To My Best Friend

I love you with all of my heart, you're one in a million.

To My Best Friend

It's hard to believe that we've been friends for eight years. It feels like just yesterday that we started talking at church and getting sugar highs off soda. Never would I have imagined in fifth grade that we'd become so close all these years later.

I mean it when I say I truly don't know what I would do without you in my life. I could write a book about how much I love you and how thankful I am for you, but I'll try to keep it short.

1. Thank you for everything.

Let's start with a general thank you for every single thing you've ever done for me. From telling me I have food in my teeth to making me look like a fool in front of a cute boy, thank you for all of it. It means the world.

2. Thank you for always being there.

Whether it be something as simple as what to wear to a party or it be the day my grandfather died, thank you for always being there to help. You were there when no one else was and I know I can always count on you no matter what. We may not have many deep heart to hearts (we laugh too much), but I know that you'll always be there to listen when I need someone and I appreciate that more than anything.

3. Thank you for making me laugh.

Goodness, we've laughed a lot in the past eight years. Whenever I'm with you, I'm always laughing. Thank you for always lightening the mood and making me laugh even when I don't feel like it. I know I can always count on you to make anything fun.

4. Thank you for loving me for who I am.

I know I can probably be a little bit annoying sometimes, but you love me anyways. Thanks for sticking by me through my ugly middle school phase and my Carrie Underwood obsession. You've put up with a lot.

5. Thank you for being you.

I hope you know how much I appreciate you. You are perfect just the way you are. Always remember that. You're going to do such great things in life and I can't wait to watch it all by your side.

No matter where life takes us, I know that we'll never drift apart. I can always count on you to be by my side through it all. So believe me when I say, I love you with all my heart.

Thank you for being the very best friend a girl could ever ask for. You're one in a million.

XOXO,
Your Person

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.

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.

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!

The college years are a time for personal growth and success. Everyone comes in with expectations about how their life is supposed to turn out and envision the future. 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.
