No matter how big or small there will always be something that makes us insecure.

Insecurities Make You Weak

People say all the time that the insecurities you carry are a sign of weakness. I disagree with this statement completely. The insecurities we carry aren't weaknesses. They are a sign of strength and courage that people should embrace.

Insecurities have a wide range. People are insecure about so many different things. For example, some people are insecure about how they dress, or how they look. I've even met people who are insecure in the way they eat food or the way they laugh. With the world becoming so superficial people have lost their ability to embrace their insecurities. Maybe it is due to the fact that social media has made it seem as if people shouldn't have any insecurities and live this "instagrammy life". The problem with this is that we as humans aren't perfect. We all have flaws. As rude as that sounds you and me both have many flaws. Noone is perfect. We are all trying to be as perfect as possible, but it doesn't mean that we have become successful in being completely perfect.

So this is for anyone who needs to hear this. Your insecurities don't define you. No matter what insecurities you have you should embrace them and love yourself regardless. Be less harsh on yourself and enjoy the one life we have to live. Let me repeat again. Be less harsh on yourself and enjoy the one life we have to live.

Trust me, you may think you are not beautiful, or you smile weird, or your feet are too big whatever the insecurity is just remember these insecurities are a way for yourself to compete with no one else but yourself. However, just remember these insecurities mean nothing.

Be yourself. Love yourself. Treat yourself.

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.
