10 Ways To Identify The Blanche Devereaux Of Your Friend Group

Blanche Devereaux is sexy, strong, smart, brave, and a great friend (usually). All of the golden girls are unique in their own way, but Blanche is above and beyond– a true diva. She knows what, or who, she wants and doesn't stop until she gets it. Her stylish outfits and hostile comebacks are what set her apart from Rose, Dorothy, and Sophia. Everyone needs a friend like Blanche–sassy, strong, and not afraid to tell it like it is. So, here are 10 ways to identify the Blanche of your friend group.


1. They give backhanded compliments


2. Their appearance is everything


3. They have a very active dating life


4. They embrace their sexuality


5. They're pretty talented


6. They take great pride in their ancestry

Blanche: [after telling the story of how her nanny left her] We Southerners don't forget things like that.
Dorothy: It's true. Possum is brain food.

7. They often have to put their foot in their mouth


8. They really care what others think about them

Dorothy: Okay, I'd say you were one of the prettiest friends I've ever had.
Blanche: Only "one of"?
Dorothy: The, Blanche! The prettiest.

9. They're beautiful and know it


10. They give not-so-great advice

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
