Make Your New Year's Resolution Something You Deserve

I pray you quit being attached to the past and letting it become a conflict for the future.

I pray you stop hating yourself and being obsessed about the flaws you can't change. I pray you can look at yourself and provide the appreciation you deserve.

I pray after the new year begins, you quit being afraid of going after the things that scare you.

I hope that you will quit doing the things that make you unhappy even if it means losing someone, or something.

I pray you will leave the bad company you surround yourself with and envelop yourself with people who makes your life spontaneous.

I hope you get out of the mess you call a relationship.

I want you to stop living under the expectations people have for you and start living under your own standards and expectations.

You should stop killing yourself to make the others happy and make YOURSELF happy.

In the New Year, you need to quit misleading yourself about what you really want and start getting the courage to go after what you really want.

I hope in the new year, you quit running from love and let it find you.

You need to quit comparing yourself to the person to others and start comparing yourself to the person you were yesterday.

You need to realize there's no rush in life. Learn to appreciate the moment, sit back and enjoy the beauty around you.

Go after your dreams, no matter how crazy they might be. Just stop walking down the path of someone else's choosing.

Relax. Stop pressuring yourself, you are causing all of this nonsense stress for yourself. I hope you find the core to what is causing these feelings and simply quit.

Quit holding onto your ex because it's done and over. Stop thinking they will come back.

Stop yourself from waking up unhappy and find what it is that will make you want to get out of bed in the morning.

But most of all stop holding yourself back from all the wonderful opportunities.

Stop settling for less than you deserve. Quit living someone else's life. Just simply stop.

Withdraw from all of this until you're edging towards a life that fills you with simplicity, joy and happiness. You deserve so much better. Just get the courage to quit.

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.
