To My High School Friends Who I Won't See Again, This One's For You
Brody Espiritu

To be completely honest, this is one hard article to write. Memories piled into one filing cabinet that I somehow have to unlock. Memories of four years condensed into one simple article that will hopefully reach the attention of my friends. All of the car rides, milkshakes, football games, pep-rally's, and stupidity pressed into a simple article. I won't embarrass you.. I promise. Let's hope I don't mess this up.

Tyler - I know you want to become a police officer but like.. are you sure? Make sure to not pull me over just to say hello. If I see you, I'll speed.

Lilli - In the words of Khalid, "Young, dumb, broke, high school kids." Thank you for the amazing relationship. Wouldn't trade it for the world. Also, I handed food to your aunt at Chick-Fil-A. She was nice.

Nick - "Brody.. why does your spine curve?" Thanks for pointing it out. I really enjoyed learning how to walk again. :)

Jukaylyn - Beyonce who? Never heard of her.

Hayden - Thank you for pushing me to be the Christian I am today. Without you, I wouldn't know anything about how much you love socialism.

Jack - Never go to jail.

Blake - You will be an amazing teacher.

Natalie - Remember when I liked you? That was awkward.

Andrew - You're dating my ex.

Carter - I am begging you to run for President. PLEASE Carter. That way I can be in the White House :)

Milana - I'll always remember when you have a gallon of tea to spill to me. Save some for the next person though.

Emily - "Ya'll I have a problem.. I can't see with my eyes closed."

Chip - Chip please... Do me a favor and never get grounded again...

Lily - You are NOT allowed to graduate this year. Nope.

Greg - Hey Greg


If you are not listed, know that I probably forgot you. BUT blame the ADHD. But on a more serious note, I will never forget the crazy car rides, the Friday night football games, singing at drama practice, the relationship that changed who I am, and the many laughs that were shared along the way. I hope that as we go our separate ways, you enjoy people, laugh until you wheeze, count adventures as lifetime goals, take the pictures that you always wanted, drink the soda (not alcohol) that you wish, meet the people that change your life, and marry the person that will be your forever. Thank you for believing in me as I believe in you. I love you all.


With Love,

Brody

To The Girls With "Daddy Issues," You Are Worthy Of The Love He Never Gave You

You are not alone.

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.

Why Blair Waldorf Is The Realest Bitch To Ever Live

XOXO, Gossip Girl.

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.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

Awkward Icarly GIFfrom Awkward GIFs

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!
