Remember the days when we actually watched television and didn't spend most of our days on our phones or social media? There was a different focus years ago and I know I'm not the only one that reminisces about those days. When everyone wasn't obsessed with watching other peoples lives but their own. Everyone was in their own lane and these oldies just made everything much better.

1. "Waterboy"

I kind you not, I watched this movie 24/7. Laughing at the same scenes each time, as if I didn't see that same scene when I watched it for the 10th time.

2. "Romeo Must Die"

I wasn't that old when Aaliyah was alive but I remember her so vividly in this movie. Her beauty goes unnoticed and hearing her songs throughout the movie was always a bonus.

3. "Save The Last Dance"

My favorite movie of all time. This made me want to be a ballerina so bad when dance was life.

4. "Bring It On"

All the series, the characters, and the attitudes made cheerleading a force to be reckoned with.

5. "Love Jones"

Falling in love like Nina and Darius did has always been ideal for me. Despite, some of the mishaps they had during their relationship.

6. "The Wood"

Classic. Makes me think if things were the same when my parents went to school.

7. "Napoleon Dynamite"

One of the funniest movies to date. There's no debate on this one.

8. "Martin"

I watch the same episodes of Martin whenever I'm home and actually have time to watch tv. Bruh man is pure jokes.

9. "Brown Sugar"

Being in love with your childhood best friend who also shares the same passions you do. What more could one ask for?

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.

Because we made it, and because high school seniors deserve to know what they're getting themselves into

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!
