Welcome Back Fall!
Grandfather

School has started which means one thing, Fall is just around the corner! We have been waiting all summer for fall to get here and it is finally almost here. Here are the 10 things we missed about Fall!

1. Sweaters and Hoodies

On a crisp fall morning this is the perfect assessory. It is too hot in the summer for sweatshirts so now we can acctually wear them.

2. Pumpkin Spice

We all say that this is the "basic white girl" season because of Pumpkin Spice everything! The beginning of fall brings back Pumpkin Spice Lattes back to every coffee joint in America and we are all excited.

3. Apple Orchards

Going to the Apple Orchard is one of the best things about fall. Other than picking apples, You can enjoy fresh made doughnuts, Apple Cider, Caramel Apples and a bunch of other delicious treats.

4. Leaves

No matter if you like looking at the colors in the trees or the crunch of the leaves that have fallen, fall is the bset season for leaves!

5. Warm beverages

For the summer, you probably traded your hot drinks for iced coffee and teas. Now that it is fall, you can enjoy warm coffee, teas and hot chocolate and they will help keep you warm.

6. School

For some of us, summer was too long and we are ready to get back to school! We are glad that fall is here now and we can move back to campus and start classes again.

7. Football

Whether you enjoy football or not everyone enjoys football season. Everyone either tailgates, goes for the marching band or to acctually watch the game! There is something for everyone during football season.

8. Halloween

A holiday to get free candy? I'm in! We celebrated halloween more as little kids, but as adults we still enjoy dressing up and going out with our friends.

9. The return of our favorite shows

Most of our favorite TV shows go on a hiatus for the summer so we are all excited for te new fall premiers!

10. Rains

For some reason, fall rain is so much more enjoyable than when it rains in the spring and summer. The way the air smells and how relaxing it is, It's a different feeling in the fall.

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.
