Welcome to Neverland by Sarah Kate Daskal

Pan flutes hanging from tied up strings

Lost Boys play with Lost Boy things

Indians dance to offbeat drums

Pixies, fairies all twiddle their thumbs

Crocodile clocks ticking past ships

Hook can’t form words, trembling lips

Caverns all filled with gold and riches

Neverland may leave you a couple stitches

But not shocked am I that I am here

Dare I say, I’ve got nothing to fear

Cause growing up was such a bore

I’ve got nothing to question, not anymore

Nobody needs me, I’m off on my own

I can walk where I want, I can be all alone

Flying through forests all covered in dust

Never thought I’d run out of faith and trust

Walking through willows and whirling through water

Not proper behavior for a banker’s daughter

and sometimes I miss it, I want to go back

But Peter won’t let me, says I can’t even pack

I’m starting to wonder if this place is alright

starting to wonder how to slip away at night

Lost boys go missing, going, going, gone

Indians go stone face, all red faced at dawn

Pan flutes make no noise, no sound, are silent

Pixies, fairies all mad, all get too violent

How do I leave here, how do I go home

Don’t wanna grow up, but wanna just roam

“Second star to the right..” should have come with a warning

Cause no one knows if you’ll make it til morning

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.

Because we made it, and because high school seniors deserve to know what they're getting themselves into

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!

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.
