple group projects on the syllabus

You learn attendance is mandatory and will be taken every class

Professor starts chatting about their personal life and what inspired them to teach this class

Participation is mandatory and you have to play "icebreaker games"

Everybody is going out because its 'syllabus week' but you're laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Now it's time to get back into the REAL swing of things. Second semester is really here and we all have to deal with it.

panera bread

Whether you specialized in ringing people up or preparing the food, if you worked at Panera Bread it holds a special place in your heart. Here are some signs that you worked at Panera in high school.

1. You own so many pairs of khaki pants you don’t even know what to do with them

Definitely the worst part about working at Panera was the uniform and having someone cute come in. Please don’t look at me in my hat.
