A few weeks ago, I had the blessing of attending Winter in West Palm Beach, an activist retreat through Turning Point USA. Over 500 students from 47 states attended, and people from ages 16-25 came. The conference brought the attendees together to educate and empower all of us on conservative values in order to prepare us to fight the left and educate others on the principles of small government, capitalism, free markets, and the downfalls of socialism.

Winter in West Palm Beach featured a number of speakers, such as Tomi Lahren, Joe Walsh, Thomas Massie, Julie Borowski, Kimberly Corban, Cabot Phillips, Ben Shapiro, Ted Cruz, and Donald Trump Jr. The conference was a huge success, with so many memories made. I wish I could describe to you what West Palm was really about, but here's a recap of quotes from our phenomenal speakers.

1. Donald Trump Jr.

"This has been the biggest revolution since 1776 and against all odds, we won."

2. Joe Walsh

"You're involved in this organization because you bleed red, white, and blue."

"I don't believe in Trump. I don't believe in any politician. I believe in freedom."

"Let me keep my money, let me carry my gun, and let me buy my own healthcare. Government, get the hell out of my life."

3. Kimberly Corban

"It's not about protecting the 2nd amendment for guns, it's about protecting the constitution for you."

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: Your Spirit Animal

Who wouldn't wanna be Queen B?

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
