If you knew me in seventh grade going into eighth grade you knew who I obsessed over. The ICONic Boyz. These Boyz were the center of my universe anything that had to do with them I bought it, anything they went too I went too, I was an ultimate fangirl. I never thought this day would come but here are reasons as to why I miss being an ICONiac.

1. The late night voting sessions.

I was in seventh grade staying up all night on my blackberry texting in a number to vote to keep them safe. The boyz ended up coming in second place to I.aM.mE crew.

2. The meet and greets

I remember waiting to see PacificRimVideos with Chris interviewing fans at all the meet and greets. I attended three meet and greets when I was younger, Manalapan Day (June 11th, 2011), RollerJam (September 1st, 2011), Halloween Party (October 30th, 2011), and then one of Vinny's Dance Classes (December 17th, 2011).

3. The Tumblr days

If you were a fan of the boyz you one hundred percent had a Tumblr account. On Tumblr, we would talk about anything. From how unfair ABDC was, to fan fictions about the Boyz, and other things like gifs and "unseen" pictures.

4. The dances

They had some of the best dances on ABDC and that's exactly why they came in second place. One of my favorite ones was their Teenage Dream dance (look it up on YouTube you won't regret it).

5. The Vlados

If you didn't own a pair of Vlados you were a fake fan (I had the black and pink ones but I never wore them).

6. They were adorable

I was the same age as them when they were famous and I was absolutely obsessed with them especially Nick Mara (pictured above). Everyone had their one favorite and your favorite was yours and couldn't be anyone else's.

7. The Merch

The ICONic Boyz had some of the coolest merch. I remember having sweatpants for their dance studio ICON and a t-shirt with their logo on it (This shirt said Boys will be Boyz).

8. The other boyz we didn't know about

Only seven of the ICONic Boyz were on ABDC so when I found out about the other six boyz I was shook (I still have that poster signed by all of them).

9. We all wanted Geo to be our dance instructor

Geo was the coolest. Hands down don't argue.

10. Open Houses at ICON

Even if you didn't attend the open house, standing outside waiting for the boyz to come out of ICON was the best.

11. We all wanted to be apart of the ICONic Girlz

We all wanted to be one of them. They were all perfect and amazing dancers (@Alexis Hargrave you are still my favorite).

12. We also wanted to be apart of the ICONic Dollz

The older more mature ones that we all wanted to be like when we grew up (@Nicolette Fusco who isn't in this picture I love you).

13. They're matching outfits

They were the best things to ever happen to me especially the neon yellow Adidas jumpsuits.


These days were some of the best days of my life and I will always miss them and regret not cherishing them more. @ICONicBoyz I miss and love you always.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
