20 Thoughts You Have While Packing For College
Huffington Post

College is just around the corner. Most of you have probably already gone, but if you’re a late leaver like me, the realization of how much you still have to do in the next two days is hitting you like a ton of bricks. Although you’ve probably asked yourself (and your mother) 500 questions already, here are some of the top twenty statements college students probably say while packing the day before they leave.

1. How is all of this going to fit in the car?

2. Do I really have to bring all of this cleaning supplies?

3. No mom, fifteen T-shirts is not enough for an entire semester.

4. Yes, I know there is a washing machine.

5. What if I decide to dress up for class?

6. Is this can opener really necessary?

7. Am I really going to want to eat all these healthy snacks I bought yesterday?

8. Do I have enough command strips to hang all of this?

9. What if they lose my stuff when they carry it up?

10. Will I have enough room for all of this in my dorm?

11. Six dresses ought to be enough, right?

12. I’m definitely going to need all four of these makeup palettes.

13. You can never take too many athletic shorts, right?

14. Do I really have room for these giant rain boots?

15. What if it gets cold before I come home for fall break?

16. Did I pack my toothbrush already?

17. Why did I pack so much makeup?

18. This is never going to fit in the car or in my room

19. I think I’m forgetting everything.

20. There’s a Target close to campus, right?

Welcome to college kids, there’s nothing more fun than trying to shove your whole life into one car while saying goodbye to everyone around you. Enjoy.

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.
