Women. There was a reason that they were created. Women. In so many ways are a blessing and are very much so needed in this world. They are charismatic and intelligent upon exiting the womb. It's like they were born smart. It seems that since the beginning of time, women were always set on a back burner, with very little opinion and voice. It was common that most women were stay-at-home moms and did most of the cooking and cleaning. After all, it was said that was all they were good for, according to men back then.

Throughout time we've begun to notice the wonders that women can offer. The intellectual beauty and originality that surrounds them. The empowerment we've witnessed. For example, Michelle Obama. I mean, can you say beautiful, intelligent, and powerful? A perfect role model for women. She does what she can to empower women and spark confidence in others. Beyoncé, a world-known musician, her music alone is a statement. My mom, grandmother, great-grandmother. Powerful. They paved the way for me and groomed me to become the woman I'm becoming.

Women. They were blessed with the ability to bear life. A gift. A life. Women are also able to love and care deeply. It seems as though a woman is programmed to have deeper feelings than those of a male. I feel as though a woman is at her best when she is confident and comfortable with herself. When her self-esteem is at its peak. Although some women have insecurities and flaws, I believe that is what makes a woman human and relatable. No woman is perfect but her imperfections are what make her true.

Women. We don't give many of them enough credit. Beautiful and intelligent, they are in control and upcoming. They're making a bold statement and are continuing to contribute to our world with endless ideas. My challenge to you is to try to imagine a world without women. You can't because there wouldn't be one.

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.
