The Lessons I Learned From Blair Waldorf

Now that I have finally finished watching "Gossip Girl" (took me about six months), I can finally say that Blair Waldorf is absolutely my favorite character on the show. I loved watching her personal style evolve from headbands to princess gowns. I loved watching her navigate her time at NYU, and watching her experience a roller coaster love affair with Chuck. She often came off as bold and daring, but there were also moments where she was vulnerable and scared. Now, I would never allow myself to be one of her "minions," but I do think she is the type of friend that everybody should have. Someone who keeps everybody in line, but also knows how to be down to earth and caring. Here are 16 things that Blair Waldorf has taught me...

1. Know who you are and stand up for yourself.

2. If something doesn't go your way, find another way to make it happen.

3. Everybody feels isolated every once in awhile.

4. Hiding your feelings is harder than keeping them inside.

5. Try to be optimistic as much as possible.

6. Love is an emotional journey, but time and fate will ultimately decide the outcome.

7. Everything is better on vacation (specifically Paris).

8. Being happy is more important than getting everything you want.

9. Never let anything hold you back from doing what you want.

10. Fight for the things and people you love.

11. Everybody gets jealous.

12. Imagine yourself as the princess you always wanted to be.

13. You need to take some time for yourself every once in awhile.


14. Try to keep your best friend, forever.

15. Learn to master the perfect eye roll. It will come in handy.

16. "Tights are not pants."

17. And most importantly, everybody has a soulmate.

As college students, we are all familiar with the horror show that is course registration week. Whether you are an incoming freshman or selecting classes for your last semester, I am certain that you can relate to how traumatic this can be.

1. When course schedules are released and you have a conflict between two required classes.

Bonus points if it is more than two.

The transition from living with parents to being on my own was an experience I couldn't have even imagined- both a good and a bad thing.

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
