20 Little Things To Celebrate

It’s getting to that point in the semester where any little victory can help keep your spirits up. Summer is almost here, but your professors are piling on the work and finals week is approaching quickly. In order to stay sane during this crazy time, here are some little times during your day or week to celebrate.

1. Getting an A on a quiz.

2. Doing laundry.

3. Thoroughly reading a chapter in your textbook.

4. Learning all the lyrics to a new song.

5. Remembering a friend’s birthday.

6. Wishing that friend “Happy Birthday” right at midnight.

7. Walking up four flights of stairs to your room instead of taking the elevator.

8. Making it to the gym a couple times during the week.

9. Avoiding a socially awkward situation.

10. Waking up on time for class.

11. Completing a homework assignment several days in advance.

12. Passing a room inspection.

13. Choosing a salad over a hamburger.

14. Walking to class instead of taking the bus.

15. Writing an assignment without checking social media.

16. Cooking a meal more complicated than pasta with sauce.

17. Winning a game of cards.

18. Getting enough stamps for a free coffee.

19. Finding out you don’t have any cavities.

20. Seeing a jacket you wanted went on sale.

You are a great, successful student and one bad grade won't ruin you. Take a break from studying to celebrate the little things you accomplish each day. This will help you relieve stress and promote a positive attitude. You have almost finished the semester. You've got this.

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.

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

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.
