I deserve someone who loves me in all the ways I wasted on you.

I wait anxiously for the day I meet someone who sweeps me off my feet and makes me forget about all my past pain, just like you once did. The day this finally happens is when you become a piece of the past that will never resurface in the future.

I wait for the day for you to become nothing, after once meaning everything, but until then I’ll continue to cringe every time you still creep across my mind.

What you never took the time to realize is, you need me way more than I will ever need you. That’s why at 3 a.m. when you’re stumbling home from a night out, the first person to swim through your hurricane of intoxicated thoughts is me.

That’s why every time you’re in town, you are so urgent to meet up with me, begging for a reminder of how it feels for a girl to love you beyond the one-night duration you’re so familiar with.

Be the coward I know you are and convince yourself that I was just another girl of your many, even though we both know that’s a lie, for the reason I had the feelings I did was because they were all shared with you.

Tell yourself all you want when my eyes finally open and I no longer see you in the picture that I didn’t matter, even though I know I did. While I definitely wasn’t your only girl, I know I’ll forever be your favorite.

I deserve a guy who cares about how I feel every night, not just the ones I spend with you. I deserve someone who wants to show me off, and not just on his Snapchat at five in the morning.

But most of all, I deserve someone who loves me in all the ways I wasted on you.

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!

We all freak out when things don't go exactly as planned or when our expectations are unmet. As time goes on, we realize that the uncertainty of college is what makes it great. Here are some helpful reminders about life in college.

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.
