Legend says in order to keep your relationship fun and fresh, you should never stop dating each other. Valentine's Day shouldn't be the only day of the year where you shower your partner with love and affection.

Realistically, this can be more challenging as you grow older together, as you're of the "honeymoon" phase. Just because your relationship isn't brand new doesn't mean that your spark still isn't alive! Relationships can be tough but become so much easier when you're with the right person.

Make date night a priority at least once a month

Go out to dinner or see a movie! Let's start treating every day like Valentine's Day. Okay, maybe not EVERY DAY, but you feel me.

Never stop trying to win each other over

There was a time where you two were so head-over-heels, crazy about each other, who says that ever has to stop?

Do something that takes you out of your comfort zone

Show each other that you still care about each other by doing what the other person wants to do for fun! Make sure you're BOTH participating every so often so that you stay mutual, and not always doing what one person wants to do all of the time.

Never stop dating each other

Expanding more on #2, never stop appreciating. Like wine, it should get better over time. They're your partner, your best friend, your everything! Treat them as such, always. You're in this together!

Try new things together

Whether it be weekend getaways or trying new restaurants, trying new things together creates a memory you'll never forget. Recently, we just booked our first big vacation and we can't wait to start traveling together and eventually explore the world!

Keep capturing the moment

There will never be a time where you look back and regret taking pictures, especially as you grow older together. I love looking back on our first year of dating just to see how much we’ve grown!

Keep an open line of communication

The one might be the most important on the list. I cannot stress this enough. If something's bothering you, on your mind, or you're curious about, how will it ever get resolved if you don't open up and talk about it? Bottling something up is the key to a disaster, and we avoid it at all costs. My boyfriend and I made it a rule early on in the relationship always say what’s on your mind.

Always say "I love you" before bed

Never go to bed angry, there's no point in ending the night being miserable together.

Be able to adapt in change for one another

You'll always have to work together as you each become different people as you grow older. You're not going to be the same person you were when you were younger, so allow yourself to grow, and help your partner see their growth within you.

 Talk about your future

Personally, I don't see the point in dating for a long period of time if you don't follow it up with full commitment. Talk about your hopes, dreams, and futures together. Find a way that you can achieve your goals together.

Finding your person in this world is unlike anything I could've ever imagined. We've spent five crazy years together and I wouldn't have changed them for anything in the universe.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

Recently I completed my freshman year of college, and boy, what an experience. It was a completely new learning environment and I can't believe how much I learned. In an effort to save time, here are the ten biggest lessons I learned from my first year of college.

1. Everyone is in the same boat

For me, the scariest part of starting school was that I was alone, that I wouldn't be able to make any friends and that I would stick out. Despite being told time and time again that everyone had these same feelings, it didn't really click until the first day when I saw all the other freshman looking as uneasy and uncomfortable as me. Therefore, I cannot stress this enough, everyone is feeling as nervous as you.
