A feminist is not a woman who hates men.

A feminist does not need to be a lesbian.

A feminist is not a woman who thinks women are better then men.

A feminist does not even need to be a women.

A feminist by definition is any person who believes in the political, economic, and social equality of the sexes.

A feminist is not weak.

A feminist is a strong person who wants equal rights for both genders. A feminist sees equality as a right that should be given freely. I am a feminist. I believe that I am just as good as any man and no person has the right to make me feel anything less than equal. I hope that one day every job will pay based on experience and how hard a person works, no based on whether a man or a woman is doing the job. I hope that one day it will not be looked down on for women to be in the military and for women to be strong. I hope that one day it will not be looked down on for men to be nurses. Every person is equal whether they are male or female, straight or gay, black or white. No person is better than any other person and if you believe you are, then I can guarantee you the person you see as less than you, is the better human being.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
