The Thoughts That Go Through Your Head While You're Procrastinating

This past week for college students has been absolute hell. It has been an insane amount of stress, studying, and too much caffeine. There are a lot of things that are probably going through your head while you are in this mild zone of panic and stress. I mean, I know that I was full of so many emotions, I didn't know what to do with all of them. But the important thing to remember is that when the week is over, it's completely done. You have absolutely nothing to worry about other than getting the chance to relax and go home and play with your pet if you have one. The holidays that come after finals are definitely the thing that keeps most of us going. Because of this, I have compiled a list of things that go through your head while you are trying to finish up finals for the semester.

"Hopefully the professor likes me enough to personally go in and change my grade to something higher."

"I probably should have gone to class rather than skip all those times so I would actually know the material."

"I probably should have taken notes or listened more in the class."

"There is something fundamentally wrong with packing all of my finals into one week."

"My head is too small for the amount of information that I have to cram into it."

"Is that really my 6th cup of coffee today?"

"Is it really 3am already?"

"I should really stop watching Netflix and start studying."

"I should not worry about cleaning the house now, I should probably study."

"Literally going to Walmart for no other reason but to get out of the house is not the best option at the moment."

"Death and dying would be a better option."

"I don't think I want to be in college anymore."

"Why should I pay all this money for no other reason than to torture myself during finals?"

"Do I honestly need more take out? I could just eat healthy. I would feel a lot better."

"Well, I definitely failed that final."

"I only have like 500 more words to write for this essay. Might as well wait to do it until later. It won't be that hard. "

"That was a mistake"

"I'm going to be better prepared for the next final."

"I am going to do nothing but focus for this exam and not let anything distract me."

"Well, there's always next semester."

Finals are always the worst part of the semester. But at least it's all over now and we can celebrate by gorging ourselves with food and fun with the upcoming holidays! Have a great break everyone!

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.
