The Tale Of Two Lovers

Tell me the story of the true lovers,

Yes the ones that couldn’t live without each other,

The ones that meet under a hot Vermont sun,

With a love so strong it’s sparks could stun,

Two helpless kids enticed in each other,

Who would never forget those long days of summer,

She had a dark beauty,

Dangerous to touch,

Yet he fell for her darkness,

And could not get enough,

He came from a town of broken dreams and regrets,

Yet he was the one she said she would not forget,

They were’nt like the others,

They hated the trends,

The stupid clichés,

That consumed all her friends,

So they denounced the mainstream,

And drunk college parties,

For tumblr, hot topic,

And Tim Burton movies.

They did have their flaws,

It’s so sad to say,

Those poor fragile souls,

Who were led astray.

She had small indents,

That she had made,

Upon her petite wrist,

With a small silver blade,

He would alter his reality,

As best as he can,

By taking those drugs,

To find wonderland,

Both saw the other,

Had damage so great,

So they cared for each other,

Guided by fate,

He past the nights,

In her dorm room,

Contemplating his life,

As she would lay a snooze,

Then one night,

She began to awake,

As she opened her eyes,

To a darkness so great,

A small gleam of light,

Came through the windows,

As she saw her lover,

And heard his cries so low,

She clutched his hand,

And asked what plagued his mind,

To which he responded,

That amazing girl of mine,

She smiled and said,

So why the tears,

To which he said,

Because of my fears,

You see I’ve had past lovers,

A relationship or two,

A restless search for love,

But none of them were,

As perfect as you,

And I weep for the fear,

That you will one day realize,

That you could be so much happier,

With some other guy,

She clutched his arm tighter,

Into his eyes she calmly stared,

As she whispered soothingly,

I’m not going anywhere,

And all did seem perfect,

Both seemed quite at ease,

But there was a hellish storm brewing,

To disturb the two lovers peace.

You see as time went on,

He started to recover,

Oh how I wish I could,

Say the same for the other,

You see her depression,

Began to get even worse,

So she started to immerse herself,

In that enticing darkness of hers,

He tried to help her,

But stumbled and failed,

There was no happy ending,

To this miserable fairy tale,

They had said they’d be there for the other,

True they would always stay,

But then came that dismal September day,

When without explanation,

Racheal just walked away.

No Matter How Challenging School Gets, You Have To Put Your Health First — A Degree Won't Mean Anything If You're Dead

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.

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!
