Thank you for being my person.

To The Friend I Thought I Lost Forever
Niyati Khakhar

In my experience, when friendships hit bumps, they end. They always end. I had never met a real friend who stuck by my side no matter what bumps were in the way. Until I met you.

Since the day we spoke for the first time, I noticed something. I noticed that you have a personality that I had never seen before. Life just flowed out of you, like a radiating light. No matter what was going on, your outgoing laugh and outlook on life just seemed to make all of the other stuff fade away. You always felt like a place I had never been. I knew I had something good; something worth holding on to. I would have done anything in my power to keep holding on to you. You slipped through my fingers faster than I ever could have anticipated, and it's a day that will run circles around my mind for a long time to come.

Have you ever met someone, that almost didn't seem human? Someone that was just so amazing that you just could not fathom how much love you had for this person? I certainly had never felt that. Losing you was the hardest, most horrible thing I could have imagined. That night, the world felt empty. Not just my bedroom, not just my building. There was something missing. That night I knew I had just let go of something that I would never be able to replace.

All the memories I have with you, all the laughs and awkward moments chased me in circles. I missed the feeling of knowing I had you. I was not going to let this be the end of it, if it was the last thing I did. Our inside jokes would slip out sometimes, and it would break my heart a little bit more each time.

"I LOVE YOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUU!"

Rekindling with you was by far the most refreshing and reassuring thing I have done. We both realized that this can not be so easily replaced, and I have really found myself one of the most loyal, loving, funny human beings there is.

Thank you for being my person, I truly love and appreciate everything you have been, and everything you are.

In case you forgot:

Your butt is perfect.

Your smile lights up the room.

Your mind is insanely cool.

You are way more than enough.

You are doing an amazing job at life.

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.
